Read the comments on this New York Times blog post. I would bet a sizable amount of money that Sarah Palin is more intelligent than 90% of the commenters. I have no idea why anyone thinks she's unintelligent, unless it's her folksy way of speaking. But that has no bearing on intelligence. That progressives conflate speaking ability (or style) and intelligence says a great deal about their own intelligence, or lack thereof. By the way, I'd put Palin up against Barack Obama in an intelligence test any day of the week.
