The Cheerleader and POTUS to be

Got to see and hear both parties today. Lady Sarah without Papa, and Barack Obama made stops in my neck of the woods today. Obama spoke issues to about fifteen thousand plus people in Ault Park. God must have been happy because it was an absolutely beautiful day in Cincinnati. No rain clouds in sight. Obama’s crowd looking like America, a rainbow of genders, ages, sizes and colors. Happy, laughing, upbeat.

Palin showed up a couple of hours later in Wilmington, home of the Sarah Palin corn maze, conducting an inside pep rally to the vanilla faithful who worship at her feet. She started off by introducing her kids, Bristol, Piper and Trig as her traveling companions.

Question....Don’t these kids have to go to school? And what about the baby. Why oh why does she drag that poor child out on stage at all hours of the day and night? We know she’s fertile. We know she has kids. She doesn’t have to prove it every time she takes the stage.

What she is proving is that the kid is more of a trophy kid. If I didn’t know better, I’d say she had the kid for the base not because she wanted it.

After the platitudes, she got to the reason why she was there....to attack Obama. Right on cue the no necks in the crowd began chanting “nobama” and yelling “terrorist” and “traitor”. These chants were interspersed with other chants of “go Sarah.” She stood mute as her syncophants abused Obama’s name. At no time did this happen to her or McCain during Obama’s rally.

Obama did call McCain erratic. He is. He is just plain batshit crazy. Check out the latest edition of Rolling Stone Magazine.

Palin defended her attack as being truthful. Once again she relied on the memory of Ronald Reagan invoking the picture of the shining city on the hill, rather than the plans her partner intends to implement if elected. The crowd was in a half hearted frenzy by now, chanting hysterically as if at a revival rather than a political pep rally.

Heavy on fake patriotism, and still not wearing a flag pin, she continued to beat the dead horses that are William Ayers and Iraq, amid calls for absolute victory that even General Patraeus is backing away from.

Listening to Palin one could forget that her party is the one that has brought this country to its knees with its wrong handed witch doctor policies that began with the man, Ronny Raygun, back in1980.

She spoke for roughly 29 , minutes, tossing out bucket loads of democratic red meat. Then she abruptly ended and left the stage after shaking hands with a few folks.

She is slated to attend a breakfast fund raiser tomorrow in Indian Hill, that’s a rich suburb here in Cincinnati. Word has it that bacon and eggs will cost twenty five hundred bucks a plate. That lets me out. Even if I had the money she goes down easier when she’s free..

Did I Just Miss the Election?

Or is John McCain attempting to act presidential with his hawkish vibrato on the Georgia-Russia situation.

If this is his idea of showing us how well prepared he is to lead this country, then I have a few problems with his style. The John Wayne style of shooting from the hip and asking questions later doesn’t work in the real world anymore, if it ever did. And if he is attempting to live up to his misnamed nickname, then he is screwing that up, too. Maverick’s are loners who follow their own way. Madonna’s a maverick, Jane Fonda’s a maverick, Cool Hand Luke’s a maverick, Jack Nicholson’s a maverick, Dennis Kucinich is a maverick, Ron Paul is a maverick, Ralph Nader is a maverick....John McCain?.......nah!

Telling a group of reporters that countries don’t invade other countries in the 21st century was just plain dumb. Think about it, John....how did we get into Iraq, again? Did Saddam invite us for tea and a sleep over? No matter what Dubya’s reasons were, it was an invasion, plain and simple, and it happened in the 21st century.

And that other thing you said.....there is an old saying; don’t let your mouth make promises that your ass can’t keep. If you don’t occupy the White House, you can’t declare all of us Americans, Georgians and then tell those people “we’ve” got your back. I mean, where you git that “we” shit kemo sabe?

That’s a punch line from an old joke that McCain is old enough to know..Hell, he was probably there when it was written.

The joke goes like this; The Lone Ranger and his faithful Indian companion Tonto are riding along when suddenly they find themselves surrounded by Indians. The Lone Ranger looks at Tonto and says, “well old friend, I guess this is it, we’re outnumbered.” To which Tonto leans back on his horse and replies, “where you git that “we” shit kemo sabe..”

I’m with Tonto. I ain’t in this mess and I don’t like being put in the middle of a situation created by some useless promises and platitudes issued by that other fool, who still does occupy the White House.

McCain’s obviously missed the fact that we’re kind of short on troops these days what with those situations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Going guns blazing into Georgia would probably get us into a shooting match with Russia and drag the rest of the world down the non returnable rabbit hole of World War III.

The last time I looked, Shrub was still president, Dick Cheney was still VP. I don’t recall seeing John McCain listed anywhere in the current chain of command. And I do seem to recall him lambasting Obama in commercial after frickin commercial, about attempting to be presidential when he hasn’t yet won the election. At least Bush is sending his Russian expert, Condi Rice. Finally, she gets to do something other than play piano and demonstrate her predawn exercise routine.


Diplomacy is the way adults handle situations. The red phone is not some button in the cockpit of a practice mini bomber. Press the button and we lose the pilot and plane. Pick up the red phone and we lose the world.

Think about it, genius.

At the rate McCain is going, we can just hold Obama’s coronation tomorrow, or whenever he returns from vacation.
