Sarah Palin and her ilk (ahem, can we say Carrie Prejean?) represent much that is wrong with the female political voice in America today. Why is it, as I've said before, that the dumbest among us are always the most vocal? I know there are myriad brilliant women out there--but why are their voices not heard? I can think of one reason...not the only reason, but one little one: because little piggies like Sarah and Carrie are hogging the media spotlight while simultaneously bitching about being in said spotlight as if they don't chase it at every turn.UGH! The only thing that frustrates me more is people who think she had any right to run as VP to begin with, as if she had any merit of her own. I am not a Hillary Clinton fan, but to compare Sarah Palin's intelligence to Hillary Clinton's is like comparing an aerospace engineer to the fry guy at McDonald's, seriously. We should expect more of ALL of our elected officials, male and female. ONE VAGINA IS NOT AS GOOD AS ANOTHER. *On a side note: I don't think Sarah Palin even deserves to have one. Ahem, thank you.
Dear Fry Girl:
Maybe now, with your newfound free time, you'll pick up a newspaper or perhaps even try that newfangled contraption they call "the internets!"
Ah, bitterness. Who did deserve to be VP? Is Joe Biden the model for future candidates?
ReplyDeleteObviously Biden's not perfect, but he's not nearly as imperfect as Palin. And yes, bitter is right when you take into account McCain's apparent assumption of the public's inherent stupidity when he selected little miss P-dawg. He knew damn well he wasn't choosing her on her MERIT. He had his hail mary and it fell flat. The end.
ReplyDeleteOnly 52.7 percent of the voting public displayed inherent stupidity and now the entire nation is paying for it.
ReplyDeleteOnly 47.9 percent of the voting public displayed inherent stupidity in voting for George Bush in 2000, and we're STILL paying for it. I love how people act like these problems began when Obama came into office. He's no messiah, he's just a slick politician. But at least he's kept his family intact, stuck to (most of) his principles, and is of some intellect. Republicans had a long, long, long chance. For 30 years, they've had their chance. The situation we find ourselves in now was going to happen no matter what--that path was started 60 years ago. I for one am glad the other side is getting a shot, even if I don't agree with them 100 percent of the time. I would love to see the right come out with real suggestions, concrete plans for repairing this mess, but they don't. They just bitch and moan about the debt our children will shoulder. Well guess what? They helped get us there, far more than Obama or his ilk ever did.
