Best line: "I always wanted a son named Zamboni," she said.

Palin says she considers herself intellectual

The Associated Press
Wednesday, October 22, 2008; 12:47 PM

NEW YORK -- Does vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin consider herself intellectual? You betcha!

"And you have to be up on not only current events, but you have to understand the foundation of the issues that you're working on," Palin said in an interview with People magazine. "You can't just go on what is presented you."

Although Palin didn't name a single newspaper or magazine when CBS News anchor Katie Couric asked where she got her information, the Alaska governor told People that she has always been a "voracious reader" and named reading _ anything from biographies to historical works _ as her favorite thing along with her children and sports.

Besides author Lawrence Wright's terrorism history, "The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11," Palin said she's reading a lot of briefing papers.

"I appreciate a lot of information. I think that comes from growing up in a family of school teachers," she said.

Palin said if she and husband Todd had had a sixth child, they had already picked a name for a boy joining siblings Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig.

"I always wanted a son named Zamboni," she said.

The magazine will be on newsstands Friday.

This reminds me of the scene in "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" when Alice tells her son she wants to look sexy.

Sexy for Phoenix anyway.

Sarah's intellectual...for Wasilla anyway.

Yes, and I consider myself "young and sexy."

I think; therefore, I am. Just like Sarah. re: Coming to People Mag Friday: PALIN CONSIDERS HERSELF INTELLECTUAL

The new New Yorker has a fascinating piece about Sarah's campaign to be Vice President. She hosted a couple big parties for major conservative thinkers where she relentlessly sucked up and brown nosed them. Apparently she reads the National Review and Weekly Standard.

What is it 2 months after her appointment and we still have to rely on the National Enquirer for information about this woman?

It boggles my mind this woman can't even get fluff pieces right.

That kind of reminds me of a line from the first season of Weeds. "You are not gonna call any Grandbaby of mine Tsunami!"

Like Joan Cusack's line in WORKING GIRL: "Sometimes I dance around the house in my underwear. Doesn't make me Madonna."

Maybe compared to all the other folks of Alaska- she is an intellectual- ha! I'm sure she was once again using her sarcastic humor when she said she wanted to name her kid Zamboni. Someone needs to tell her to stop trying to be so "cute" because people are now taking her more "seriously".

Maybe she can force, I mean, ask Bristol to name the new baby "Zamboni." Zamboni Johnson sounds like a cool jazz musician, doesn't it? Not many of those from Alaska. The world could really use one.

Huh, since she's a hockey mom, I always asumed the next name on her wish list was:

Puck.

Oh, Auggie, don't be silly. "Puck" is positively Shakespearean! You know Shakespeare...that guy all the elites like.

This is eerie. As a child, I used to say I wanted to name a child Zamboni...

Then again, I was also partial to the name 'Unicorn.'

Sadly, no. My username comes from another name I was partial to, "Schmergo." As far as I know, that's not a real name... I used to write adventure stories about mad scientist/wizard named Dr. Unicorn Bathroom.

As a child, I was even stranger than I am now, if you can believe that.
