It took me three attempts to watch this completely through, because I felt like it would make me a better person or some shit, but no. It just makes my brain hurt. This is the sort of thing that makes me want to lose myself in a bottle. Goddamn.
The other day in the car, my bf and I were brainstorming what to get his mother for Christmas. I said what she really wanted - but would never ask her liberal sons for - is a copy of this book.
He nearly did one of those angry parent moves: Swerving across three lanes of traffic to squeal to a stop by the side of the road, gravel flying, and say "I'm turning this car around and we're going home RIGHT NOW!"
This is how much he hates Palin: He will not make his mother happy for Christmas if it means giving this political prom princess a red cent. I love a man with principles.
It was a good interview. The only question is: will anyone actually learn from this? If you're a Republican strategist, you're probably quaking, because while Sarah Palin's personality is winning converts to the party, her lack of tangible policies and plans is going to be hard to sell to the middle-of-the-road Americans that must be courted for a candidate to win. If you're a Democratic strategist, you may be laughing to yourself at how "simple-minded" her followers seem, and that would be a mistake, because if the Reverend Jim Jones showed us anything, its that if you get people to believe in you, whether or not what you say makes sense, they will drink the Kool-Aid.
@SomeAuthorGirl: Compromise is for people who are WRONG. And we can't compromise with polar bears. We need to drill for oil, but not just oil. We also need to drill for gas.
Auntrypranureal. She was my favorite. I like that after she said "auntrypranureal" you could see her brain go "ABORT MISSION... ABORT MISSION, say conducive, then run away!!!
@Triana Orpheus: Hey, she's from Ohio, she doesn't have an excuse! :) I think she didn't have a clue what she was talking about, and had to give it a few tries, then gave up.
@DearJamie: I'm from Indiana, I'm hip to the special midwestern accents :) It wasn't so much how she said it, it was the fact that she had no clue what she was saying. That's why she had to say it 3 times. I'm knocking the Ohio accent, I'm knocking crazy Sarah Palin supporters.
You can spend your life educating yourself, becoming a decent human being with a conscience who makes an informed choice...and your vote is worth no more than the vote of each one of these individuals. Depressing thought for the day.
@heykoukla: You just had to, didn't you? Damn, it's only Monday. You could have spared us at least til later in the week when we're full of stuffing and turkey to blunt the impact.
@Maritsa: "It's a real shame, ain't it, that all that time you spend in real careful considerin' don't count for nothin', once my vote runs y'all's right off the road. "
Wow. I think we should make "Sarah Palin Book Buyers" an Olympic Sport. Categories for "Longest Vacant Stare", "Biggest Misunderstanding of World Events", "Misuse of Your & You're", and "Most Likely to be Found in a White Sheet on the Weekend."
@badmutha: To be fair, I'm pretty sure some of these people think that Cap'n Trade is a cereal. And to be fair, it does still tear up the roof of my mouth, no matter how many times they change the packaging.

Hi, Sarah Palin supporters: This is why the intellectual elite look down on you. To quote Jon Stewart, it's all the... NOTHING.

To be honest, I also think she probably just didn't know how to say it.

Perhaps that will come at Lou Dobbs' book signing. #hey-o #hereallweek
