a collection of reflections by people i have known

by petunia

i have demured, time and time again, from entering political discussion and worn my “i don’t do politics” button of ignorance for quite awhile.  i get uncomfortable in this arena and more often than not would rather take a nail gun to my eye than act as audience to any wanna-be politico’s over-enthusiasitc, spit-filled rant on just about anything.

sarah palin has changed all of this.

no,   i don’t want to state the obvious about how we need change and how the past 8 years in the white house can euphemistically be called a clusterfuck.  i don’t even want to shout obama’s name from the rooftops or extol the virtues of the democratic party.

i just want to hate sarah palin.  and keep hating sarah palin.  and then hate sarah palin some more.

and it’s so god damn easy.

it’s laughable, really.  SHE’S laughable.  a total joke -as much so as george W- but she takes herself SO SERIOUSLY.  bush knows he’s a dummy – really, i think at this point he’s kind of in on that joke.  but palin, this trifling, ludicrous hockey mom on ‘roids, thinks she can BS her way through serious questions and has NO FUCKING IDEA what she’s talking about.  she’s not humble, she’s not deserving, she’s not educated about the things that comprise the current political landscape outside the state of alaska.

robert schlesinger gets it right about 98 times more eloquently than i do over at the US news & world report.

but therein is a victory.  did you catch that?  did you observe that odd little detail, that, i, me, petunia the adament political abstainer, am reading US news & world report’s website just to feed my cracked-out, pathological disdain and loathing for this horrific, poofy-up-do’ed, bespectacled day-to-night barbie wannabe CUNT?

sarah palin, you make me care.
