A Very Eloquent Palin Analysis
Here is the beginning of a consummate article by Patricia Williams (an American), writing in The Guardian (a Brit newspaper):
We are now several weeks into the weird humiliation that the Republican party inflicted upon us Americans with their choice of Sarah Palin as their nominee for Vice-President. Here we are, at as precarious a crossroad as history is ever likely to offer up, yet there stands Sarah Palin regurgitating George W Bush’s ‘good guys-bad guys’ baby talk. I despair.
When I hear her failing to recall the name of a single newspaper she’d ever read, I feel willing to offer up my teenage son as a sacrifice to the Republican party; he could serve in her stead with so much more fluency. When she prattles smoothly yet non-responsively to questions about the war, economics or foreign policy - or when she brightly changes the subject altogether - I want to weep.
Palin is a never-ending train wreck of ignorance, inconsistency, outright contradiction and sneering. . . .
