While I’m almost certain this point has been made elsewhere, having failed to hear it in the general press, I am compelled to make it here: the only reason anybody has taken notice of Sarah Palin’s daughter, her husband’s tryst with the Alaskan Independence Party, or her dismissal of Walter Monegan is because no one has ever heard of her. Her lack of perfection is a function of her homo sapien status rather than an indicator of some moral failing.
I hasten to point out that there has been little mention of the fact that Joe Biden is a known plaigerist who once referred to his current running mate as “clean and well-spoken”. But this is not the result of Biden’s scruples or even media bias – it’s due to the fact that anyone who follows politics is already aware of Biden’s tainted past.
Moreover, with respect to the first two complaints – her daughter’s pregnancy and her husband’s former party affiliation – it seems to me that directing criticism toward Palin’s family rather than the woman herself is an indicator of pure desperation on the part of Palin’s detractors. If the worst thing you can say about the woman is that her daughter has engaged in premarital coitus and her husband was once a member of an obscure and controversial political party, well… I think that speaks for itself.
And with respect to Walter Monegan: let us assume the worst – that Palin dismissed him because he refused to fire Alaska State Trooper Mike Wooten, who was in the process of divorcing Palin’s sister. Can anyone really blame her, given the conditions? Wooten’s favorite pastimes include brazen violations of the laws he has sworn to enforce, including making death threats and driving while intoxicated (in his squad car, no less). Were I in her position – regardless of whether or not I had a beef with an involved party – I would have requested that the sonofabitch be fired, too, and would have raised holy hell if a member of my cabinet refused to do so.
Speaking of myself: were I to run for political office, is there any doubt that my opponents would make good use of this very web site, dredging up writings from my mispent, ill-informed youth as evidence of my ignorance and temerity? I’m quite certain they would. But make no mistake – these kinds of revelations can be controversial only once per forum, and with respect to Sarah Palin, the Democrats have used up all their rounds.
One Response to “In Defense of Sarah Palin”

An excellent defense of Governor Palin. Now, let’s tot up her positives — from a strictly political and, therefore, highly-elevated plane.
1. Sarah Palin is CUTE!!! The glasses are critical. Anyone who suggests she trade them in for contacts should be FIRED!! They give her a kind of “Marion-the Librarian” look — somewhat plain and conventional on the outside, but suggesting a red-hot ball of passion on the inside. When she piles her hair up on her head it only furthers that image, because when she lets her hair down; it’s DYNAMITE!!
2. She came in # 2 in a Miss Alaska competition and was voted Miss Congeniality. Sandra Bullock did that once, didn’t she?
3. She belongs to the NRA and there’s a photo/tape of her shooting an awesome gun.
OH!
MY!
GOD!
Is there anything sexier than a beautiful woman wielding a high-powered weapon?
3. Compare her to Hillary Clinton or — even worse — Geraldine Ferraro. NO CONTEST!! The “angry white male” vote is assured; along with the disinterested, lazy, pleasant and horny white male vote. Those of a more cerebral nature will select a candidate based on other criteria, but let’s be crystal-clear on one point.
When it comes to selecting women, John McCain is — like — a GOD. In addition to his veep selection, John married a smart, beautiful blond with big headlights and a BEER DISTRIBUTORSHIP!! Obama can FORGET the youth vote! I see voter registration keggers being held on college campuses across the country.
How many women who supported Hillary for purely gender reasons will add their support to McCain-Palin? They are LEGION! The only woman in sight is Sarah and her anti-abortion, pro-gun stance will not deter them because, for them, sexual equipment is EVERYTHING and ideas are nothing. They will flock to her banner.
McCain has gone a long way to assuage the idiot sensibilities of the Evangelicals. Sarah is an almost-Pentacostal and that wing of the GOP is hereby brought back to the fold. She’s got five kids and one of them is carrying a baby and will not abort it! What a message!
And consider the future. The wife of Bill “weenie-waggler” Clinton might confront Sarah in a future Presidential election. Hilary will be OO-LL-DD and Sarah will still be “handsome”.
The safety and security of the Republic is assured.
