Well, ladies and gentlemen - I'm blown away! Sarah was my number two pick (after Governor Jindal) and I could not be happier. Now, everyone is commenting on how great her acceptance speech was - and it was - but her speech is not what this is all about. If you want to read an article about her speech, there are at least ten thousand of them out there.
This is about our illustrious fourth estate - the self proclaimed "protectors of freedom" who took it on themselves to attempt to destroy not only a political adversary, but her family as well. Come on - the mob doesn't even mess with their enemy's family. Was it tacky? Yes. Was it despicable? Without a doubt. Are we surprised? Of course not; however, let's just be honest here - it was just plain stupid. Having raised daughters, I know how I would react to someone messing with my children like that. Lessee - these wimpy chai latte sipping bullies decided to pick on the daughter of a real man - an oil field rough neck, a commercial fisherman and (in his spare time) a snow machine racer. Just guessing that this guy carries about 3.4% body fat and I'm sure he has seen his share of - wait - WON his share of bar fights. Think about it - Mr. Olbermann vs. Mr. Palin at midnight at Dupont Circle - who are you putting YOUR money on? And what about Sarah herself ? She can shoot an M16 and, as reported by Fred, field dress a moose. I wouldn't want to tick her off either.
Finally, there is our next president, John McCain. The media has reported that he has a "hair trigger temper" - and they're messing with his running mate's SEVENTEEN year old child? Before this guy stood up to his captors in the Hanoi Hilton, he was dropping bombs on people he'd never met before just because they had messed with his allies - sound familiar?
Main stream media - be warned. You are chewing off more than you can bite. Sarah may be from a small Alaskan town, but she will slice and dice you like a Vidalia onion. Remember the hot girl in high school who let everyone think she was a bubble-headed cheerleader? Then when she got into a "discussion", she was able to slaughter her opponent without ever raising her voice. Sarah Palin is that girl.
I know you folks in the media are going to ignore this warning - and, actually, I'm kinda glad you are. It's going to be a lot of fun to watch Sarah run circles around your silly attacks.
