…thinks Sarah Palin is like the second coming of the Christ. Every time I look, Andrea Mitchell or Norah O’Donnell is trapped in a sea of wingnuttery explaining how Sarah Palin is a phenomenon.

But here’s the reality:

● A CBS poll conducted this month found that only 23 percent have a favorable opinion of Palin; 38 percent have an unfavorable view. Only one in four Americans wants her to run for president; two out of three don’t. One in four thinks she has the ability to be an effective president; more than 60 percent disagree. Only 43 percent of Republicans think she could be effective.

● An ABC poll, also conducted this month, found similar results: 43 percent have a favorable impression of Palin, 52 percent unfavorable. A whopping 53 percent of Americans would not even consider voting for her for president, and 60 percent don’t think she’s qualified for the job.

● A CNN poll conducted last month found that even more Americans — 71 percent — think Palin is not qualified to be president.

In other words, she’s famous — but not really that popular, except for the creepy paleoconservative middle-aged wingnut men who are in love with the bubble-headed winky talk. And I wonder how many creepy paleoconservative middle-aged wingnut men are watching MSNBC in the middle of the day.

    “A whopping 53 percent of Americans would not even consider voting for her for president, and 60 percent don’t think she’s qualified for the job.”So 7% of Americans – roughly 25 million people! – would consider voting for her even though they don’t think she’s qualified for the job? Yee.

    Any polls asking if Americans are sick and tired of hearing her name and seeing her all over their television?

    If you check in more often… yes, Andrea Mitchell is probably trying to be less partisan. But Norah O’Donnell certainly isn’t doing Palin any favors with her coverage.

    Did you guys see the clip of Andrea Mitchell when she managed to ask Palin, who was passing through the crowd, a question about the McCain staffers saying basically her book was bullshit? It was priceless. She was actually very snippy and barely broke stride giving some bullshit answer.I actually found myself feeling a little sorry for Mitchell. Maybe it’s because she’s older than Palin and deserves some professional respect. It’s really MSNBC’s fault as well for indulging in this charade. Can’t they read those polls?We hate this ignorant bitch which is why we’re all turning the channel.

    My problem with the Newsweek cover isn’t that Palin is in running shorts. It’s her FUCKING ELBOW ON THE AMERICAN FLAG.
