Sarah Palin and “Political Bullshit”
September 4th, 2008 by Larry Bellinger Posted in UncategorizedGOP Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin delivered a terrific speech in St. Paul, MN Wednesday night. Appearing after Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and Rudy Giuliani had extolled the virtues of her experience and denigrated that of Obama, Palin was snotty and effective. She also followed their lead in attacking the liberal media elites and Hollywood celebrities – attempting to inoculate her from press inquiries. So she spouted a bunch of crap and flat-out lies and they know the press is gonna go after the story. So they are attempting to “head the press off at the pass.”
Her speech was right on pitch and her delivery was perfectly modulated and really nasty.
The speech was like a delicious crepe wrapped around a piece of shit.
Speaking of shit, Peggy Noonan, the venerable Republican speech writer (“kinder, gentler nation”)and Wall Street Journal commentator was overheard – along with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd and Mike Murphy – commenting on the GOP’s pick of Sarah Palin as McCain’s running mate:
“The most qualified? No. I think they went for this, excuse me, political bullshit about narratives. Every time the Republicans do that, because that’s not where they live and that’s not what they’re good at, they blow it.”
Gee, Peg. Tell us what you really think.
