What Rhymes With Failin’?
October 25, 2008
Palin.
Seems like this one Alaskan governor is acting like Dan Quayle circa 1992. She is destabilizing the ticket by taking matters into her own hands. Sadly enough, this means making unscheduled visitations with the press, uncouth remarks towards the patriotism of other candidates even though McCain vowed never to do so, taking an obscene stance on polar bear extinction, and Troopergate, the never ending scandal of how this woman brought her personal life into her public job. And then there is the $150,000 wardrobe and the $22,000 hair cuts. And the borderline illegal contracts between Alaska and others.
Currently, she seems to be turning into Geraldine Quayle.
On the bright side, though, she seems to have shifted the focus away from McCain. For now, at least, McCain’s blatant flip flopping between 2000 and 2004 and then again an abrupt flip in this election year will not be the focus of any large media attention. Perhaps this is a good thing for the media to forget McCain’s issues. His anger issues, when he called his second wife a cunt in public, his already stated flip flopping on issues, the nigh 99% of veterans against him even though he himself is a vet, and his 25% probability of dying before the end of his first term, if elected, may have ended this race before the media could have cashed in on its ratings.
Some people may view this ‘bright side’ as a ‘dark side’.
