Sarah in 2012.

**
"She then slammed Barack Obama calling him disqualified to be President of the United States, 'Some of his comments that he has made about the war that I think may — in my world– disqualifies someone from consideration as the next commander in chief.' Palin said, 'Some of his comments about Afghanistan and what we are doing there supposedly– just air raiding villages and killing civilians. That’s reckless. So I wanted to talk about things like that. So I guess I have to apologize about being a little annoyed, but that is also an indication of being outside that Washington elite and being outside the media elite also and just wanting to talk and just wanting to talk to Americans without the filter and let them know what we stand for.”



That was an article about the beauty queen, talking to the propaganda arm of her party, also known as FOX NEWS, about his O ness. She thinks he is disqualified from consideration for being commander in chief? Are you fucking kidding me? A woman who went to six colleges in six years? And a person who is so fucking dumb that she can't name one supreme court decision she disagrees with, or name a magazine that she likes to read? She is calling for someone to be disqualified for the post of commander in chief? But hey, at least she has a nice wink, and her calves do look nice in those heels, I guess that qualifies her for the post of Vice President. At least to quite a few of our fellow citizens, whose idea of an intellectual genius is Alex Trebek.



"I would have. But here, again, there have -- there have been so many changes in the conditions of our economy in just even these past weeks that there has been more and more revelation made aware now to Americans about the corruption and the greed on Wall Street.
We need to look back, even two years ago, and we need to be appreciative of John McCain's call for reform with Fannie Mae, with Freddie Mac, with the mortgage-lenders, too, who were starting to really kind of rear that head of abuse.


And the colleagues in the Senate weren't going to go there with him. So we have John McCain to thank for at least warning people. And we also have John McCain to thank for bringing in a bipartisan effort people to the table so that we can start putting politics aside, even putting a campaign aside, and just do what's right to fix this economic problem that we are in.
It is a crisis. It's a toxic mess, really, on Main Street that's affecting Wall Street. And now we have to be ever vigilant and also making sure that credit markets don't seize up. That's where the Main Streeters like me, that's where we would really feel the effects."


Huh? Come again Sarah? 69.9 million watched her say that shit on television, and we are not all in the streets demanding that she quits the race. We get what we deserve.



I heard a very well respected republican here in Philly say that if Obama wins, Sarah Palin will be the GOP front runner for president in 2012. In fact, he says that even if McCain wins, Sarah will be set up for a legitimate run for the presidency when President McCain decides not to run again. Can you imagine? The future of the republican party is Sarah freaking Palin.



"I do take issue with some of the principle there with that redistribution of wealth principle that seems to be espoused by you. But when you talk about Barack's plan to tax increase affecting only those making $250,000 a year or more, you're forgetting millions of small businesses that are going to fit into that category. So they're going to be the ones paying higher taxes thus resulting in fewer jobs being created and less productivity.


Now you said recently that higher taxes or asking for higher taxes or paying higher taxes is patriotic. In the middle class of America which is where Todd and I have been all of our lives, that's not patriotic. Patriotic is saying, government, you know, you're not always the solution. In fact, too often you're the problem so, government, lessen the tax burden and on our families and get out of the way and let the private sector and our families grow and thrive and prosper. An increased tax formula that Barack Obama is proposing in addition to nearly a trillion dollars in new spending that he's proposing is the backwards way of trying to grow our economy."

Did you say that government should "get out of the way and let the private sector prosper"? Good, I guess they don't need government's 700 billion dollars then. Damn this woman is stupid. "Millions of small business people give themselves a salary of $250,000.00"? Hmmm, I must be living in a different country. The problem is that more people might be living in your country than mine.

"What a fool believes, he sees..."


I am sitting here watching the debates from a place called...ready for this? "The Field House". How appropriate, because field Negro, Ifill, was all that tonight. She certainly acted as if-- to use a sports metaphor--, she was in her house.


Mrs. Field's three year old niece is visiting from Louisiana; and honest to god she could do a better job than Sarah Palin is doing as I write this post, tonight. Sorry, I can't sugar coat this, I am going out of my way and straining to find positives for the beauty queen, but I can't.



