A Letter


Dear Governor Palin,

Thank you for your smart and sassy appearance at the Vice Presidential debate last night. I must admit, even I was impressed by your poise, a true testament to your keen ability to follow a closely studied script.

Just a note, that next time you are in a debate you might remember that debaters often reply to the question directly or present rebuttals to their opponent's comments. I know this is all a bit new and overwhelming, being as that you've only been "at it about five weeks."

Also, I was very interested to hear that you are from the "Heartland of America." What a coincidence - I am too, so that is one thing we have in common! Although, being from Nebraska I'm a little confused about how Alaska (the closest American state to Russia) can also be considered the heartland. I know, I know, words that sound so alike can sometimes cause terrible confusion.

Gov. Palin, no offense, but next time you are on national television, please refrain from winking at me. I generally found it patronizing and frankly a little creepy.

Oh, and one last note. I'm checking into banning the word "maverick" from here on out. Maybe you can help me figure out how? I used to love the movie Top Gun, gosh darn.

Thank you Gov. Palin. Have a great day.

But gee, gosh darn, she was just so, bless her heart, endearing.

Ick.

I liked Frank Rich's observation in his Sunday column. Real mavericks don't refer to themselves as "mavericks."

Tim Robbins was on the Daily Show last night. Normally I try not to go as far as Tim and Susan in their politics, but he said something I thought was intriguing: "Don't you want someone really smart to run this country?"

Now, of course, the President doesn't RUN the country (though in this administration I think the VP is giving it the ol' college try). But the Other Side seems to be desperately trying to pander to the lowest common denominator in both the VP pick and the way they're pursuing the campaign.

Tim Robbins is right: I don't want Joe Six-Pack and a simple hockey mom to be my president. I want an intellectual who does more than drink beer and drive kids around in a minivan.

The problem for the Republicans, though, is that all their intellectuals have been proven wrong about, well, pretty much EVERTHING over the past six months. So where the hell else are they going to go?
