<p>When I first saw the article yesterday there were already over two hundred comments, but that&#8217;s jumped up to six hundred plus! Here are a few&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Sarah &#8211; Did it take you 44 years to get so stupid? Or were you born that way?</strong><br />
– Barbara :: North Carolina</li>
<li><strong>Hibernate until next election.</strong><br />
– V.K. Raman :: Sparks</li>
<li><strong>Why can&#8217;t you take responsibility for your inability to give a good interview and all your blunders during the campaign instead of blaming it on everyone else?</strong><br />
– Richard :: Syracuse,  New York</li>
<li><strong>I would love to ask her if she knew the name of our &#8216;Prime Minister &amp; what is the capital of our great country, Canada!!!</strong><br />
– Lois :: Ontario, Canada</li>
<li><strong>Jack, Probably something real simple like &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you just answer the questions asked of you. Even if they are stupidly off topic?&#8221; Not answering just made her look worse.</strong><br />
– Jenny :: Rome, Georgia</li>
<li><strong>Can anyone in Russia see your house?</strong><br />
– Scott :: Wichita, Kansas</li>
<li><strong>I would like to ask Sarah Palin how long she is planning on riding the wave on her 15 minutes of fame. She needs to get a grip… then go away&#8230; far away.</strong><br />
– Gina :: Racine, Wisconsin</li>
</ul>]]></content:encoded>

<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Joe the Plumber&#8217;s story sprang a few leaks Thursday. Turns out that the man who was held up by John McCain as the typical, hard-working American taxpayer isn&#8217;t really a licensed plumber.
