Thanks for the satire! Gosh and golly, she was a real smart lady who would have been a nice ornament on our governation if McCain and she had been erected.
The fact is, she was the most qualified. And she also had to actually answer questions on policies.

Maybe I can't get past her words, her backwoods stupidity, and her slimy agenda, but I find the woman to be completely repulsive. And now, just to top it all off, she's a whiner.
C'mon mate, yeesh. The only ones who were repulsive, and stupid, were, although I wish him well for the sake of the country, what appears (or at least can be argued) to be a man who is an arrogant, ignorant, elitist, racist, lying politician who just got elected by a complacent, worshipful media who never bothered to do any homework or ask any real questions of him whatsoever. NOTHING. He got a free pass. President-elect Obama announced during his campaign some of the most assinine economic and foreign policy ideas ever to be put forth, then when questioned about a few of them a couple of times folded like cardboard. He either was lying to the American public, saying what needed to be said to get elected, or he is a strict ideologue.
Then you have his Vice Presidential pick, Senator Biden, a man who has been wrong on every major foreign policy issue of the past two decades and who had to suspend his 1988 presidential campaign because he was caught lying about his background. He is a proven gaffe-machine who has a reputation for over-exaggerating his own credentials.
Then there was Senator McCain, another buffoon.
As for Palin, she has actually run some things (a town and a state), and actually fought corruption, within her own party, rather than just utilized the system to advance her own career, as our current President-elect. She proved herself to be able to handle extreme pressure, and a very quick study. To say she has "backwoods stupidity" I think is the height of ignorance; good grief, she debated Senator Biden and was a match when "experience-wise," he should have been able to crush her, instead making a huge number of whoppers. Claiming she has a slimy agenda, when we have a President-elect who literally supports allowing born children to die, and who has never once bucked organized labor (that's like a Republican who has never bucked Big Business), I consider the height of hypocrisy.
So IMO let's lay off this one-sided Palin-bashing. She isn't on the national scene as any kind of threat to the Left right now anyhow. And while it's probably a bad move to whine, I think you'd be antsy too if you'd experienced the media hostility she did. She was vetted more in weeks than President-elect Obama was during the ENTIRE CAMPAIGN. If it was not for Fox News, that evil fascist news arm of the Republican party (eye roll), and Sean Hannity, that rabid Nazi (bigger eye roll), we would not even have known half the things we did about him (to which he didn't answer anything either, and completely avoided, like the plague, what was the most watched cable news channel in America).
