OK…instead of finding all of these video clips, someone has taken the time to assemble them. Good times. Seriously…there are points where it’s just really, really hard to watch and listen.

If you’re a Republican and you’re reading this…in all seriousness…please consider what you’re doing when you go to vote. This is someone who can’t even talk about her own running mate’s record of regulation. This is someone who, even more simply, cannot name ONE news source where she gets her political information. This is someone who thinks that living next to Russia makes her a consumate expert on foriegn policy.

This is a woman who could potentially be talking to all of our world leaders at any given moment.  Do you really want ‘Joe Sixpack’ talking to your world leaders?

Miss Palin is a veritable water tap of hilarity.  Now…let’s be clear. I couldn’t name a bunch of Supreme Court cases right off the top of my head and argue for/against them. However, if I were in politics…and I was seeking a position in the second highest office that this nation has to offer…then I damn well had better know in, out, up, down, left, right, through, sideways and all points inbetween of major cases.

Today I bring you this picture from my friend Ann’s photo archive on Facebook. I was scrolling through some of the pics there and found it and got a chuckle at…what…5:35 AM? Yeah, that. I thought it was appropriate, considering that I’m awake at that ridiculously awful time. I’m not sure why this is happening; it has now for the past three weeks. I’ve gone through stints like this before where I’m just all of a sudden awake.

So…why DOES god hate me?

Fortunately, what is depicted is not the case this morning. If I woke up at this ridiculous hour to find that I am no longer able to be voluntarily ensared in the Internets, I would surely suffer greatly. OK…not greatly, but I’d certainly hurt a little in my heart.

This is the best thing I think I’ve EVER seen. I’ve found new inspiration. I’m going to join this band if it’s the last thing I do.

I’m sorry…I’m really not going to turn this into a political blog, because frankly, I have no business doing so.  But dear sweet Jesus…

Since seeing the Katie Couric interview with Sarah Palin, I have to say that I am GENUINELY scared that this woman could very realistically be the President of the United States. I mean…come on…Johnny Mac is 72 freakin’ years old. He looks a tiny bit on the frail side. He could keel over at any second, right?

<—–and then we’re left with her.

The Katie Couric interview was probably one of the most stunning displays of non-graceful speaking I think I’ve seen in quite some time. I have nothing against Sarah Palin…but let’s be honest. She is absolutely not ready for what she’s being considered for.

There are two things I’d like to point out…

1. I keep reading these articles citing younger ‘blue collar’ females as being those who are supporting Palin.  And the reason why they like her so much is because ‘they can associate with her’ and they ‘feel like she connects with them’ and ’she’s a normal person’. Let’s be really frank. The President/VP are not…should not be…normal people. I don’t want everyday Joe Schmoe running the country I live in…especially at this particular time. We’re talking about needing a person who undestands how to bring the world back around to seeing us as a country NOT full of idiots. We’re talking about needing a person who can guide us through a potential economical disaster. We’re NOT talking about a person who answers a question about the bailout in the following way:

“But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy, helping the — oh, it’s got to be all about job creation, too, shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track.“So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans. And trade, we’ve got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, um, scary thing. But one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today, we’ve got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is part of that.”

Huh?

2. The real disgrace, the real slap-in-the-face here is that I’m now starting to read articles about how the J.Mack campaign is talking to the debate organizers about ‘going easy’ on Sarah Palin.

…

GO EASY ON HER??!?  Seriously!??!?!

J.Mack: “Hey there, Kim Jong-il. How are you doing today? Oh yeah? Killing your citizens? Building some nukes? Rocking some serious oppression? Eating a little ox tail stew or a tasty bowl of dolsot be bim bop? Good…good. Hey listen. Sarah is coming over on a red-eye and she’s had ‘one of those weeks’ *slight chuckle*.  I know you guys are going to have a real good time and hit it off well, but I was wondering if you could, you know, not be such a hard-ass and be nice to her. She’s kind of new to this whole crazy “foreign policy” thing, this whole wacky diplomacy deal, and she just needs a little break. So if you could cut her a little slack, that’d be great…. “

If Sarah Palin needs to have the campaign call up before a major debate where she will be a center of attention and tell those running this debate to ‘go easy’…do you really think that this gives people an accurate summation of what they could be getting? If a person needs to be ‘gone easy on’ in a debate, then how can this person be expected to run an entire country?

I can only hope that Joe Biden knows how to play the cards in this one. Nobody like stand by and watch the ‘little guy’ take a beatdown. Such is the case here. Joe Biden needs to go in, answer the questions, and come off as gracious and straight forward as Obama did in the debate last Friday night. He needn’t take the time to try and slam Sarah Palin because, honestly, she’ll do a fine job herself if the past couple of days of her spotlight are any indication of what’s to come.
