More politics
Because seriously, I am in awe that everyone isn’t as floored by this as I am:
The James Fallows analysis is here.
And no, I don’t think the Obama campaign should hammer away at her in lieu of McCain. They’re right that McCain’s running for president, and therefore McCain should be the focus of their attention, but the more this woman speaks, the more I question McCain’s judgment.
Also, I am seriously offended by the number of times she worked “Islamic terrorist” into that brief clip. As I’ve said before, a terrorist is a terrorist is a terrorist is a terrorist. Who he prays to at night doesn’t really factor into the equation… or, at least, it shouldn’t.

Seriously, I’m so tired of double standards. This is a little off track as its not about terrorism… Do you ever notice that some of the most vocal people talking about Islamic fundamentalists/extremist are the Christian fundamentalists/extremists? Now I’m Christian but I so don’t put myself in the same box as those people. I imagine 99.9% of Islamic people feel the same way about Islamic extremists.
An extremist is an extremist is an extremist… they just think they’re right and the other is wrong and they all want to control what everybody does. Her comment about terrorists shows her prejudice and her hypocrisy to be honest. Maybe she likes other kinds of terrorists better?
Again sorry about the off target rant but I can’t help but be riled up about this this presidential election season. The hypocrisy is rampant.

I liked what Matt Damon said about her…that her becoming VP was like a bad Disney Movie…the hockey mom who surpasses all odds and becomes second-in-command of one of the most powerful countries in the world. (Hijinks ensue!)
What’s really sad is that there are people who will probably vote for McCain anyway.

Well, SNL tonight called hero ouot on the interview (The Bush Doctrine? You mean his world view?) It was disturbing all around, that interview. Yes, we should be looking critically at McCain, but Palin is more than just a look at McCain’s choice in Judgment… but let’s be real… she really truly COULD be our next president if McCain wins. She is deserving of just as much scrutiny as McCain in my opinion. wanna make it fair and scrutinize Biden? Go right ahead…… the comparison is fitting.

I don’t think we should question Sarah Palin when it comes to foreign policy, because she has plenty of experience. Russia is located next to Alaska, for crying out loud.
