Then there was this nugget in that story:
Palin said she had been "annoyed" in her interviews with CBS News anchor Katie Couric and had been caught off guard when asked what newspapers and magazines she read and to name Supreme Court decisions she disagreed with — questions Palin appeared not to be able to answer.Her responses, Palin said, were "an indication of being outside that Washington elite, outside of the media elite also."
Sorry, no. Not knowing what newspaper or magazines one reads is not "an indication of being outside that Washington elite, outside of the media elite also." It is an indication that one is a fucking flyweight. She could not think of the name of a single god-damned newspaper in the entire fucking country, not a single one.
That's not an indication that that she is "not an elitist." It is, however, an indication that she is a clueless moron. Has not eight years of governance-by-idiot been enough? Has not Bush done enough damage that we need to elect an even dumber ideologue?
I'm not a member of the Washington elite, I'm just a good ole' boy from Looizianer, but I can tell ya what newspapers I read every day. (San Jose Mercury News and the Google News front page and main sections, every day).
ReplyDeleteHeard a new name for Palin today: "Chick Cheney". But I still think "Bible Spice" is probably closer to Palin -- poppy, pretty, and empty.
