We Deserve Better than Sarah Palinnew

My Time Driving Mr. Bidennew
When I started working as Biden's driver, he intimidated me. I lived my first few months on the job afraid each day would be my last, not because of anything I did, but because of who he was and the reputation he had.

Beyond the Palinnew
Palin -- who has absolutely no substance to her platform other than beliefs that divide and suppress women -- doesn't deserve to hold the office of vice president. She doesn't deserve to benefit from the feminist movement she denigrates.

What if Everybody Answered Questions Like Sarah Palin?new

The unabashed balderdash that spews from this particular pig's painted lips makes Dan Quayle look like a thousand Mensa men conflated their sperm in a lab, injected it into the cryogenically preserved uterus of Madame Curie and gave birth to a disembodied brain.

Sarah Palin Tries to Out-Cutesy a Traumatized Nationnew
While her debate performance against Biden may not have been the total catastrophe we'd all been hoping for, it reinforced the catastrophic choice by the McCain campaign to have Palin play hide-and-go-fuck-yourself with the media for the past month.

Joe Biden is My Lovernew

I, like God, love me some Old Handsome Joe. There is a true kindness, a true goodness, which he wields like a weapon, hiding that big sexy brain behind his Simple Joe grin, and rope-a-doping 'em better than anybody I know.

The Sarah Swindle: Palin is Like a More Reckless Version of Dubyanew
Last week, I talked about the opportunism and cheap cynicism of choosing the woefully inexperienced and undereducated Alaska governor as vice president. That's all that was merited saying about Sarah Palin, I thought. Then I saw her interviewed by ABC's Charles Gibson, and was incredibly shocked and angry.

We live in a barbaric epoch that produces the most riveting advances in technology while simultaneously cultivating the lowest expectations of our so-called leaders. We've had our Dan Quayles and Spiro Agnews in the past, but these were aberrations from the norm. Now the aberrations are the norm.
