Just To Show Ya I'm An Equal Opportunity Offender

I was going to wait until after McCain made his warmongering speech tonight to just rip holy hell out of both him and Obama but I can't hold back.

I've gotta talk about Sarah Palin.

Originally, when it was announced that she had been "chosen" by John McCain (don't let anyone kid you, McCain did NOT choose Palin; the oil and gas industry did), I was going to congratulate her.

Not on being the first Republi-thug female to be a candidate for Veep.

Not for being a mother (as if that's supposed to qualify her automatically; there are plenty of more qualified mothers out there to be Veep or Prez, if this were a real democracy where people actually were allowed to vote, instead of "vote").

Rather, I was going to congratulate her for being the most irrelevant Vice-Puppetdential candidate in the history of the US.

When you're up against "The Chosen One", you're pretty much cooked, aren't you?

But then something happened.

Sarah Palin leaked all over the place.

You've read about some of it here and I'm sure you've read about it elsewhere, too.

And I ain't just talking about her daughter and the hypocrisy of her stance on abstinence when her own daughter can't keep her hands off psycho penis.

If you have no idea what I mean by the last statement, then you should check out Bristol Palin's boyfriend's website. Just look around, you might be able to find it (or not, as the GOP seems bound and determined to keep it out of site; spelling intended in order for pun to work).

Just look a couple posts below to read about the fact that Palin doesn't think rape's all that bad and women who are raped ought to have to give birth to the result. Even though the result will always be with the raped for the rest of their life, no matter what they do with the child.

I've just now come across this, thanks to Paul Street, who, in turn, links to the AP story that the following originates from:

"Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told ministry students at her former church that the United States sent troops to fight in the Iraq war on a 'task that is from God.'

"In an address last June, the Republican vice presidential candidate also urged ministry students to pray for a plan to build a $30 billion natural gas pipeline in the state, calling it 'God's will.'

"Palin asked the students to pray for the troops in Iraq, and noted that her eldest son, Track, was expected to be deployed there.

"'Our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God,' she said. 'That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God's plan.'"

This woman, in case you haven't figured it out, is fucking nuts.

God this and god that and, goddamn, someone shut her the fuck up!

If your son gets shot or blown up, is that part of god's plan, too, Governor?

Yeah, but hopefully that won't happen, right? Hopefully he'll just kill a bunch of innocent men, women and children, right? You still get into fictional heaven for that, don't you?

You know what I think god's plan is?

...

Exactly that and nothing more.

Cuz there is no god and there is no plan.

And Sarah Palin is the most irrelevant, whacked-out mental case vice-puppetdential candidate that ever lived.

And that's saying something.
