OK, feeling like a “grumpy old guy” myself last night. I decided, “Hey! Watching TV ‘news’ (a rare event for me) can’t make things any worse, can it?”
Well, surprise, surprise, surprise. Sarah Palin was on MSNBC with some Mass Media Podpeople Chicky, and Palin knocked me for a loop. The Q&A went something like this:
Mass Media Podpeople Chicky: “*Blah, blah blah blah?*”
Palin: “*Rapid-fire, on target, forceful, clear, sensible answer without a buncha meaningless buzz words*”
Lather, rinse, repeat.
No bullshit! I was stunned. A politician talking w/o bullshit? Look for the apocalypse.
The very first substantive political speaking I’ve heard since Fred Thompson left the race.
So, curmudgeon-who-hates-politicians in general or not; sour taste in mouth from Juan Mexicain’s disgusting support for alien invasion of the U.S.–I’ll vote for Palin–oh, and whatsisname–come November. Heck, this is the frirst politician I’ve heard talking sense without a lot of hemming and hawing and stumblebum “Uhs” and “Ums” in years. That alone is worth something. Forget a Palin/Biden “debate”. I wanna see a Palin/Obamassiah debate. If last night’s MSNBC interview is any indication, she’d clean his clock, put him back on the shelf and not even break a sweat.
I’m shocked, shocked I say! that Juan Mexicain could have the balls/intelligence to choose to run as a veep someone who seems to so easily outshine him. Maybe he has some virtues after all.
Maybe.
So, with due credit to Beldar for being the source (for me, at least) for the image,
BTW, Palin does need to stress more the national security effects of energy dependence on foreign oil, jobs creation and economic benefits to the lower 48, though she did allude to those aspects of energy independence in outlining the need for more domestic production during a transition energy economy. Nicely done.

David,
How is it like minds think alike . . . . . . on occasion? 😉
The following is something I put together for a “local” message board. Was also preping it for obnoxious e-mail distribution. 🙂
Prior to posting, decided to check-in W/ TWC. Alas, this is whut yu git!
Boys ‘n Girls,
I’d pretty much taken a decision to vote for Bob Barr!
Alas, the McCainiac may have recovered my vote.
I still will not vote for him. Character & integrity are not his strong suits. He still HAS NOT been honest with the American people for the “reason” for his torture. (He made an agreement with the NVA, then reneged!)
However, I do intend to vote for Palin — in hopes McCain don’t survive the four years. 😉
As a male chauvinist [Grady on “Sanford & Son” thought the word(s) meant “male chinese pig.”], for years we’ve accused the milder sex of voting for the most physically attractive male — no concern what-so-ever about mental process, beliefs, etc.
Well . . . I’ve decided to follow the lead of all them females. I now plan to vote for the Palin-McCain ticket. Darn, she’s a good looking piece of eye candy.
PLUS: 1. NRA (life member ?) 2. Young & very physically attractive. 3. PRO-LIFE (apparently also, ANTI- abortion!) 4. Apparently will be here when McCain croaks from next mela-noma event. 5. FAR, FAR More “executive” experience than Obamamessiah & “brain dead” Biden* combined!
* Check out Biden’s medical/mental history! [2 anuerisms + another mental health problem (?) that caused a political race difficulty.]

Yes, I know I’m offending some of you “brain dead” “Dimocraps.” Oh Hell, am I now being redundant? Did I actually use the terms “brain dead” & “Dimocrap” in the same sentence?
VOTE *”Palin”* come Nov. 4, ’08!
I was WOWed as well. 😉
