Sexist GOP spoiled-sports fuck off and leave Sarah alone...
Like OK, so I've mocked Sarah repeatedly in my blog, but now that she is no danger of being in charge of the United States of America, I don't mind defending her.
She's a hilarious and entertaining person. Maybe not so bright, and I don't doubt she might have momentarily been confused about Africa's status as a continent (women really do have "ditz" moments--just like men--especially when under extreme pressure--and who would deny she's been under extreme duress for these past couple months?)
But these comments of McCain's anonymous aides are childish and pedantic. What's the point? She came out in her towel? So what. They probably have wet dreams about it to this day. That's their big insult to Sarah? What is that supposed to prove?
The buck stops here. McCain is responsible entirely for the debacle of his campaign. John McCain should have stuck true to himself, and he would have been fine. Might have even won--who knows. But he was running scared without a vision. He and his ill-controlled advisors stooped low and hard and it got them nowhere. Now that their entire GOP empire is faltering under this mismanaged campaign, they want to lash out at Sarah? Puh-leaze. They plucked her out of complete obscurity and made her "Queen for a Day"--if she went on a shopping spree, so what? What lady can say they wouldn't have also? The GOP clearly footed the bill--they ran the show. If she bungled it for the team, it was the McCain campaign's fault...she showed plenty of prowess when she was at her best.

What can I say? You're right. I don't really blame Palin for him losing, he didn't play a good game and even his interference in her character cost them points. The other important thing, is that like him or no, Obama is a great speaker with a powerful and even sexy voice. Regardless of anything else, he also came across as he intended by repeatedly saying he was going to work WITH many people, regardless of party. It would seem he's making a sort of attempt at that already as he prepares. I can't complain too much about the outcome, it's unreasonable for me to suggest that only a convicted felon will do for President. ( i was talking about neither Obama or McCain in that statement ) But, essentially, it was a vote for Plumber Joe. :)
