Clinton is a genius. He's also a chronic womanizer and cheated on his wife (on much more than that one famous occasion over their marriage). Since when did marital fidelity have anything to do with how smart you are or how good a President you make? It's the same posters in this thread and over on the MJ thread applying their moral superiority and bent to every topic in judging people.

Palin might be the classic conservative mother. Raised a large family, has a mentally disabled child, and faces the problems that average mothers might face (teen pregnancy). That's all magnificently commendable - but she and the Republican machine trotted out this family over and over again as part of the campaign vehicle. That makes it fair game for political pundintry or parody/comedy. She makes this all worse by doing bizarre things in her political career and not making any sense at all when she speaks. When Bill Clinton says something, I listen to him because I know that he knows what he is talking about, he has the intelligence, the education, the experience, and a grasp of his audience. Sarah Palin seems often to be in her own world, unable to actually speak anything definitive or relevant about politics other than through terrible analogies to the things that she knows about in her small worldview and limited experiece in putting blame on her shortcomings on others. Just watch that youtube resignation speech video and ask yourself if this lady knows what she is talking about aside from relating everything to basketball and making herself the victim. I don't care to make any moral judgements about her, I only speak of the things that matter to me in somebody who supposedly was getting in line to be leader of the free world.
