The Godless, Baby-Killing Sodomite

I’ve been avoiding a discussion about Sarah Palin partly because she’s getting far too much attention from the media than she deserves , and partly because I’m still not entirely convinced that this whole thing isn’t just a dream.  John McCain, what the hell have you become?!

I thought the interview with Charlie Gibson would lay to rest a lot of my fears, but I feel like I now know even less about this hockey mom who someday may have to look into Vladmir Putin’s eyes and see his soul .  She quickly scooted away from the topics of homosexuality and abortion; while stressing for a smaller government, she never mentioned if these would be issues the states should control.  So, there weren’t a whole lot of “yes” or “no” answers here.  Actually there weren’t a whole lot of answers.  When Charlie asked about national security, Saracuda started to talk about energy.  When Charlie asked about the economy, Saracuda started to talk about smaller government.  When Charlie asked about Pakistan. . . I don’t even know what she was trying to say there.

She was obviously coached for her first interview–her first time speaking without a teleprompter for the same “good ol’ boys” speech–and fed answers beforehand, but the problem is she matched them up with the wrong questions.  And when she ad-libbed, the results were pretty disastrous.

GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state [of Alaska] give you?

PALIN: They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.

Shoot me.

The only thing I can look forward to now is how Jon will spin all this.  Until then, we have this:

Stumble It!
