Gov. Palin

I really, really laughed (in my soul, where it counts) when I heard about this veep pick. It’s this tacit admission that for the GOP political office is nothing more than a spokesperson’s spot, a place for an empty suit to propagate memes from. Fuck, this woman admitted a few months ago she doesn’t even know what the VP does–look on Crooks and Liars and scroll down a bit. These people don’t want citizen control over the government to work, so they don’t put forward competent people.
It’s sad that I actually feel a bit excited that we’re probably going to have a president who’s a con-law professor; we’ve degenerated to the point where mere competence is notable and awe-inspiring.
Hehehehehe, I love the opening line of this blog post.
PS Miss you guys!
But she’s totally the hot librarian. From Alaska. The sad thing is that the average voter will totally miss that this pick was a gigantic bit of pandering and instead like her because she had a 17 year-old pregnant daughter and that makes her in touch with the part of America that is hillbilly and thinks foreign policy can be decided on the wisdom of having a pregnant teenage daughter.
I’m sold.
