Stay Classy America!
The Republican ticket, now in full panic mode over recent polls showing an ever widening gap between them and Obama/Biden, have unleashed a deluge of lies and racially coded smears. They have already seen some success, if you can call turning your rallies in to a seething, racist mob a success. Recently McCain and Palin respectively have sat by as there constituents called Obama a terrorist and chanted “Kill Him!” in reference to Bill Ayers. Or was it in reference to Obama? It’s so hard to tell!
And now comes this little gem…
Palin’s routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric’s questions for her “less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media.” At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, “Sit down, boy.”
Classy.

Who said my wife is Jewish?! OK, she is. Still, take it back! What kind of name is Wyskida anyway? Sounds Chinese to me!
This attack on the MSM is sure to turn things around for the McCain campaign. For years people like Katie Couric have gotten a free ride with the ability to ask questions during an interview. I’m just counting down the days until the McCain/Palin finally nationalizes all media and does away with pesky things like facts and opinions. I for one cannot wait until Pinkomag becomes a place for Sarah and Todd Palin to post their favorite recipes for mooseburgers.
Mmmmm… Mooseburgers.
On occasion, I get a bug up my skirt and start to give people more credit than they are probably due. There are two (possibly more) ways of thinking about the hoi polloi, I guess. One is that they are a seething mass of idiots who ought to be taken by the hand and led to wherever the best place for them is. This is the way I feel most of the time.
Sometimes, I get this creeping feeling that says “hey, people aren’t that dumb after all. There is hope for all of us.” But those times are few and far between these days. And the gap is widening. The only reason this Alaskan dame is even under consideration is that someone in the G.O.P. understands the former to be true. What other explanation is there? And worse, am I becoming a Republican? They’d probably lump me in with the latte drinking elite.
You can’t fire me, I quit! I’ll never fit in.
Well Noah, there is another way to look at this. A certified “war hero” and self described Maverick® is currently getting his ass handed to him in the polls by a latte sipping, $10 word spewing black-african black guy who is also black.
I think there is hope for American type people afterall!
mmmm latte.
I mean, of COURSE we’re latte sipping! They want us to be latte chugging?? I could burn my mouth!
Seriously, sip your lattes! Don’t try and be a hero!
