CNN: “Until a week ago, only a relatively few outside Alaska knew of that state’s governor, Sarah Palin. All that is different now. To many in Palin’s hometown, the GOP vice presidential candidate’s near-iconic status is well-deserved. After all, the high school basketball star and former beauty queen rose from Wasilla City Council member to Alaska’s first female governor in less than 14 years.”

Are you serious? So being a high school basketball star and a beauty queen turns governor in 14 years is deserving of iconic status and what Barck Obama has done in near equal time isn’t? He has risen fast and furious, but he wasn’t a high school basketball star or beauty queen no, he was a community organizer for the underprivileged more than tripling its budget, the Harvard Law Review editor, then elected president of the Review, then becoming a state senator (in a state with more than 10 people - yeah, I can be a smart ass too, just like Palin) then a US senator.

As I watched the Palin acceptance speech it showed her hometown crowd via satellite. They are all cheering like she was the sister of each one of them, wait a minute, maybe she was, ha ha ha ha. Anyway, all of those people will be voting for her for the sole reason she is from their town, just like I heard that idiot in Texas say she didn’t know who to vote for because there hasn’t been a Bush, a Texan, on the ticket in years. Friggn’ morons.

The point I keep trying to make is not that one is better than the other, but these people are talking out of both sides of their mouths. Don’t sit there and gripe about something you yourself can be accused of and do it so blatantly too.

People, people, people, when will they learn?
