Oh, You're Just Jealous

The buzz about Sarah Palin has been non-stop the past couple of days. Political blogs are alive with the sound of Republican music - lyrics such as "lifetime member of the National Rifle Association" and "a conservative, pro-life politician" and "more experience than Barack Obama" and "willing to stand up to corruption, even within her own party." She's a maverick in her own right (she's even a member of the Feminist for Life organization!), and a wonderful compliment to John McCain. The Republican ticket is solid, formidable, and the Dems are running around like chickens with their heads cut off because they're scared, and a little jealous.

Jealous, you ask? Oh, sure. Just like how my dog Sydney gets jealous when I pet my other dog River. Sydney runs over to us and head-butts River and tries to take her out. And not so much to gain the attention for herself, but to take it away from River. This is what the Dems are trying to do to Sarah Palin. They are head-butting her not so much to take the spotlight off of them (they are still on their post-convention high), but they certainly do not want it on...gasp!...a Republican (and certainly not someone as cool as Sarah Palin. Boy, I bet Hillary is just spitting nails right now. Wasn't she suppose to be staring in the new Will Smith movie I Am Feminist this year?).

If you've been keeping up with the news the past few days and reading the political news blogs, you know what I'm talking about. You'll see that liberals are grasping at straws trying to find something, anything, to catch Palin on. I'm sure you've heard the crazy talk by now: that her infant son Trig is not really her baby, but the illegitimate son of her 17 year old daughter Bristol, but...if it is really her own son, then she did not take advice from doctors to follow proper pre-natal care for the baby. Please.

Oh, and the Dems are trying to say that she has no experience. Hmmm...if by "no experience" you mean serving in elected office since 1992, then yes, she has "no experience." Hey Dems - what was YOUR chosen candidate doing in 1992? (Answer: working on his personal memoir, Dreams From My Father, which he finished up in Bali with Michelle so that he could have a "peaceful sanctuary" in which to write. Must be nice.). And while Barack was sunning himself in Bali and penning his memoir (which was originally suppose to be a book about race relations in America), Sarah Palin was serving on the Wasilla City Council, making decisions everyday that affected the lives of her constituents. There's absolutely no question who has more experience here. Keep trying, liberal lovers of Barack Obama. Keep trying to bring her down. It's actually quite amusing to see you fumbling and flailing about, trying to find dirt on Sarah Palin.

So, the next couple of months will be pretty interesting. I can't wait for the first Palin-Biden debate. And I hope that when McCain and Palin win, that Palin will decorate the VP house in a snow cabin/ski lodge/Pottery Barn kind of way. And I hope that she proudly hangs her membership certificate to the Feminists for Life organization in the foyer of the house at Number One Observatory Circle.

You know the Dems would be so jealous.
