“Oh, I think they’re just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying you know what? It’s time that a normal Joe six-pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency, and I think that that’s kind of taken some people off guard, and they’re out of sorts, and they’re ticked off about it.”
Ticked off? Oh shut the hell up. We’re in two wars, with a third in nuclear Pakistan or possibly-nuclear Iran on the way. We have the worst economic crisis since the Depression. Foreign nations buying up our sovereignty — on sale. We have a climate crisis. An energy crisis. A health care crisis. A Medicare crisis. And she’s now pitching herself as “Joe Goddamn Six-Pack”?
The presidency and vice presidency are positions of enormous historical and global importance, requiring the very best America has to offer — especially now. By suggesting that just anyone can do it not only insults and diminishes the office, but it also insults and diminishes her.
Of course she doesn’t know or understand what she’s saying, so she doesn’t realize that in suggesting that just any doof can be vice president, she’s not only saying that she herself is a doof but, most importantly, she can be replaced by any doof yanked by the mullet out of any random trailer park.
Sarah Palin has said a lot of freakishly stupid things lately, but to any patriot or student of American politics, this could be one of the most offensively ridiculous.
