Why did you have to open your mouth? Now you're all Ricky Henderson to me; fun to watch but cringe-inducing to listen to. Embarrassing and sad. It's not (just) the tone of your voice (which is problematic enough), it's the words you read. Couldn’t somebody with a better voice and command of English have just read a speech for her, offstage, the way the Chinese did at the Olympics? Here's a handy guide to Palinguage just in case (Vol. 1, courtesy of Elite Liberal NPR via Dan via Donna): [clicky]
Her speech, let's see: same old partisan, fear-mongering bullshit. Oh save us, John "No Change" McCain! Oh, John McCain, my hero. He's survived a prison camp, you know. As Cass noted via post-speech email:
"This guys [McCain] a freak, dude. How exactly did you become a POW Mr. McCain? Oh that's right you were bombing the living hell out of the Vietnamese. In a war that was later labeled the greatest quagmire of our century."Indeed. Not only that but you have to be a LOSER. You got shot down. You got captured. You got taken to prison. And tortured. In a jungle. For five years. That's how you got to be a POW. And our Great American proverbial bar for "hero" is so low that you believe that you get to be President of the United States of America solely because you didn't die and you came home crippled and you divorced your then crippled wife, Carol, because she wasn't hot anymore and Cindy was...rich as hell. Wow! And your next beauty queen Vice President's biggest feat is she sold something on eBay. In Alaska. And took her kid to hockey. God bless America.
Or maybe it was that Keating thing that made John Sidney "No Change" a Maverick Hero POW Straight Talking Senator God.
Oh, poor victimized Republicans. All in need of change in Washington--to a conservative city. All the "we've too long brought knives to gun fights." Uh, 'cept the Republicans have been in the White House 20 of the past 28 years. Oh [baby voice here], the big bad liberal elite media is being mean to us. Mourning in America.
Also, Cass expands on Dave's prediction (and my one-line embellishment):
"That's scary brilliant. Osama by the end of September (talk about an October Surprise!) That would be un-fuck-ing-fathom-able. Palin hog-ties Bin Laden, shaves his beard and drags him onto the floor of Congress. Holding a rifle with her baby strapped to her back (in camo and face paint)."Which is all fine because now John "No Change" is now for torture after he was against it for so long (because he was heroically tortured).
Palin guts Bin Laden like a bull moose right there in House chambers and asks, "How's that for community organizing?" Todd rides in on a snowmobile, drunk and pissing his pants. To wild bi-partisan cheers.
But the liberal elite news media is picking on poor Sarah Palin. Here's Gwen Ifill from Communist PBS last night:
"It was amazing the amount of pent up energy that was present in anticipation of Palin's speech and when she came out it exploded all over the hall!"Again, Cass: "It kinda sounded like a really cheap: MILFs in Glasses...from Alaska...and horny as hell.
I do not support the Democrats but, hell, look at the alternative. What a joke.
