This is not offered in support of an argument that O'Donnell isn't stupid, but it does explain a lot about W and Palin's rhetoric. Making them out to be stupid merely endears them to their base.
I bet all three of them make more money in what should an intellectual pursuit (politics/public policy) than any combination of 3 posters on this board in 2011. In that context I wish was (a) stupider; and (ii) able to use my stupidity to greater effect.
