rewingdangdoo to early september
Written by patty on September 26th, 2008Let’s take a look back to early September, shall we? A time when I was fresh back from vacation, still basking in the glow of all that family time, before my job chewed me up and spit me back out again. Ha, ha, work, HA! UR so funny. Thanks for the tears this week, it’s been a blast!
But I digress. Way back in those days of ignorance and margaritas, I wrote about how we should judge Sarah Palin on her positions on the issues, not based on her gender.
I still stand by the bit about not judging her because she’s a woman, and especially the part about not doubting her abilities because she’s a mom. And I still really like what I wrote about the tooth fairy, unicorns and the Lucky Charms leprechaun. Anyway.
My thinking has changed a little. I am now convinced that we shouldn’t judge her. At all. It’s sad, really. If I had a frontal lobotomy I wouldn’t want y’all judging me either. Look at the poor dear. She can’t even get the word caricature out of her perfectly Bobbi Brown’d lips. Can’t you just picture her out on her porch at night with her AK-47 waiting for Putin to invade her airspace? And I wonder how much sleep she loses over those Canadians.
I know this will irk my Couric-hating husband to no end (hi baby! I’ll be right home – gotta go resign first!), but there’s one thing this whole carica charact charade has proven: don’t fuck with Katie Couric. She’ll take you down. She’ll endearlingly tilt her head at you while she does it, and she’ll make it look like she really doesn’t want to ask you the tough question for the third time, but she’ll take you down faster than you can say thanks but no thanks to Congress about the Bridge to Nowhere sell the Governor’s jet on ebay tell Shimon Peres the Israeli flag is the only flag in your office transfer from the University of Hawaii at Hilo to Hawaii Pacific University to North Idaho College to the University of Idaho to Matanuska-Susitna College, and then back to the University of Idaho.

Wait, wait! This is satire, or saracasm, or one of those types of humor that my brain can’t process, right? You’re saying we SHOULD judge her right, bc you judged her in the third paragraph!
Here’s my judgment: I’m sure she’s a good person, but she’s in waaaaaaaaaaaaaay over her head as a vice pres candidate, much less for the actual job of vice pres, and much, MUCH less for the job of president.
It’s a horrifying thought and a sick joke that she’s up for the job, not because she’s a woman (Hillary would kick ass at all this), but because she is totally unqualified, and does not appear to have the razor sharp intelligence that Obama does to make up for any inexperience.
Obama has potential- Palin doesn’t- and McCain doesn’t, either. I am actually not following any of this political coverage bc it enrages me. It should be Obama, period. I don’t need to see a bunch of frighteningly pathetic interviews to make me even more horrified, and I don’t need to see McCain trying to BS his way through a coherent comment about the economy.

Apparently, I have completely underestimated Katie Couric.

I think the universe also knows that you shouldn’t fuck with Katie Couric’s colon, either. Because she will lay that bare on national TV as well.

P.S. My feed is all effed up. Contrary to what Comment Luv will have you believe, my last post is NOT in fact “On Hiatus.” Why do the internets trouble me so?

We saw Tina Fey as Sarah Palin last night on SNL, and it was hilarious!
Funny post. Or sad. Or both.

The embarassment of it all! What can be said for or about this poor poor little ditzy mommy?
NO ONE can tell me that they did not consider Katie Couric the more qualified candidate during that horror show of an interview.
Fergodsake, lady!! Russia???
