Palin Taken Aback by Obama 'Superpower' Remark
Sunday, 18 Apr 2010 07:55 AM
Sarah Palin criticized President Barack Obama on Saturday for saying America is a military superpower "whether we like it or not," saying she was taken aback by his comment.
"I would hope that our leaders in Washington, D.C., understand we like to be a dominant superpower," the former Alaska governor said.
It would be news if our former vice-presidential candidate took the time to contribute something to our public discourse and hence to the welfare of the country she professes to love. That she persists in uttering this kind of vapid, destructive tripe is not, however -- whatever Nutsmax.com might care to pretend -- news: it is just more noise.

Very much like Paris Hilton, in fact . . . except that, when Hilton comes out with some piece of airhead nonsense, the media (aside from the celeb/gossip tabloids) pay no heed. The Nutsmax report was based on an Associated Press original, fer gawd's sake.
