If Sarah Palin understood economics I wouldn’t trust her nearly as much, because that would mean that she had spent time reading books and thinking and stuff like that, and that would make her a pointy-headed elitist who thinks she’s better than all us Real Americans who don’t read books or think. And as everyone knows, we Real Americans are better than everybody else, particularly better than those on the east side and the west side and in Massachusetts and New York and San Francisco and Chicago and all the other big nasty cities, which aren’t really part of Real America.
