Going Rogue with the truth.
I haven’t purchased Sarah Palin’s best-selling rant and I won’t. I don’t need to. Before it was dissected by the Associated Press and others, I already knew it would be filled with hate and lies.
How did I know?
During last year’s presidential campaign, no one was more sarcastic, mean-spirited and uninformed than Sarah Palin. And no one told more lies. In fact, I vowed to send an email to Senator John McNasty every time I found his campaign to be less than truthful. Unfortunately for me, my vow resulted in writing an email virtually every day of the campaign. Some days, I sent 3, 4 or more. Many of those emails were in response to Ellie Mae Clampett’s, er, Sarah Palin’s speeches. From her constant refrain that Obama was “palin’ around with terrorists” to her attacks on his having been a community organizer to her rants about the media (the disaster that was her CBS interview wasn’t her fault, it was Katie Couric’s) Palin revealed virtually every character flaw known to man. Or woman.
It seems that Palin is such a rogue that she refuses to rely on traditional sources for her information. Instead, she draws her political wisdom from Joe the Plumber (who’s neither a plumber nor named Joe), Rush Limbaugh and Glenn “crocodile tears” Beck.
In Sarah’s mavericky mind, not even her running mate or his campaign staff grasped the real issues. After all, her running mate was merely a U.S. Senator while she was the former mayor of Wasilla and a hockey mom. If only they wouldn’t have held her back, the country would be much better off today with her at the helm after she had disposed of that wrinkly old bald guy who dared to put his name in front of hers on the ballot.
For me, the real question regarding Palin is why anyone would buy her book or bother to fact check it - unless they enjoy fantasy and fiction.
