Dear Sarah Palin....

[demwing]

I'm not one to usually give advice to my opponents, first, because if they're smart, they don't need it and won't take it, second, if they're not smart they might take it, and might benefit.

So it's through teeth clinched with apprehension that I offer this bit of wisdom...

When you have to field a question to which you don't know the answer, turn the question around to play in your favor, and answer according to your own agenda. For instance, when asked whether you support the Bush Doctrine, you know that the answer is "Yes" even if-as we all saw-you don't have the faintest fuckin' clue what the Bush Doctrine is.

Come on! It's got "BUSH" in the title. Bush is your hero. OMG - Support his doctrine, whatever it is! Don't even sweat it!

So you answer emphatically - "Yes, Charlie, I do."

Then you quickly take one of the following, tried and true Republican tactics:

Change the subject and talk about McCain, his years of experience, how he knows the location of "Obama Bin Laden...OOPS, I mean OSAMA bin laden's cave (then giggle), and how this election isn't a referendum on Bush policy, but a choice between McCain's (he was a POW ya know) experience, and Barack's uppity activism.

OR, you could get snappy, and accuse him of sexism, "You think that because I'm a woman I don't understand the Bush Doctrine? Charley, I'm embarrassed for you and this network. I expected better, and this interview is over unless you apologize immediately." The refuse to speak on the subject, ever again.

You could even say that the Bush Doctrine was fine for it's time, but you and John are developing the McCain Doctrine, where we actually win the war, end the war, kill all terrorists around the world, and bring our troops home to a safer America - safer because of Gawd's plan and John McCain's leadership.

Come on Sarah. I'm on the other side, and I can answer that question better than you did! Is this supposed to make us feel more comfortable with you as VP" All it made me do is sit there, terrified in contemplation of the fact that John McCain is 10,000 years older than dirt, is gonna die REALLY soon, and that you'll probably be stepping into his cold, empty shoes when he kicks it next January or so. You make me terrified, Sarah Palin, and that makes you the terrorist.

But there is a way out, Sarah, if you only would admit to it.

You see, I don't think you really want this job , do you? You didn't study up for that interview, let alone your new role as VP candidate, and that tells me your heart's not really in it. Look, no one will blame you if you keep botching these interviews...it's just so hard to make the leap from newbie Governor of some icy outer state not even well represented on the map, to powerful world leader of the world!. It's like your in some bizarre nightmare, Sarah, and you just keep living it over and over.

Please. For the rest of the country...go back to sleep Sarah, and this nightmare will all, soon be over. :sarcasm:

But those last for words? Classic. I'm not sure I agree with the subtext, but overall, a dynamic post.
