How can anyone be this stupid?

COURIC: Why isn’t it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries? … Instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?

PALIN: Ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up the economy– Oh, it’s got to be about job creation too. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions

This is where she’s at after weeks and weeks of coaching?

Incidentally, when you watch the video clip, Palin appears to look down at her cheatsheet before she goes “Oh, it’s got to be about job creation too.” How could she have a cheatsheet and give that answer?
