Palin

A common idiot (usually female) who runs for high political office in early 21st-Century America. A "Palin" often looks like a deer caught in headlights, and rarely answers questions in anything but a moronic fashion. Also resorts to pseudo-patriotic rhetoric and frequently slanders her opponents based on racial and ethnic stereotypes.

Have you seen this Palin running for VP? What an idiot!
