OOPS! THE HYPOCRITE IS CAUGHT.
Sarah Palin both frightens and angers me, so much so that I really don't trust myself to write about her. Sooner or later, I might cross my own boundaries for acceptable behavior -- even though I believe she is dangerous for our country and some say that danger-factor allows one to cross such boundaries.
Still, for today, I'll let others do most of the talking, in response to Palin's recent comments, particularly at the Tea Party Convention this week.
QUICK PAYBACK KARMA
Sometimes when you act unethically, as Palin did, you get immediate feedback/payback and you don't have to wait for a karma return. Actually, learning is much faster that way. Just saying, if you have to wait until you reincarnate in your next life, you're not going to remember. Hey, just flying through that tunnel towards the light will be enough to wipe out my memory cells.
Sadly, I haven't seen much evidence that Palin learns from her mistakes. Problem is, I believe, we just repeat the same mistakes over and over again, until we finally learn the lesson. For some it takes more than one lifetime.
Yesterday was Sarah Palin's birthday, you betcha. She turned 46.
She still looks pretty good which I gotta say is one big reason for her popularity. She's a good looking woman who flirts alot. She bats her eyes, winks a lot and is willing to show some leg -- that's a lot of fantasy fodder. Now, I understand, old white men really like this type of woman. Yes, it does sound like members of the Republican Party, including former running mate McCain.
HYPOCRISY AT TEA PARTY CONVENTION
Palin was the keynote speaker this week at the big Tea Party Convention, when some folks noticed there was some writing on her hand, crib notes. During her speech, she mocked President Obama for his use of a teleprompter. Here's the hypocrisy -- close inspection of photos of Palin during her speech reveals notes written on her left hand.Clearly visible were the words "Energy", "Tax" and "Lift American Spirits." Additionally the words "Budget cuts" appear, but the word "Budget" was crossed out.
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
Here is what some others have to say:
The Atlantic Monthly columnist Ta-Nehisi Coates, pictured left, says:
"Forgive those of us who go crazy when we see someone who was potentially a heart-beat away, reading off asinine crib notes off their hand. Frankly it's just scary."
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs mocks Palin over hand notes at a press briefing:
"I wrote a few things down...eggs, milk and bread. But I crossed out bread, just so I can make pancakes for Ethan if it snows. And then I wrote down 'hope and change,' just in case I forgot."
Jon Stewart talked about Palin's attempts to "rah rah the crowd" and put down Obama with catchy phrases like "How's that hopey-changey stuff working out for ya?" Stewart's response: "Palin believes Obama's hope and change teleprompter rhetoric is no match for mavericky note-card, hand-scribbled buzzwords."
Jimmy Kimmel's comment:
"Maybe Sarah Palin would be smarter if she had bigger hands"
Sarah, this is embarrassing to watch. You're 46 years old now. You should try and learn your lessons quicker. I realize this one's up for debate, but do you really have to be a hypocrite to be a politician? Never mind.
