So, I just read this article stating that the National Enquirer is about to release a story stating that Vice Presidential candidate and self-proclaimed ‘hockey mom with small town values, Sarah Palin, has had an affair with one of her husband’s business associates (see: another fisherman).  Oops.  Now, before you dismiss this by saying that it’s only the National Enquirer, they’re the one’s who broke the story of the John Edwards affair. Even more so, if there’s one truly politically neutral newspaper on the planet, I would say that it is the National Enquirer (they only want to make money, they don’t care who they smear).

The article isn’t out yet, so I haven’t read anything and there’s no verification that this is even true.  However, it would be great if it was.  Nothing like a sinking ship.

There’s a chance that we’ll soon have a President who, admittedly, doesn’t know how to use a computer or the internet and a Vice President who’s been outside of this country exactly once. Now, maybe it’s me, but I’m not OK with that.  

I don’t want this to come out as a rant against small towns in this country, but Sarah Palin was right:  small town people grow our food, work in our factories, and fight our wars.  They don’t run our multi-national corporations, govern our large cities or, if there is any such thing as good karma in this world, have the ability to make decisions that effect billions of people.   I’d rather leave that up to the well-educated, not the barefoot beauty queens.

This woman looks and sounds like a New Jersey soccer mom.  That’s great, I’m not against them.  I am, however, against a New Jersey soccer mom in the number two spot in the country.  Speaking of the way she sounds, I can totally see how badly Saturday Night Live is going to make fun of her.  That nasally-annoying voice and robotic speaking pattern. I can’t wait.  But, I digress.

If the rest of the country can’t see through this sham, I feel sorry for us.  If the McBush/Stalin ticket is elected, we deserve everything we get.

Oh, and by the way:  they keep showing Bristol and her new ‘fiance’ (who I’m sure just JUMPED at the chance to marry her… must have been the shotgun pointed at him) on TV.  Such a good looking, well-mannered young man.  Here’s excerpts from his MySpace profile.  Yeah, good luck with that.

I’m watching Mitt Romney speak at the RNC right now and the only thing I can think of is a quote from Sinclair Lewis who said:

“When facism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”
