It's only a stupid question because it's yet another example she didn't know the answer.

Thomas Jefferson was well read, Sarah Palin is not.


And where should she get her information?

She's not expected to know EVERYTHING someone might ask her. I wouldn't expect a journalist to ask her for the molecular weight of magnesium, for example, nor would I expect Palin to know it. I don't know it, myself....and it would be a stupid thing to expect a politician to know offhand.

However, things like Supreme Court decisions? Or which newspapers/newsmagazines she reads? You bet I expect - and so should journalists - anyone who's applying for the second-highest job in the land (and a heartbeat away from the very highest) to have some background and thoughts on. Absolutely. There's a difference between the poles of "she should be expected to know everything" and "she shouldn't be expected to know anything," and the dividing line between "should" and "shouldn't" can be roughly estimated to fall along the answer to the question of relevance for the job she's applying for.