The beauty queen told Joe Biden that he wanted to "raise the white flag" in Iraq, but I wanted to raise the white flag for her ass. Maybe it's the trial lawyer in me. But I look for certain things when people are public speaking that other people don't. And tonight, Sarah broke all the rules: She was rushed, nervous, and her lines were all too rehearsed. Biden cried when talking about losing his family for crying out loud, and she jumped right back on her talking points without missing a beat. Talk about robotic. If there is one independent who was on the fence who will vote for Sarah after this debate, please drop a comment here in the fields; we need to hear from you. And please post a picture of yourself, because I am curious to see what a Martian looks like.


I was watching the debate on CNN, and the cameras cut to a split screen of a GOP watch party. If you have ever been to the "Linc" when the Eagles are blowing a fourth quarter lead, you will get an idea of what those GOP faithfuls looked like. It was, in a word, sad. They looked like a home town crowd watching their team get their ass kicked. It was that bad.


Okay, mercifully for Sarah, it's over. I am going to listen to the pundits now.....



Okay, listened to the pundits, and they are all saying that Sarah pretty much held her own. Over at FAKE NEWS they are having to pass out the wet wipes for all the men on the set. (Multiple orgasms will do that to you). With the exception of one or two of the talking heads (thank goodness for Rachel Madow), folks are calling it a push or slight edge to Sarah. Wow! Now I know I am out of the main stream.


They can say what they want though, tomorrow I will start my two a days at the gym (That au natural Broad Street run looks like it's on come election night). Because I know that my eyes and ears aren't lying to me, even if the pundits are.

Ambush at 5th and Market


I bet the "O" man knows what the 1st Cavalry Division at the la Drang Valley felt like after tonight's ABC debate. I mean WTF? Was it me or did it seem like little George Stephanopoulos couldn't wait to get his teeth into my boy. I mean what the hell was that all about? The first half hour was all about Reverend Wright, and the "O" man's "bitter" comments. I thought this was supposed to be a debate about the issues? Honest to god they would have been better off on the FAKE NEWS NETWORK. These two clowns were a joke. I like a tough moderator, but come on George, I know you used to work for the Clintons, but could you have at least tried to put a journalist hat on? What a fucking disgrace! I bet the little motherfucker really felt like Napoleon tonight. Affirmative action, guns, all the wedge issues to fire up certain white folks and turn them off from a certain black candidate even more. If the former first lady was a baseball player she would be the league MVP after tonight's debate with all the soft balls she had thrown her way.


Now I can see why some folks in the black media here in Philly was against these two clowns moderating the debate in the first place. I am not sure it could have gotten any worse than this. Still, I have to give the "O" man credit, he did a good job just keeping his composure and not jumping from behind the podium and giving little George a real Philly ass whooping.


I know the debate is not over yet, but I haven't heard one question about any of the shit affecting urban A-merry-ca. Issues such as education, crime, a fair credit and banking system, housing. Or, what kind of judges do you plan to appoint when you become President? What are your views on NAFTA and immigration? How do you plan to rebuild the Gulf Coast? What about the mess we have with our Airlines in this country? The A-merry-can dollar is sinking all over the world and we owe the Chinese a zillion dollars, how do we get out of this mess? Do you have a plan to catch Bin Laden and bring him to justice before he dies in a cave of natural causes? And are you going to issue an executive order to force Lark Voorhees to call the field Negro? Okay that one was bullshit, but they might as well have asked it. Given the bullshit questions they did ask, how could a question like that have been worse? Pledged Delegates? Who gives a fuck? Let's see what they are going to do when they become President of these divided states. Let the dumbocratic party decide who they will elect and how they will elect them. You two clowns should have been asking questions that effect real A-merry-cans, not bullshit questions to satisfy inside the beltway pundits and political junkies.


Thank goodness this farce is over. I bet the "O" man is glad. The poor guy might have actually gotten votes tonight from people who felt sorry for his ass. I bet he thought he was in North Philly, or Southwest somewhere. He couldn't believe he was in a WSZ at 5th and Market. After the gang up and beat down he took from these two gang bangers in suits from ABC, he had to have been asking his handlers what happened. Where is Philly's finest when you need them?


Anyway, mercifully, it's over. I have a pretty strong stomach, but I can only take so much.
