Sarah used a telepalm in Nashville. Obama didn't use anything at the Republican retreat in Baltimore during an unscripted Q&A and people are still talking like she is a serious politician. Scary thing is, no one thought Ronald Reagan could be elected either. Just some food for thought.

I didn't want to talk about Sarah and the tea party today, but I had to. I wanted to ignore this stupidity and not take it seriously. I can't --I'm angry. I don't quite get exactly where this tea party thing is going, but I am incredulously pissed that these people made not a peep before January 20, 2009. I am really resentful that they think they are the chosen ones to save this country-- acting as though millions of hard working activists for the past 8 years didn't exist.

But what I am even more angry about is the fact that the media takes them seriously. They give them air-time, and act as if they really are legitimate. No one in the media mentioned that Sarah had prewritten answers on her hand for a pre-screened and rehearsed question.

But it gets better. Yesterday, while being interviewed on Fox News (where she is paid as a political pundit) she actually excused Rush Limbaugh for calling liberals 'retards':


Nope, there is no sense of irony there -- or shame, from this self-described good Christian God-fearing woman. This woman, with all the scandal that surrounds her is actually considered a viable politician by tea partiers and the media. No mention that she read answers off of her hands -- that's to be expected. She was interviewed by the people she works for -- no conflict of interest there.

When we on the left have hundreds of thousands march for woman's reproductive rights, or to end wars, we get maybe 5 minutes time on TV -- when they do, they get hours of punditry. I resent that, I fully admit it. So this morning, I am just pissed. I am sick and tired of people defending this socio-pathological liar and opportunist and the people who claim that she represents them. Her husband was part of a secession group for the love of honesty!

She is a hypocrite, and people need to start calling her to the carpet for what she says and does, because she is the symbol of so much of what is wrong in this nation.

Really -- I am just sick of it all. These obstructionist bastards are making a bad situation worse, and are acting like they have all the answers while people like you and I have spent a lifetime being active for social and political issues to make this world a better happier place. They have no answers, they never did. All they have is torches and pitchforks and the delusional idea that they are saving the country. It needs to be saved from ignorant fear-mongers like them.

A woman who cannot answer a question without writing answers on her hand has no place on any political stage. I could only imagine if she did this during nuclear disarmament talks and had to shake a leader with a sweaty hand -- it would be endgame for all of us. You thought Bush was bad? He's brilliant compared to her. She will make an ever better puppet for her masters. Think about that.

Yes, I'm resentful today... Really.
