So the Katie Couric interview with Sarah Palin is making the rounds and, of course, everyone talks about how she seems stupid, and is obviously not ready to be near the presidency in any shape, form, or fashion.

Um . . . after I wrote that last sentence I just realized there wasn’t really anything else fo me to say on the subject. She seems stupid and well . . . you get my point. But I’ll try to push forward anyway.

Even if there wasn’t an audible collective cry from every woman in the United States when the McCain camp pander-picked Alaska McMoosekiller over there, there still was a collective eyebrow raise. A lot of people, it seems, tried to give this pick an opportunity to show itself a wise one. The historic first Republican vice-presidential female candidate is something that a lot of people didn’t want to turn their nose up at. Ah, but alas. Now people have no choice but to turn their nose up to it because of the pure horseshit that it’s turning out to be. It’s stinking up the entire presidential race! John McCain is pulling out emergency tactics to delay the VP debates, all the while he’s at risk of seeming like he’s being an unstable coward. The McCain camp obviously thought about the possibility of that and weighed it against the field day that would be had over Palin’s folksy debating style and still decided to go all in.

When Palin talks, she has the uncertainty and wide-eyed inflections that George Bush has exhibited these past eight years. Forget her ability to act as vice president, I’m starting to second-guess whether she is really capable of acting as governer of Alaska. She believes she’s keeping an eye on Russia! It’s as if someone told her that her job there is way more important that it is and she bought it hook, line, and sinker. She thinks she’s America’s first line of defense. “If they get by Alaska, we’re all dead!” I imagine her sitting in her office with binoculars looking toward Russia. Then immediately sitting down at her desk writing in her My Little Pony “Keep America Safe” notebook.

“All good today. Couldn’t see any nuclear weapons pointed our way. Yay!”

There was a statistic that came out of the AP/Yahoo Poll on race and the Election. It stated that one third of democrats were racist and had negative feelings towards black people. Of that one third, 58 percent still stated that they would vote for Barack Obama. Do you understand what the republicans are doing here? They are scaring white people SOOOOO much that they are looking past their everyday racism and voting for a black man, simply because the alternative is too scary. Any negative feelings they have are being outweighed by the sense that the white alternative would be absolutely bonkers. I imagine that this is happening on the republican side as well. That 90 percent voting with GWB will scare anybody who’s actually paying attention.

Kudos, Sen. McCain. You seem to be bringing that change that you all of a sudden keep talking about. Thanks for bringing racists over to the Obama side.
