considering Sarah Palin
After talking to the gathering that was “more John Birch than John Adams“…
… Notes scribbled on hand…
… at both the “Tea Party Gathering” and the exclusive interview on Fox News — facilitated in part, I guess, because she is employeed by Fox News…
… just like Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee — two other candidates floating about the Republican presidential nomination fight…
… after making a ruckus about Rahm Emanuel’s private use of the word “retard”…
… and it doesn’t take too long to roll through the debris of her political allies on talk radio to find prominent voices using the word “retard”…
… Defend it as she shall because Limbaugh is a “satirist”…
… unlike David Letterman, when he said the same stupid joke as Jay Leno had about another member of her family…
… the daughter who is, voluntarily, a public figure, unlike the unvoluntary public figure special needs child — who’d most certainly be better off outside the spotlight…
… I suppose Don Imus counts as a “satirist” as well, asking if the Fox News interview would take place with Sarah Palin in his “lap”…
… the hand written notes defendedby Fox News as a sign of “folksiness”…
… We don’t need those fancy 4 by 5 note-cards…
… likewise, the odd politically correct “retard” reference double standard accepted…
… the actual noteworthy sound-byte coming out of Ms. Palin is the phrase “hopesy changey stuff”…
… which I take to mean that there’s a contingent of her electorate who knows what this confusing sign is getting at, and can answer it with “yes”…
… I see that the mystery of the sign has been answered. It’s “pro” Bushies. Though, the message remains that rorschach test… which, I don’t think quite works in their favor…
… Did Palin break any new ground in terms of policy?…
… waiting for Emanuel’s apology to his erstwhile political allies…
