'nuff said.
If one is willing to equate the silly with the substantive, that would be true. However, a verbal or syllabic gaff is hardly equivalent to substantive errors (repeated errors on several topics, I might add) when someone speaks at great length from a prepared text (or extemporaneously, for that matter) about a topic on which they obviously know very little.
I don't know if it's ignorance or just plain stupidity, but it's disturbing that someone with so little knowledge of our history feels that she is qualified to serve in a leadership role of ANY kind in our gov't.
But there's something more disturbing on a fundamental level beyond the embarrassment of her repeated mistakes. Generally, people learn at a very young age that there is a significant difference between believing something and knowing something. After all, it IS possible to believe something that isn't actually (or factually) true. I don't get the sense that Bachmann is intellectually capable of questioning her own beliefs. Rather, I get the impression that Bachmann equates believing something with knowing something. That's the way a child thinks.
IF she had only written the correct info on her hand....it would have been ok.
I guess it's possible to learn something from Sarah Palin, after all. Who knew?
