Small-town beauty queens

Hey Sarah, don't worry. We're all small-town beauty queens. Anybody can be, just enter the contest a few times. Your turn will come up.

RNC obviously doesn't care about actual experience, as they stuck us with Bush after some time riding the TX governor's mansion and failing famously in business.

The smart thing here is about familiarity. Where Hillary lost because we know her, and where McCain suffers from that familiarity we all have with the man he recently was, the RNC may be holding out some hope that she will occupy opposition research teams for the month of September, leaving only two months for us to catch up.

It's okay that she's got her life so under-control that Palin's ready to help control the rest of us. Carly Fiorina, also famous for her illegal spying and privacy violations at HP gave a rousing address but failed to mention the others running HP ran her out of town for the privacy practices of Bush, as applied to the HP board. I'm a little worried that the detailed report on each American human will cost a lot to maintain, but I don't believe they understand the nature of evidence enough to turn the domestic surveillance program into a jail-puttin' bureau. And Palin's not about controlling her people, so maybe she's not interested in controlling us either.

It does bother me that she derives her income from taxes in a state completely underwritten by the biggest problem of our time: the Oil Industry. Combine that with her apparent belief that the dinosaurs and primitive vegetation comprising that oil she's pumping couldn't have existed, that fossils are the tricky work of the devil, and it gets more bothersome.

But there's still a chance that McCain is playing a joke on the RNC for the shitty treatment he got at their hands when somehow the Dummy (sounds like 'dubya') got the nomination. I hope he can't be serious, because it gives me pain to learn that the admirable man has become dilute, deluded and addled enough to moderate his strong and credible MO to include the whackjob wingnut perspective he needs to become president.
