As you may have seen in the sidebar, I’ve put up a campaign magnet for Sarah! and that guy she’s got sharing her ticket with her. McTigh passed one test by naming her as his running mate, and then passed the follow-up test engineered by the Obamarrhoids.
I still don’t trust him; there aren’t many Republicans I wouldn’t rather have as my president for the next four years. But he didn’t fall to his knees begging for the mainstream media to forgive him for running against O!, and that’s a plus.
My wife and I had lives last night so we didn’t watch Sarah!‘s speech before the convention, but Wizbang has the video here. I’d already read a lot of commentary on the speech (especially here) so the only line that really took me by surprise and made me laugh out loud was the one where, after the Governor’s jet went on eBay, she said she let the Governor’s Mansion’s full-time chef go, then cracked that her kids had some regrets about that move.
I’ll admit it: I underestimated her in 2006, and again in 2008. Obama is toast crumbs in the bottom of the toaster. He just doesn’t know it yet.
Update: Rachel Lucas awards the Chuck Norris Action Jeans Unique Hidden Gusset Award to her commenter JimK:
Good Lord, I so wanna vote for her. I wanna vote all over her.
Somebody hand that man a towel.
‘Nother Update:
Sarah Palin appears to be a normal American that believes normal American things. To expect anything less than a tee-total beatdown of anything Obama has done is to completely insult this country and its honorable citizenry.»
Mean Ol’ Meany
‘Nother Other Update:
Jane, they have lots of talking points:
- Obama’s party says she lacks experience;
- Biden’s party says she just reads what other people wrote;
- Kerry’s party says she flip-flopped;
- Edwards’ party says there are strange rumors about pregnancies in her family;
- Hillary’s party says she should spend more time with her kids;
- The Clintons’ party says she used inappropriate pressure to get a government employee fired; and
- Carter’s party says she’s anti-Israel.
