Pathetic

Palin makes Bush look like Churchill. It seems like a bad movie. Here's the thing: Bush is smart. He is. He is a bad speaker who makes brash decisions. But he is smart. He has the intellectual capacity to be president, but lacks the judgment. He has degrees from Harvard and Yale. No matter who your father is, that's still a feat. But we make fun of Bush. People say he's dumb because he isn't as charismatic as Clinton, Reagan and JFK. But we know he isn't actually dumb like someone who listens to Creed is dumb.

With that said, in comparison to the below interview with Katie Couric, Palin makes Bush's, "Is our children learning?" look like Churchill and Lincoln. "Is our children learning?" is closer to Churchill's "Never have so few given so much for many," and Lincoln's, "It is to these honored dead that we give increased devotion to the cause for which they gave their last full measure of devotion," than it is to Palin's absolute drivel. It appears that she might be certifiably dumb. Not only does she know less about every issue than the people who are interviewing her, but she knows less than the average American.

It's now easy to see which parent her baby takes after. And don't get offended. I'm not insulting the baby. It's actually a compliment. When was the last time someone said a Down Syndrome baby could be Vice President?

I was hanging out with a friend yesterday who is a "Military Republican." He was saying that there is no way he can possibly vote for McCain. He said the only way he could do it is if one day before the election, McCain had a nationally televised physical at which the doctor said, "I guarantee that John McCain will live for at least four more years." That's what it would take. Although I'm not thrilled with the prospect of a McCain presidency, it would be a step in the right direction from where we are now. But if McCain so much as catches a cold, I'm applying for a work VISA for the UK seconds after the first sneeze. Before he can even pick up a tissue, my application will be filed.





There are now reports that CBS didn't air two interview questions because their responses were "too embarrassing." The McCain-Palin campaign has admitted that one of the questions was about Supreme Court nominations. Couric asked Palin to discuss any Supreme Court cases, other than Roe vs Wade, that were important to her. According to CBS News and the campaign, she gave a blank stare and said nothing.
