i’m not a palin apologist, i don’t really give a crap one way or the other. i didn’t vote for her, so my job is done. i do think it is funny though how people go wacky over her. she is just a doof who says stupid things. that goes for a loooot of people including people who have aspired to be president / vp, etc.
The reason people get so bent out of shape over her is that this is a woman who aspired to be Vice-President and showed absolutely no capability for the job. None. Zilch. She was nasty, venal, a race-baiter and had no difficulty trying to claim (or imply strongly) that Obama was connected to terrorists. She kept harping on his middle name (which he didn’t pick for himself).
Her thinking is shallow and misinformed on major issues. She’s a true media hog- until it works against her. She is inept, she is a religious fanatic and picking her for running mate was a slap in the face to any number of eminently qualified, capable republican women with brains who never won a beauty contest.
And she is completely delusional to think she was qualified to be VP, let alone POTUS should anything have happened to McCain.
OMG, someone in my hood has a pear tree and they’re just letting the fruit fall to the ground and rot. can i leave them a note and offer to pick the pears so they don’t have rotted fruit all over the lawn? also, i want some pears! 🙂
Very true, CG. She is not the only one that should be called out. I think that she is catching the flak partly because, as Arkady said, she continues to shove herself in front of the public eye (which isn’t necessarily a horrible thing considering that she wants to run again and needs the exposure) and because she is the media whipping boy du jour. When the media latches on to something, its hard for the public at large to let it go because that is what we are fed. And conversely, the media feeds the public what the public wants. It’s a vicious cycle that continues ad nauseum.
i kinda think the point benson was making (which has been proven actually) is that people go completely tunnel vision re: sarah palin. granted she’s kind of a doof, but there are plenty of doof politicians out there. any sort of arguments about her tend to be kind of singular though. i don’t think he was saying that she is some great politician, but more that intelligent, well-spoken people turn a bit foamy at the mouth about her. feel free to correct me if i’m wrong benson.

Bxgrl, one would think you really didn’t like her. 😉
I’m bent.
I’m out of shape.
I’m bent out of shape.
The media might stop whipping Palin if she stopped throwing her self out there in the most idiotic fashion.

Do you have a link to an article or something we can read on that?
