"Yes I would vote for Palin, she knows what its like to be a Mom"
........
Maybe I haven't really understood whats happening in America. I thought you were having an election about who you want to run your country, not who you think will bake the nicest cookies. Does that mean Old Ma' ByJingo should run for Prime Minister over here in the United kingdom? My Mum makes f#cking amazing homemade soup, but her grasp of geo-politics is a bit on the limited side. She'd tell the Israelis and Palestinians to "Shut up and behave or there won't be any pudding."
Now look, what I'm about to say might sound a little bit sexist but Sarah Palin is a beauty queen and sports reporter who fluked her way into small town politics and is now on the verge of becoming the President of the United States. No thats not a typo, John McCains medical record doesn't fill me with confidence. I'm not going to argue about her policies, thats a matter of personal opinion, I'm more concerned with her ability to do the job.
Remember when George said, ""To the C students, I say, 'You too can be president of the United States.'" Well Palin is the zenith of this idiocy, somehow it has become a positive thing for your public perception that, while running for an office that gives you control over a huge nuclear arsenal, you come across as a regular person, the kind of person who lives next door, you meet in church, who didn't do too great in school just like George.
Elitism is a word that gets thrown about a lot, well you know what? If I'm choosing who I'm putting in charge of a country in this frighteningly complex world I want the smartest motherf#cker in the room. I want a dude (or dudette) who can speak 20 languages, has 5 Phd's and builds perpetual motion machines in his (or her) spare time. I don't want a C student.
If I'm getting on a plane I want an elite pilot. I don't want a shitty pilot who is really nice to his mum and is a great laugh with a few beers in him. If I'm going to a prostitute I want a £1000 per hour bitch super-whore who sucks like a black hole and not an old lazy skank with a heart of gold. In every walk of life you want to be served by the best you can get except in politics. Why?
Palin seems to think that confidence is the same as being fit for purpose. (I'm paraphrasing) "Well gee, I might not have any knowledge of economics, global politics (she didn't have a passport until last year and ludicrously claimed that Alaska's geographic proximity to Russia gives her some trenchant insight),environmental science or any of that stuff, but when God gives me a challenge I take it." I don't know sh#t about deactivating bombs and I wouldn't try doing that armed with only a can-do attitude and faith in the lord.
This lowest common denominator politics is going to leave us all with a massive stupidity hangover and if we don't put a stop to it soon there isn't going to be anyone smart enough to fix the mess we'll be in. A small minded fool like Palin should be a joke candidate, and I guess she is.
The jokes on us. Well I'm not f#cking laughing!
