Traveling Texas this week and I always listen to SportsTalk on the radio in the West (it's that or pay damages when I break the radio because I found the tenth straight station with Rush AirBag on).
Now for those of you who don't listen to sports radio it is not as objectionable as Rush but it is not usually the hotbed of progressive radio (I can't count the number of times people make fun of Europe (especially France) on the medium). So today was great.
They were discussing what they were doing this evening - one guy was participating in a local pro sports event. The other guys said he was:
"Going to be watching the VP debate with his SC pennant".
Huh?
yeah, he said:
"I want to be there to support Miss South Carolina when she debates tonight".
he then went on to refer all of his listeners to YouTube to view the side-by-sides of the Sarah Palin interviews and the Mis South Carolina tapes. OMG, Joe Six Pack is now getting his morning talk radio refering him to YouTube and those side by sides.
You have to understand - this is big hair country with gun racks. These guys probably have two radio presets - sports radio and whoever carries Rush. If they are getting this and their heads don't explode this is incredibly damaging to the GOP ticket.
This is ridicule of the highest order. If your sports buddies are making fun of someone there is no way in hell you are voting for them. Think all the high school peer pressure you every thought of and fuel it with beer and testosterone.
No wonder the polls are shifting.
