Dick Cavet on Sarah Palin -- My Television is broken - it only shows Palin

Electronic devices dislike me. There is never a day when something isn’t ailing. Three out of these five implements — answering machine, fax machine, printer, phone and electric can-opener — all dropped dead on me in the past few days.

Now something has gone wrong with all three television sets. They will only get Sarah Palin.

I can play a kind of Alaskan roulette. Any random channel clicked on by the remote brings up that eager face, with its continuing assaults on the English Lang.

There she is with Larry and Matt and just about everyone else but Dr. Phil (so far). If she is not yet on “Judge Judy,” I suspect it can’t be for lack of trying.

What have we done to deserve this, this media blitz that the astute Andrea Mitchell has labeled “The Victory Tour”?

I suppose it will be recorded as among political history’s ironies that Palin was brought in to help John McCain. I can’t blame feminists who might draw amusement from the fact that a woman managed to both cripple the male she was supposed to help while gleaning an almost Elvis-sized following for herself. Mac loses, Sarah wins big-time was the gist of headlines.

I feel a little sorry for John. He aimed low and missed.

2. How perceptive he is!

The loser is paraded around on a "victory tour". This is truly bizarro world. And yes, McKKKlan aimed low and missed big time and his own party truly believes that he didn't aim low enough! :rofl:

4. That's what I was telling my friends and

customers at work..everytime I turned on tv there was something to remind me of palin before I could switch the damn station.

I was going to watch Letterman Friday night and out comes Bruce Willis in a sarah fooking palin wig and glasses with some schtick goin'.

I told peeps at work that the media wants to keep dumbin' us down and she's the poster person for it.

Matt Lauer called Obama's 30 minute ad special "sappy"..what does he say of his trying to fucking dumb down America?

"But now, as the Brits say, “I’ll be glad to see the back of her.”

I always thought she looked stupid but then my first encounter with her was her evil acceptance speech when she lied about Obama and disparged Community Organizers.

5. I hope she stays on television for the next five years. I toss lunch every time I

see her and at this rate I can lose the 30 lbs I need to get rid of to get down to racing weight in NO time!!


Silver linings, man, silver linings.....
