I never mentioned their degrees, nor their pedigree. Executive experience is no substitute for intelligence, nor is a Harvard degree. My judgment on their intelligence is based on my watching them think on their feet and respond something worthy of any substance. I am a professor. I get to grade crappy papers by students who fill their papers with BS, which just read like Palin's speeches. She is a natural politician, but an intellectually dumb one. She is good at getting elected. Once she got elected to an office and she became "an executive." No real executive in the real mind would even consider hiring her for any position of responsibility, let alone an executive position. That said, yes, I can name dozens of dumb people who were also executives. That is because they were good at playing the "game" but not good at executing. Much like Bush. As with Palin's very own "executive" experience, running up $20 mil debt for a town of 7000 population is not exactly the experience I would respect.
