How perfect is it that a VP candidate who knew NOTHING about Africa got her ass handed to her by the
son of a Kenyan goat herder.

1. When you say "African American" about Obama, that's for reals!
People sometimes argue about the term "African American" in relation to some black Americans whose families go back generations in America. But, Obama must really really scare Palin and her right wing racist friends - he is without a doubt an AFRICAN AMERICAN!

This election has been so great in so many ways.

3. Well everyone is African if you go back enough generations, There's the current residents and the
former residents, and the whole family.

Palin is priceless. Her political problem isn't her religion, her politics, her hobbies or her personal geography. It's that she's vapid. She's a slanderer. Her oratory is grating and mean spirited. What she thinks of as campaign politics is legalized character assassination.

Huckabee shares most of her politics and her religion, yet he comes off as credible, and likable. He scares me way more than she does.

OK, we all know style and savoir faire is important in politics. But she rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. Some find her good looking. But good looking and Presidential aren't the same thing.

Obama didn't beat her. McCain stuck her in way over her head. Showed very poor judgment. She's Joe the Plumber's roll model for graft, sort of. People lost confidence in McCain and Obama is the most credible candidate we've had in a long time.

McCain and Paling beat themselves. Obama shined.

14. I see his/her point - Huckabee scares me more, too
because he comes across as much more reasonable and acceptable, he's more dangerous than she is.

18. Exactly. She's obviously in over her head. Huckabee is the more dangerous of the two.

12. I still think this is fabricated to make people look the other way

While the responsible people on the McCain campaign frantically are trying to preserve a future professionally.

She might have said something that was less than perfect on this (I am pretty sure she did :) ) - but she is not _that_ stupid.

But she certainly made it easy to beleive this stuff.

17. Oh, the irony of these morans. If sarah is reading this...
irony does not mean you spent the day pressing clothes with a hot metal household appliance.

Look it up on "the" google even goober peas knows about the google, then again I'm pretty sure he knew Africa was a continent and not a country, he just couldn't name any of the leaders.

20. Not to mention that Pastor Muthee, whom she credits with her "success"
and her political climb is also from Kenya.

Her political ascent - if you can call it that - began under a man from Kenya and her political descent began because of a son of a Kenyan. How fitting is that?
