I was watching this video today, two young ladies from Alaska being interviewed about their thoughts on Sarah Palin. I'm not an idiot, I'm aware one can no doubt also find some big Palin fans out there explaining how much she rocks, but I thought a couple of the comments from these gals were mostly just entertaining for me. Because I'm admittedly biased, of course.
Anyway, with all of the hype about Sarah being the country's "most popular governor" in forever apparently, and a main reason why she was selected by McCain in the first place (that and also that she has the boobies, of course) when asked about the reasons she was so popular the answer from young lady number one, "It's honestly because the governor before her, Murkowski, was a corrupt slimebag ... there's no reason to think that she's a good governor because she has high popularity. Alaskans have very low standards for their politicians." I thought that was funny.
And then from young lady number two, her thoughts after pointing out the fact that Palin is simply charming and, of course, attractive (I'll even concede that hottiness position,) "She doesn't really have any sort of platform ... people love her, she stays out of their business ... but that's far from what we need for a vice president."
Finally, the part about how she's not very intelligent, not educated in government nor politics nor world affairs, and that if elected it would represent women as being ignorant and ill-prepared for whatever the job any woman might be hired to perform. I tend to agree with that.

I always cringe when I hear McCain say "she's the most popular governor." This isn't about popularity, it's about competence. Did you see TDS when Jason Jones went to Wasilla and interviewed the current mayor? It makes you think that Palin really didn't have a lot to do there. I remember in a town nearby me a teenager became mayor.
ReplyDeleteI think some people are looking at McCain's age and are thinking about her stepping in if he gets ill or something. If the VP doesn't work out she can get a gig on Faux News.
Speaking of competence, I frankly don't think she's even up to FOX News standards really. Which is pretty pathetic.
ReplyDeleteWell, like I told you months ago...my friend in Anchorage wrote me the day after the announcement and shared her embarrassment.
