Being Sarah Palin

For Mature Audiences only:

By Mature, I refer only to the age of the audience, because I'm pretty that I could go into immature college frat-boy mode in this post quite easily. Also, I wish to state for the record that I do not hate Sarah Palin. I want to bang her! (see what I mean about immature?)

Sarah Palin is an attractive woman, and acknowledging that is not sexist by the way. I wouldn't talk politics with her, and not just because we would disagree, which would probably end my chances of sex with her. I don't talk politics with my girlfriend with whom I mostly agree. Some may wonder how I know that I agree politically with my girlfriend if we don't talk about it. Very simply, life happens and we talk about things that happen and occasionally opine in the discourse.

As Keith Olbermann has often said about Governor Palin, "This woman is an idiot." Let me be clear, I do not think she is an idiot for disagreeing with me. Nor is it because she is a Conservative, a Christian, a woman, pro-life, Republican. I say she is an idiot because I believe I am simply stating a fact. This is not a matter of education, it is a matter of common sense (which really isn't all that common).

Let me present my evidence:

The link shows a clip of the Saturday Night Live version of the first Palin/Couric interview followed by the actual interview. Notice that Tina Fey's words are almost exactly the ones uttered by the former Governor. When asked about the TARP bailout, she rambles on about all sorts of topics as if after speaking long enough the question is presumed to be answered.

People fixate on the question about what she reads (and by people I mean media). Like there could be a right answer to that question. People mention her not knowing the "Bush Doctrine". I wouldn't have associated the question by Charles Gibson to the policy of preventive war. However, when she answers a question on what to do by saying that there are "common sense conservative solutions" to problems, do you get the sense that she knows what they might be?

I don't think she cares enough to learn what policy proscriptions might be good for our country. That's fine. People go crazy over her. I'm fine with that, too. But is thinking she'd be a disaster as President, is availing myself of my First Amendment right to free speech, a right she claims to hold dear, hatred?
