So many people think that Palin is honest, forthright, principled and courageous.
She’s a nice girl with pretty good values who got in way over her head. She’s not built to play at this level and you people who keep trying to make her do it, from her publicists to her political acolytes and fanboys, are going to ruin her life.
Palin’s interviews with Katie and Charlie wouldn’t have been disasters had she been forthright, principled and courageous. Instead, she was befuddled, desperately looking for her next line, and scared essless of going off-message. That’s not because she’s not a great girl but because she was trying desperately to do the right thing and didn’t know what the right thing was. In. Over. Her. Head.
I really like Sarah. I voted for her for President. I wrote her in as the only one on the ballot who didn’t sign on to the Bush bailouts. But she didn’t stand up on her hind legs and denounce the bailouts either. I voted for her because I could tell she was pissed off about it. She wore that ess-eating grin while McCain, Obama and Biden shilled and whored.
Lots of people are decent and moral living their everyday lives. When you get some power and prestige, it gets harder. The more p&p you get, the harder it gets. (Give Obama some sympathy here, he’s also a decent guy in over his head.)
Sarah’s a product now. Don’t be one of the a-holes who buys it. Send her back home to her husband and her kids. Don’t turn her into the Republican Fergie.
