Can this dumbbell say anything intelligent???

Sarah Palin says she sometimes gets "depressed" when reporters actually do their job and talk about her qualifications.

She then goes on to make a comment that is psychotically inane:

Palin also made a point of mentioning that she loved to visit the "pro-America" areas of the country, of which North Carolina is one. No word on which states she views as unpatriotic.

How the hell can one state be more "patriotic" than another?

And how is someone who approvingly addressed an anti-American, pro-secessionist organization as recently as last year even remotely qualified to make that distinction???

UPDATE: Huffington Post has posted Caribou Barbie's full remarks. They're far more brainless than I had thought...

"We believe that the best of America is not all in Washington, D.C. We believe" -- here the audience interrupted Palin with applause and cheers -- "We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation. This is where we find the kindness and the goodness and the courage of everyday Americans. Those who are running our factories and teaching our kids and growing our food and are fighting our wars for us. Those who are protecting us in uniform. Those who are protecting the virtues of freedom."

In one fell swoop, she's declared that people from anywhere other than a small town:

1.) Aren't patriotic.
2.) Aren't "real" Americans.
3.) Aren't kind, good, or courageous people.
4.) Have never taught children.
5.) Have never served in the military or fought in wars.

Did I miss anything, you brain-dead popsicle of a woman?
