I really do not know why, but every time I look at Sarah Palin I am reminded of the woman who is featured in the Planter’s Peanut commercial.
YOU know…the homely woman who scents herself with Planter’s peanuts and becomes magically irresistble to men?
(Gotta love that actress in the commercial, by the way. The last hike of her underwear as she walks down the street is priceless low comedy. Shakespeare would have hired her in a Stratford minute. Bet on it.)
I don’t know why, but I cannot help sensing the existence some kind of Star Trek-like Romulan cloaking device at work here. My son and I were falling off of our chairs laughing last night during the debate (Yes, I watched it. I am a sucker for comedy.), and yet here we are the next day reading article after article about how well she “handled herself.”
LORD!!!
She was a total disaster on any rational level of observation.
Read on for more.
She gaffed SO many times…I loved the one where she mixed up “Main Street” and “Wall Street” and said that the toxic mess on Main Street was having deleterious effects on Wall Street instead of vice-versa…but the best of all was when (after ludicrously suggesting that the backing of “Lieberman and Giuliani and Romney” etc. proved that McCain has bipartisan support) she then said “…but he [McCain] is the one that we need to leave [stammer stammer] lead in these next four years….”.(About 1:20:30 into the performance.)
Talk about your Freudian slips!!!
Amazingly enough, although both my son and I were is stitches at that one, I have seen little or no mention of it in the media. It’s there though. It’s even in the NYT transcript.
Google [Palin + “need to leave” + lead] on the web?
292,000 hits so far.(5:30PM EDT, 10/3/08)
Google News? Only 10 hits…all minor papers or flat transcripts except the San Francisco Bay Guardian, and THAT one is from an online contributor.
I like it though, so here it is.
Even Palin wants us to leave McCain
Gov.Sarah Palin gave the Democrats a great slogan, when she said “John McCain is the man we need to leave…I mean lead,” during tonight’s one and only vice-presidential debate. Classic.
Yup
So this woman who pronounces the word the word “nuclear” as “nucular” 14 times, calls Iraq Eyeraq and repeatedly refers to her running mate as an unbranded cow or steer (That’s the real definition of the word “maverick”. You could look it up.) is given a general pass by the major media?
And y’all wonder why I keep flogging that NEWSTRIKE!!! idea..
Duh.
Rotten from the top down and the inside out, this system.
From the top down and the inside out.
Bet on it.
Get yout head outta their media garbage can before you lose your sanity.
Later…
