(CNN)Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin mocked Bill Nye on Thursday, using the premier of a film that criticizes climate change scientists to call into question Nye's credentials.

"Bill Nye is as much a scientist as I am," the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee said, according to The Hill. "He's a kids' show actor, he's not a scientist."

Right...

He (Nye) studied mechanical engineering at Cornell University (where he took an astronomy class taught by Carl Sagan)^[9] and graduated with a B.S. in mechanical engineering in 1977.

After graduating from high school in 1982, Palin enrolled at the University of Hawaii at Hilo.^[25] Shortly after arriving inHawaii, Palin transferred to Hawaii Pacific University in Honolulu for a semester in the fall of 1982 and then to North Idaho College, a community college in Coeur d'Alene, for the spring and fall semesters of 1983.^[26] She enrolled at the University of Idaho in Moscow for an academic year starting in August 1984 and then attended Matanuska-Susitna College in Alaska in the fall of 1985. Palin returned to the University of Idaho in January 1986 and received her bachelor's degree incommunications with an emphasis in journalism in May 1987.^{[26][27][28][29]}

She got a BA/ maybe a BS in communications....maybe she should seek a refund on that money because they clearly taught her next to nothing.

Sarah Palin is a twit.

[Sir Wearer of Hats]

As I say to my students, if you think like a scientist, you are a scientist.

I'd say that verb usage still disqualifies Sarah.

[Grimmie]

Sarah Palin is a twit.

I do love that her degree is COMMUNICATIONS and JOURNALISM. She cannot articulate a sentence, nor can she do any actual journalistic research or reporting. She can see Russia from Alaska though...

[Podo]

Palin is a sack of ignorance that somehow gained a loose semblance of sentience and began wandering around. She's not qualified to comment on scientist qualifications.

And to think, this woman ran for the second highest office in America...absolutely terrifying.

She was supposed to be the insurance that nobody would shoot John McCain.

That pre-supposes that you think at all.

Sarah Palin is a quitter and a loser. Her family's story would make a good reality TV show. She missed her calling.

Bill Nye is an idiot. If you think about it, ALL of our teaches in school went to college too lmao, and a lot of them were pretty freakin' stupid in all seriousness. Billy Nye is a govt shill joke. Loved his show as a kid, but hearing him talk about crap on the news stations as an adult he comes off as a moron.

I checked Google Scholar. They listed three books by Bill Nye. They also listed a whole bunch of books about him and his contribution to science and science education. I also checked Sarah Palin. They listed three books by her and a whole bunch of books about her. Neither has published a peer-reviewed article, so neither passes the peer-review acid test. Whether Bill Nye is more qualified in science than Sarah Palin is almost a dead heat - except for one detail. Bill Nye's work has contributed directly to science while Sarah Palin's has not. So the winner is: Bill Nye by a nose.

I saw her on TV speak before a Trump rally. I bet she'd accept VP with Trump if he'd ask! Now that would be real scary too!

She's on the level of slime molds, then.

No, at least slime moulds have a function.

Hilarious stuff !

Sarah Palin is a twit.

As a recognised twit, I strenuously object to being likened to Sarah Palin!

That's not very fair! Sarah Palin has a function, and that is to make slime moulds appear to be intellectual giants.
