Sure, his running mate is scum of the earth and he's proven to be pretty scummy himself, but I have a hard time seeing him besmirching the service of any American, regardless of religion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-22249843949816784442008-10-22T15:01:00.000-07:002008-10-22T15:01:00.000-07:00The $150,000 on clothes thing seems to be getting ...The $150,000 on clothes thing seems to be getting a lot of traction in the meeja, based on the number of stories I see in the online newspapers I can scan from here. I guess that's because it's a story with an emotion-level hook that people can relate to.<BR/><BR/>"Hey! I wear clothes! I have a mental conception of how much money $150,000 is. I can't concieve of spending that much on clothes. Why, that makes me angry!"<BR/><BR/>While I'm glad to see anything that would make "MILF Mooseturd 1984" look worse in the eyes of the mouth-breathing 23%ers who still support the fascist ticket, it's too bad it has to be something this trivial.<BR/><BR/>Fact is, anyone allowed to run for high political office in the U.S. is going to be part of the upper class. They're not like you and me who have to work for a living. Once chosen to be among the politically annointed, they move in rareified circles and get to do/eat/buy things we can't dream of.<BR/><BR/>I'd rather see Palin denounced for her ties to the Alaskan separatist party that aims to do what the Confederacy couldn't do -- break apart the "United" States. I'd like to see her slammed for being an apocalyptic religious wack-job who would start a nuclear war to bring Jeebus back to Earth as soon as Johnny McCaincerface finally rots away. I'd like to see her exposed for having her house built by companies that got sweetheart deals to build that hockey rink in Wasilla -- just like her mentor Ted Stevens!<BR/><BR/>There are many things I'd like to see Sarah crucified for. (Religious reference intended -- remember there were thieves on crosses on either side of Jesus.) This is a small one.<BR/><BR/>But hey, if the mud sticks, smear it! Especially when it's mud she rolled in herself.Bukko Boomerangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424677168216647964noreply@blogger.com
