Political issues aren't usually addressed on this page, invaribly due to laziness on my behalf, but this whole Sarah Palin issue can not pass without comment. There are powerful female leaders and then there's a runner up beauty queen from some backwater in Alaska who champions the lunacy that is 'Creationism'. In short, if John McCain gets elected as president, and assassinated shortly afterwards, we've got the equivalent of a gun-loving Maud Flanders running our planet.
For once, P Diddy Puffy Pop said something useful: "Attention John McCain, my name is Diddy. You may know me by my government name Sean Combs... I had to check in with you to tell you that you are bugging the f**k out. I don’t even understand what planet you're on now. This is your job to be the leader of the free world. No disrespect... but things happen. Like... you got a running mate, I mean, Alaska? Alaska?... I don't know if there's any black people in Alaska... Sarah Palin? You really think that we're gonna let you in the White House with all these crazy decisions that you're making? You're bugging. I'm calling all youth, all colours, all youth voters. November 4th, we have to take our future. The lady (Palin)'s nice, she's cool, but she's a heartbeat away from the president... but what in the hell? This one right here is not respectful to our lives... Sarah Palin, that is completely irresponsible. I want you to be down with the whole cabinet, but you ain't ready to be no vice president!"
OK, so he rambled a bit, but Puffy Features hit the proverbial on the head when saying; "she's a heartbeat away from the president." Personally, I can't fathom why McCain's choice of running mate comes as a shock to Puffy Combs - the former is on YouTube at some kind've of rally filled with fellow ignoramuses, blowing his nose casually before breaking into "Do you know that old Beach Boys song Bomb Iran? Bomb, bomb, bomb... *chuckles*... Anyway..."
As Barbara Streisand said in a blog entitled McCain Doesn't Get It: Women Are Not That Stupid: "I believe John McCain chose Gov. Palin because he truly believes that women who supported Hillary - an experienced, brilliant, life-long public servant would vote for him because his Vice President has two x chromosomes..." That's the stupidity on offer, people. Let's pray middle America has a bit more cop.
