Sarah Palin believes that media criticism of what she says in public is an abridgement of her constitutional rights under the First Amendment.  No, really:

In a conservative radio interview that aired in Washington, D.C. Friday morning, Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin said she fears her First Amendment rights may be threatened by “attacks” from reporters who suggest she is engaging in a negative campaign against Barack Obama.

Palin told WMAL-AM that her criticism of Obama’s associations, like those with 1960s radical Bill Ayers and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, should not be considered negative attacks. Rather, for reporters or columnists to suggest that it is going negative may constitute an attack that threatens a candidate’s free speech rights under the Constitution, Palin said.

“If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations,” Palin told host Chris Plante, “then I don’t know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media.”

We keep hearing Republican flacks proclaiming that she is a “quick study” and actually quite sharp.

Uh, no.  She’s a friggin’ imbecile who is not only unfit to be Vice President, but unfit to be Governor of Alaska and unfit to be mayor of Wasilla.  School board member I could see — I’ve met a lot of imbeciles on school boards.
