I guess the jaw-droppingly dumb remark about how the Shoe Bomber happened before 9/11 distracted us from this other Rudy Giuliani whopper:
Sarah Palin is extremely popular, she's extremely articulate.
After eight years of Bush, it only makes sense that anyone who doesn't choke on their own tongue while speaking can qualify as articulate. But extremely articulate?
Wow! She spoke in English and the word "mmm-duh" wasn't randomly dropped between sentence fragments. Clearly this makes her "extremely articulate!"
Snark aside, note the context of the conversation. The vice presidency. The job she was running for. And this was her response: "...vice president will be able to be not only the position flexible, but it's gonna be those other duties as assigned by the president." Huh?
