Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin. It evokes emotions on both sides of the political aisle. This is not a person that one can be apolitical about even briefly. Now at the risk of defending myself and my constitutional rights for free speech, no matter how rumor laced or even out right wrong in my statements I am, I will proceed.

She is a quitter. Sorry folks, but you can’t say I was the Governor without saying I quit and then run for President and quit in the lame duck years because you don’t like what they say about you.

Her children. She brought them out on the stage. She talked about them. She paraded them. You can’t complain about the coverage once you open the door.

Hillary Clinton. If ever a woman was vilified in the press, it was her, throughout her husband’s time as President and during her subsequent campaigns as a NY Senator and Presidential candidate. She carried herself with dignity throughout. It was what men expected of her. (Men run this political world right now.) Look where she is now.

Sarah whines. And answers every criticisms with another inane remark. My wife says it reminds her of a high school girl she knew that had to get the last word in edgewise. Annoying.

She likes to pick unusual places for political statements. While talking about something, I forget what, there was this guy in the background killing turkeys. This says a boatload or pant load about what you shouldn’t do on your next campaign stop. There is actually a good opportunity here for her to do training films for the GOP. They could some right about now. Just remember that when asked to join a parade, don’t march with the clowns.

Sarah is/will be a hypocrite. She is constant in her complaints about the media but there is a rumor (OK, Sarah, sue me!) that looks like she is going to work for them very shortly to make up the deficit she created during her half term as Governor. You may wish to have more Michael Jackson coverage after hearing her take over Hannity’s or Rush’s spot. (I just knew that if I talked long enough, I could MJ in there somehow.)

BTW, when you are running for political office, your talking points had better be acceptable in the lower 48 and not just for the folks at home. Here in suburban NH, I don’t give a rat’s ass about her being able to field dress a moose. It is not high on my priorities for abilities in political office. Turkey killing doesn’t work. Shooting wolves from an airplane doesn’t work either. Expensive.  All that gas and pollution for one or two wolves?

All the jokes have been told, the rest is just sad. She has a following based on her appeal as a woman and her good looks. Sometimes, we Americans just don’t see any farther than that.
