Sarah, Put On Your Big Girl Panties!
Is Big Brother always going to have to rescue little sister Sarah? Wearing big girl panties isn't working out too well for her. As a former beauty queen now stumbling in politics, Palin needs a new kind of poise -- mental poise.
During her first one-on-one interview she took a cheap shot at Charlie Gipson in an effort to divert attention away from her complete lack of knowledge about the Bush Doctrine. Anger darted from Palin's eyes and her right hand clinched. Her body language screamed. We couldn't see the knot in her stomach as it hit bottom but all of America had the opportunity to see first-hand how the now famous Mrs. First Dude looks wearing egg plastered over her face.
It was a bit of a surprise given she had almost purred her way to a standing ovation during her VP nomination acceptance speech. At the right times she had added a dash of pepper, then a pinch of salt. She tossed and mixed until she had a scrumptious delicacy which elicited anxious tasters by the hundreds.
And then, there was Charlie. What a contrast. During Gipson's interview, Palin was arrogant and out-of-touch. Her ill-delivery not only threatened the existence of continued female gender progression, she threw it in reverse and stomped on the accelerator. Perhaps to have been fair, Gipson should have asked Palin about the Santa Claus Doctrine instead. After all, Santa is her neighbor, which undoubtedly would give her tremendous insight into his doctrine via a process of geographical osmosis.
What we learned from Palin's two contradictory styles is that when she speaks her own words, she reveals a deep, empty ravine of void. When she parrots a speech written by someone knowledgeable, Palin carries herself well. Thus, we can feel safe, smug, and assured with Palin at the helm -- so long as every national and international calamity is known well in advance and a Palin groomer is handy.
Nine-Eleven.
As common as it is for a US Citizen to have a passport, Mrs. First Dude never had one. To be sure, she didn't need a passport to gaze toward Russia and apparently wasn't expecting an invitation to dine in Putin's parlor.
Not to be narrowminded, but shouldn't the United States VP have an iddy bitty bit of international travel experience before running for VP? In an attempt to overcome that vacuum, Palin, now armed with a U. S. Passport, will begin making her debut abroad. Brandishing her canned speeches and polished media releases, Palin will undoubtedly self-declare a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious outcome! With bated breath, America awaits her crowning as foreign policy queen.
“We, The People,” are interviewing Palin for an important and powerful job position. What she is able to bring to the table isn't in the VP job description. For instance, shooting a moose from the sky may qualify her for playing better video games or looking tough and like one of the guys, but it isn't going to figure a solution for the stock market, home mortgage and health care crises. (What is fair about shooting a doomed animal from a copter, anyway?)
Palin's hockey mom cheerleading skills have been valuable for McCain. She has spent a tremendous amount of her campaign time doing a McCain pom-pom dance. Of course, that avoids illustration of, or even questions about, Palin substance. The promotions that her life as a hockey mom, tiny town mayor, and governor of a State with a small population some how qualify her as our Vice-President is like tiptoeing through the tulips with Tiny Tim on that three mile road to nowhere. If you were interviewing Palin to run your personal finances, how long would it take you to give her the boot? (Spot you two minutes.)
Sarah already carries the baggage of scandal and corruption. Even if the allegations she abused her public office and tasked her husband to do her dirty deeds turn out to be untrue, a dark cloud hovers over her and the public is saddled with the cost and expense of defending her judgment.
Whether Governor Palin fired Alaska Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan because he refused to terminate sister Molly's estranged hubby; and/or because he reached for federal funds to fight sexual predators is an important issue. Further, the public needs an answer from the former Mayor about her rationale for taxing a victim with the costs of sexual assault examinations.
Troopergate needs to be explored and Palin needs to cooperate and do some 'splanin now.
