these rethugs act like we can't do research on a candidate that we know nothing about

They act like doing research to find out more about Palin is smearing her. Fuck this shit.

1. Bingo.

that's exactly what they're trying to spread around. we're supposed to be apologizing for looking for her policy, records, background, etc.

None of which would have been the issue it is or the cluster fuck it has become if:

1) he hadn't picked an unknown with so little experience to judge her on

2) he had vetted her at all

3) she wasn't hiding from the press.


Therefore, I am not going to apologize for doing HIS job and the job of the PRESS on behalf of the American people (I mean, what we all do here and elsewhere).

How dare they try to guilt trip us? If they weren't so utterly fucking incompetent, we wouldn't be in this situation. You know that sign they hang in service businesses? your lack of planning is not my problem?

There you go.

As far as the media frenzy, that never would have happened either had
1) she been vetted
2) she been a responsible parent and told the truth from the beginning
3) she wasn't avoiding the media like a coward, claiming she needed to be shown deference.

my response to them? Your problem.
