It's no surprise by now that Senator John McCain chose Sarah Palin exclusively, disrespectfully, and foolishly for her gender and her gender alone. Crys of sexism can now take a backseat to my correctness, because she has had several weeks to disprove what all of us were already thinking, and she has completely botched it.
For weeks, day after day, Sarah Palin has said absolutely nothing. And then repeated it.
These are the things that Sarah Palin has said on the campaign trail in every single city she has visited:
-I told Congress "Thanks but no thanks" on the Bridge to Nowhere (1)
-I sold the governor's plane on eBay (2)
-I'm a pitbull that wears lipstick (3)
-I went up against the Good Ol' Boys network in Alaska
-I took a voluntary paycut (4)
(1) Since revealed that she was a strong supporter of the plan until it became wildly unpopular and was deemed unfeasible. But she continues to say this line.
(2) Plane not sold on eBay. Sold through private broker at a loss to the state.
(3) References to lipstick by anybody but herself will be violently lashed out upon.
(4) As with most Republicans, a paycut actually means a decrease in an increase. Her pay went from $65,000 to $64,000, and then three months later shot up to $68,000. It should be noted that as a Governor making less than $70,000/year, Barack Obama's tax plan would benefit her more than McCain's.
So, next time you want to relax, just turn on the extremely limited access to Sarah Palin's interviews and enjoy the white noise that is her position on any subject.
