Even if the Africa and towel store aren't true, does it still change the fact that Sarah Palin ranks up their with Dan Quayle in terms of air-headedness? Some of you aren't seeing the forest for the trees.
These weren't the only two stories that came out of the campaign after the election either, they are just two out of MANY. Equally damning are the ones that Palin was behaving like she was already a superstar and plotting her own political future even if it meant sacrificing the campaign. She wanted to go out and give a concession speech after McCan, but they wouldn't let her. A great deal of evidence suggest that not only was the McCain campaign having to babysit Palin because she didn't know anything about politics, but also because she was acting fairly immature, especially towards the end of the campaign.
And some of you are so convinced that these stories aren't true, and I won't force you to bring up any evidence that they aren't true, but show me evidence that Palin isn't incompetent. Some of you are equally committed to the idea that Palin is an astute politician without much evidence to support that belief.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
