i guess i’m just plain thick as a brick.
it seems that the political talking heads are dumbfounded as to how to laud sarah palin.
and when words of praise are few and far between, gratuity becomes the modus operandi.
they all agree, say what you may about her knowledge of all things not alaska, she is an intelligent woman, who knows how to connect to people.
(here’s when the thick brick stuff occurs)
let’s start with, she is an intelligent woman.
based on what?
her five year, two junior college, two university stint to obtain a degree in communications.
her year as a sportscaster?
her six years as mayor of 6300 folks?
her short time as governor?
her years of mothering and spousing?
her future view of end-of-days?
her reading habits?
her stump speech?
her non-answers to questions not asked?
what evidence is there that she has the smarts to understand and resolve big problems, when winks, nods and cute folksy words just won’t cut it?
i’m waiting.
all right, what about the she knows how to communicate claim?
that may be true, which is why i’m at a loss to understand why she doesn’t communicate some of that fancy learnin’ we keep hearing about there?
instead, she chooses to be the rapture whisperer, warning us of the signs from anti-christ obama for gosh sakes.
don’t get me wrong, there isn’t a person i’d rather learn to field dress a moose from, although nothin’ for nothin’, why would anyone want to dress a moose in a field, when there are so many people in need of clothing.
but i suppose that does take some educatin’ there.
and since that’s the type of intelligence everyone is hailin’ palin about, just qualify it.
otherwise, doggonnit, it’s just good ole gratuitous nice speak.
no different from sayin’ a person has a nice personality, when all we really know is that he/she is uglier than madeline albright’s impersonation of janet reno.
but then again, i’m just plain thick as a brick.
Sorry, no comments yet.
