Not long ago, I indicated that "some part" of me actually felt sorry for Sarah Palin. Of course, I was not speaking the language of Rich Lowry...who suggested that just listening to Sarah Palin made him "sit up a little straighter on his couch".
THAT...was just plain creepy.
The "sympathetic bone" in my body was at least located "North" of the old "Mason-Dixon Line".
I still think that Palin was sucked into a situation that she was not politically, intellectually, or worldly-wise enough to deal with...and didn't even have the clothes closet to manage.
The larger problem that Johnny Fell Into The Alligator Pond has to contend with now, is the over-abundance of "Handlers" who are pawing at him like a Gubenatorial Pole Dancer in a skin-tight leather jacket and thigh-high boots.
On the same day that Johnny McNuts is trying to barnstorm Red States and mount anything even vaguely resembling a defense to the Obama Onslaught in those areas...the Candidate instead is forced respond to questions regarding lack of funds, no time to expand his map, Sarah Palin's wardrobe, and now issues relating to his mid-1990's UNCONDITIONAL SERIES OF MEETINGS with Chilean Dictator, Augusto Pinochet.
"Joe the Plumber" has been so sufficiently outed for what he is AND is NOT at this point, that whatever benefit Johnny McNuts THOUGHT he would be receiving by planting the distant relative of Charles Keating, in a Barack Obama Camapign Stop...has also gone by the wayside. And, by the time that Joe Sam Werzelbacher, Ex-Con...sells his book, and sees it rise to 1,000,000 on the New York Times Bestseller List...we will fortunately be in the second half of the first term of the Barack Obama Administration.
Maybe...McCain will look back on his final failed Presidential effort and think..."I should have let Mike Murphy handle things after all?"
Maybe McCain will look back on his final failed Presidential effort and think..."I should not have sold out to the religious right, Karl Rove, George W. Bush, Wall Street, the rest of the Neo-cons, the rest of the group who said I was nuts back in 2000," or any other person, place or thing he has pandered to since early 2005?
Maybe...in the last 11 days, Johnny McNot Even I Can Belive I Said That...will stop talking about things that have absolutely nothing to do with the campaign, and actually issue a policy statement?
Okay...so NONE of these things will probably happen. But then...who really cares at this point? Johnny McJust Pull The Freakin' Plug On Me, PLEASE...really is effectively out of money, time, and most importantly, "States" that will make a difference.
Eleven days out from Election Day...at a time when Barack Obama has suspended his Campaign in order to visit his ailing grandmother..and McCain's big announcement of the day is that Sarah Palin will be delivering her first POLICY ADDRESS...tomorrow...on the issue of, "Special Needs Children".
This following the "BIG" announcement of yesterday...justifying the expenditure of funds for Sarah Palin's Hooker Shoes, by claiming very simply that "She needed the clothes"...and would be "donating" those same clothes to charity following the election.
Let's take the look at these two issues, that no other mainstream media outlet seems to be willing to address.
On the issue of donating Palin's thigh-high boots, tight-fitting leather jacket and Louis Vitton Bag (sported by the 7 year old daughter) to a homeless woman from Cleveland on November 5th...
Is the McCain Campaign ACKNOWLEDGING that they have already lost the election? Would not, Pamela Anderson Lee Rock Palin STILL NEED 'CLOTHES" in the event that she were to actually BECOME the Vice President of the United States? Does McCain only want lipstick on this pig until she is "sold to market"...and then it is perfectly fine for her to go back to the flannel shirts and mucklucks that previously adorned her girlish figure?
In reality...this is just another example of the "Too Many Kooks" theory which began this Posting. Johnny McSlight Of Hand went to GREAT lengths to make sure that NO ONE ever found out that they had spent AT LEAST $150,000 on Palin's new toys. They did not use Campaign money...they used RNC money. They didn't make direct payments in every instance, they constructed a series of "reimbursable events" funneling the actual cash through a variety of sources in an added effort to conceal, or at least disguise what was going on.
Then...when they DID get caught...no one took a deep enough breath which would allow time to formulate the ONE SINGLE response which would end the matter, with "no further questions". The result was the..."Yes, we bought her a few new thongs...but, she is going to give them to homeless chicks in IdaHO IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER" response.
Maybe someday...someone in the mainstream meida will ask what VICE PRESIDENT Palin would be doing for sexy underwear, while Todd and Johnny were chasing her around the Oval Office on snowmobiles?
On the issue of the impending "Policy Address" by Special Needs Sarah, where she will outline her commitment to all Special Needs Children and their families...we will apparently be left, yet again, for someone...ANYONE from the mainstream media, to ask both Sarah AND John Boy...which side of her sexy over-painted lips she will be speaking today?
McCain votes time and again, AGAINST increasing S-CHIP Funding. McCain votes AGAINST Amendments to enhance Federal Funding of School Programs for Special Needs Children. Sarah Tundra Trash CUTS the Alaska State Budget for Special Needs Children...BEFORE SHE HAS ONE OF HER OWN. Sarah Palin delivers a speech DURING THIS CAMPAIGN in Colorado speaking AGAINST a Colorado Ballot Initiative which would result in an addition to the Colorado Sales Tax in the amount of ONE PENNY for each $20.00 in purchases, going to fund PROGRAMS FOR SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN in Colordao.
As in the case of the 1,365 Crisis Moments which have occurred during the course of the McCain 2008 Campaign...no one anticipated a crisis...despite the fact that the same people basically CREATED them all.
Then...once IN the crisis, the ONLY motivation was, "How fast can we put an end" not to THE CRISIS...but "to the questions we are being asked RIGHT NOW?"
Then...when the world figured out that the answers they gave, did no more than create a new crisis...the entire McCain Campaign Staff was forced to "Rinse and Repeat" until the end of either recorded time, or the end of Johnny's Political Career...whichever comes first.
Even worse for John, Sarah, Todd, Cindy, the RNC and most importanly, their collective Poll Numbers...voters have clearly figured out, that this would be the same means by which "this" collection of Sphincter Winkers would resolve domestic and foreign policy crisis situations, any one of which could bring an end to our democracy.
Note to John Sidney McCain...
You would have done much better in this Campaign, if the only Kook stirring your broth...was YOU.
