B!tch you crazy!!! September 16, 2008

A friend of mine recently asked if I liked Sarah Palin.  I was honestly shocked.  Apparently, because she has a has gone hunting and lived in Alaska, a “tough” woman if you will, I am supposed to be impressed with her as a political figure.  Palin has two X chromosomes.  That’s about all we share.

I am not impressed.  I’ve done manlier things than go hunting, and I sure as hell know a lot more about foreign policy than this woman.  Maybe John McCain should have given me a call.  Although, I don’t think I could stick with the Republican plan of pretending like they care about the values and beliefs of your average American in order to benefit the rich while they screw over the little guy.

Anyway, I watched this clip on one of my friend’s blogs and boy did it make me laugh.  It also got me a little pissed off.  Now the republican party is all up in arms about sexism, and criticism of a lack of experience like they weren’t doing the exact same thing to Clinton and Obama a few months ago.

My criticism of Palin has nothing to do with sexism.  She is a crackpot no matter how you look at it.  She has 5 kids, the last of which is a newborn with down syndrome.  Her 17 year old daughter got knocked up and is about to marry an 18 year old kid.  There are rumors that she fired her public safety commissioner because he wouldn’t fire her sister’s state trooper ex-husband.  She used surplus money to pay for unnecessary travel for her and her family and she knows all about Russia just because she can see it from her house.

Give me a break!!  This woman is absolutely ridiculous!!  She doesn’t believe in birth control, sex education, or abortion.  Irresponsibility as a parent and as a political leader are totally unacceptable.  And yes we do have a right to examine how this woman makes certain decisions in her private life, especially when she advocates that other Americans should make the same choices in her public one.  No birth control?  The choice that led her to have a child late in life when she should have know of the risks (likelihood of down syndrome increases with the mother’s age as well as many other birth defects).  No sex education?  Her daughter will now miss out on a period of growth and development that all teenagers should have.  Instead she’ll be married to some guy and raising a child, which will be almost four before she can even legally drink.  And the money/firing issues?  Please!  A woman who claimed to stand for political ethics has done anything but!

So essentially she is telling Americans that she wants them to let their daughters get knocked up, bear children likely to be born with birth defects (note I am not advocating for abortion here, just proper use of birth control so that pregnancy at that age is prevented), when in need of money for a vacation just steal it, and if you’re in a position of power, fire whoever may have caused problems in your personal life.

Oh yeah, that’s the kind of woman I want to hold the highest office a woman has held thus far in the American political system.  A vindictive, ditzy, hypocritical, beauty queen bitch.  Because they’re my favorite type of girl aren’t they?  But you’re right, she’s gone hunting and has lived in the woods, something I should appreciate simply because I tend to respect a woman who can kick some ass.  The only ass this woman should be kicking is her own……….

And now to bring out the comedy act.  PS. I love Tina Fey.
