Although I haven't met her personally, I am convinced, based on her sneering stump speeches to the already brainwashed, that Sarah Palin is a mean, vindictive, small-minded person who doesn't deserve to be parodied by someone as smart and as talented as Tina Fey.I don't know if she believes all the bullshit she says. She obviously knows how to play to the bigots in the crowd, by memorizing and regurgitating the soundbytes crafted for her by her most cynical speechwriters.
But she's not smart enough, I think, not to believe at least some of it, which means she must have a cognitive dissonance so profound it's as if her skull has an extra bone straight down the middle of it, separating her reality from real reality.
This is not a man who sees America as you and I see America. We see America as a force for good in this world. We see America as a force for exceptionalism . . . Our opponents see America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who would bomb their own country.
Palling around with terrorists?
America as a force for good?
Sarah Palin is a dick and John McCain is a stereotype. His habit of using "my friend" seems like he's trying to imbue every phrase with a menacing tone, but it just makes him sound like a poorly-acted bad guy in a crappy movie.

the only other people who repeatedly say "my friend" are televangelists and used car salesmen - two groups of people I instinctively distrust and recoil from. In that regard, McCain's use of the phrase is sickeningly appropriate ...
Amen sister. Preach on, you know how I loves it.
I almost feel like Palin is too stupid to know better.
