Morning bash.

What morning wouldn't be complete without some Sarah Palin bashing.

According to this fluffy story, Sarah Palin is loved by her small Alaska hometown. Of course the CNN article fails to mention that when Palin was the Mayor of that small town she threatened to fire the local librarian for not removing books that Palin considered "obscene". Not every resident of that small Alaska town has forgotten that episode and some have paid a great deal of attention to Palin's subsequent actions as Mayor and Governor. This rather well written email comes from one such lost member of Sarah Palin's flock and details the last 10-12 years of Palin's political career.

That is, without doubt, the most honest and factual accounting of Sarah Palin that I have see thus far.


Then there is her speech last night at the RNC. It wasn't bad, she's well spoken and fairly articulate. But she has a very unflattering demeanor...a kind of angry, confrontational style that I don't particularly care for. The idea that this seemingly bitter and acerbic person could be face of America to the rest of the world is frightening. Also, the whole tone of the RNC seems to be angry as compared to the rather light and hopeful tone that was the theme of the DNC last week. It's almost as if the Republicans are acting like angry, caged animals with the anticipation of a loss in November.
