Mad Dog Palin "It was like watching Gidget address the Reichstag"-Matt Taibbi hits one out ofthepark

It's not available online yet, but I HIGHLY recommend that everyone read this article in the current issue of Rollling Stone (Issue 1062, Oct. 2, 2008). Available at a newsstand, library, or bookstore near you...

Mad Dog Palin: The scariest thing about John McCain's running mate isn't how unqualified she is it's what her candidacy says about America.
By Matt Taibbi

excerpts:
"... Here's the thing about Americans. You can send their kids off by the thousands to get their balls blown off in foreign lands for no reason at all, saddle them with billions in debt year after congressional year while they spend their winters cheerfully watching game shows and football, pull the rug out from under their mortgages, and leave them living off their credit cards and their Wal-Mart salaries while you move their jobs to China and Bangalore.

And none of that matters, so long as you remember a few months before Election Day to offer them a two-bit caricature culled from some cutting-room-floor episode of Rosanne as part of your presidential ticket. And if she's a good enough likeness of a loudmouthed Middle American archetype, as Sarah Palin is, John Q. Public will drop his giant-size bag of Doritos in gratitude, wipe the Sizzlin Picante dust from his lips and rush to the booth to vote for her. Not because it makes sense, or because it has a chance of improving his life or anyone else's, but simply because it appeals to the low-humming narcissism that substitutes for his personality, because the image on TV reminds him of the mean, brainless slob he sees in the mirror every morning.

Sarah Palin is a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern United States. As a representative of our political system, she's a new low in reptilian villainy, the ultimate cynical masterwork of puppeteers like Karl Rove. But more than that, she is a horrifying symbol of how little we ask for in return for the total surrender of our political power. Not only is Sarah Palin a fraud, she's the tawdriestm most half-assed fraud imaginable, 20 floors below the lowest the common denominator, a character too dumb even for daytime TV - and this country is going to eat her up, cheering her every step of the way. All because most Americans no longer have the energy to do anything but lie back and allow ourselves to be jacked off by the calculating thieves who run this grasping consumer paradise we call a nation."

These paragraphs are from the beginning of the article. Taibbi's just getting warmed up here.

That should play well in middle America, don't you think?

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

It ain't OCD.  I just realized, this is bigotry.  

She isn't one of THEM.  She isn't an elite educated beyond her interlligence at some Ivy school.  She has succeeded in business and politics, but her husband isn't emasculated, and she isn't seem wide-eyed harpy.  She has a normal family with normal problems.  And the greatest terror of terror to them, she didn't abort her down's syndrome son.

That Americans like her is driving them nuts.

Palin had 60,000 at her rally at The Villages in FL yesterday.  The RNC can't book her in enough places to fill all the requests.  What does that say, lurking DUmbasses?

They sure have a low opinion of the very people whose interest they claim to be looking out for.

If I didn't already know what vile, lowlife dumbasses they were, and simply witnessed the contempt and distaste they have for average working citizens, they'd be the last people on Earth I'd trust to look out for my "best interests."

Whole shitload of namecalling, not a shred of substance.  Does anyone really expect anything any different from the talentless hack Marxist worms at Rolling Stone?  Or CNN, for that matter?  Anyone who takes their political guidence from a gaggle of washed-up, coked-out hippies who call themselves "journalists" deserves to be smashed in the face with a Ryan Howard line drive.  Just sayin', yo.  :afro:

You know, I always liked the Gidget movies, but not as much as I liked the "Tammy" movies. Tammy always married a Dr. or lawyer...she was a real life example of the philosophy I've repeated endlessly to my husband..."what's yours is mine and what's mine is mine." My guess...most of the females at DU aren't woman enough to compel a man to at least pretend there's o way out of this situation. Weak metrosexual men suck.

Thanks, Matt Taibbi, for penning another chapter in the continuing saga known as "The Illustrated Story of Why the Demcorats Just Don't Get It."  Toodles!
