Haley Barbour, doing his best Buford Pusser to show possible voters he's as dumb as they are (as Baby Jesus, Jesus' lovable, scrappy sidekick, says, "book-learning is for fucking queers!"), says of Sarah Palin:

Hmm. What's that cost, a book of matches?  Yes, it might take the ENTIRE book of matches and a coupla singles to catch fire, but still, not an impressive amount of money. 

But stupid people like to be pandered to, so I'm sure they're eating it up with a spoon.
