Sarah Palin, who likes to refer to herself as “Joe Six Pack<\/a>“, is\u00a0trying to dupe us into believing she’s “an everyday, working-class American.” Palin even claims that her “Joe Six Pack” status is why “the Washington elite” don’t think she should be running for Veep.\u00a0 (Apparently it has nothing to do with her making Dan Quayle look like a genius and George Bush look coherent.)<\/p>\n

Just wondering: How many “everyday, working-class Americans” do you know who own “a single-engine plane, two boats, two personal watercraft and a half-million-dollar, custom-built home on a lake…”<\/a>?\u00a0<\/p>\n
