You've Gotta Be Fucking Kidding

I know I’m a little late on this, but 

I've had it, man.  I don't find winking charming.  I find it creepy.  Always. This Palin woman has garnered UNIMAGINABLE praise from what she would call 'The Mainstream Media' for not shitting the bed during her debate last week.  And while most acknowledge Biden's supremacy, I feel compelled to put it out there that WE WATCHED A CANDIDATE FOR EXECUTIVE OFFICE WINK AT THE CAMERA DURING HER ONLY DEBATE. Several times.

HOW STUPID ARE WE that we take this person seriously?  I understand the caveat that we underestimate this person at our peril, but I believe, long-term, that we overestimate her at our peril, too.  Because as long as we keep reducing our standards to allow for impossibly underqualified candidates for office, then those candidates will continue to have a lower and lower standard to live up to.  And few, if any, will rise above it.

I believe that Sarah Palin is the logical successor to George W. Bush.  Our expectations for intelligent, thoughtful, careful leadership have been sufficiently lowered to allow her to wink her way into the race because the people who opened the door for her think we're all idiots.  As well they should: we elected Bush twice.  We've been sufficiently inoculated against high expectation for our leadership and now someone less experienced and (unimaginably) less intelligent is being taken seriously as a candidate for high office.  The Republican leadership and McCain's campaign managers think that most Americans will be mollified by a wink and some lipstick.

I thought George Bush was bad, but this lady’s worse.  Wait’ll you see what comes down the pike in four more years. (Wink).

It's either all gonna be over very soon or it's never gonna be over. Ever. But then again, it IS the End of Days. So, either way.
