Allow me to suggest a new campaign ad:
McCain & Palin...
Do we really need another retarded child in the White House?
Save your hyperventilating comments. I just had to get that little gem off my chest. Again, I think it's a valid issue - I'm sure crying kids were just adorable in the Alaska statehouse, but I'm not sure America wants its vice-president (and very likely president) distracted by a mentally disabled baby. I'm not sure we need the vice-president guilting America into overturning Roe vs. Wade by trotting out little Trig in his helmet while the White House staff pretends that the White House hasn't been turned into one big March of Dimes telethon/daycare center.
Okay, I'll drop that issue for a while...I promise.
Let's talk about sex...
Ms. Palin made a play for HIllary's supporters yesterday, praising Hillary and Geraldine Ferraro for their past accomplishments, as if Palin doesn't disagree with everything they stand for. The crowd in the auditorium cheered these words, as if they don't hate HIllary with every ounce of themselves. So let me get this straight...the Republican party is suddenly into diversity for the sake of diversity? Conservative voters are suddenly interested in cracking that glass ceiling now that Ms. Palin is on their ticket?
Bullshit, I say. Republicans - men and women alike - have never given a shit about that glass ceiling. Women should be home popping out babies and scrubbing underwear stains, as far as they're concerned. Please don't pretend that you're suddenly a party of feminists determined to break barriers. Sarah Palin is not ready to break those barriers. She's a peppy little soccer mom from Fuckshit, Alaska who made something of herself in a state whose total population is only a little larger than that of the city of Baltimore. Let's have her debate Hillary Clinton, just to contrast and compare their grasp of the issues and knowledge of the world outside Alaska.
Speaking of debates, the Obama campaign should immediately demand more than one vice-presidential debate. After all, we barely know Sarah Palin. America needs a chance to learn a lot about her in a very short time. What better way to shed some light on her views and personality than a handful of debates with Joe Biden?
Finally, everyone is comparing Sarah's selection to the nomination of Dan Quayle in 1988. To me, this feels more like the Harriet Miers debacle. The problem with Harriet Miers was not her relative anonymity, it was her lack of intellectual credibility. She was a lightweight being nominated to a job reserved for the very brightest because of her ideological positions and pliability. I'm sure Sarah Palin is a very nice lady, and I'm sure many Americans will like her...as a person. I hope, however, that they will see that she is clearly not ready for this job. She is being used by a desperate and cynical old man for her lack of a penis. Thanks, but no thanks, John.
