Actually I want I’m not just stunned, I’m physically ill.
My aunt called me and said “I just wanted to let you know that Charlie Gibson is going to interview Sarah Palin on ABC News at 6:30″.
“Why are you telling me this?” I asked. “Just to let you know that I’m not going to watch it” she said.
Translation – “You watch it and tell me about how much she sounds like Satan.”
“I’m not going to watch her, you watch her” I told her in no uncertain terms.
“I’m 83 years old and my heart can’t take it” she said. I can’t believe she pulled out that argument, she never does that.
So I grudgingly turned it on so I could report back.
It was a sham. Charlie performed well, he thought he was believable. She will never get an Academy Award. She is aggressive, arrogant and a mimic. I’ve heard parrots deliver more convincingly.
I lasted three minutes and then I turned the tv off.
I’m sick to my stomach, not only at the lies and tripe she was parroting, peppered with buzz phrases like “weapons of mass destruction”. But also the very idea they have, that the entire citizenry will fall for this dog and pony show.
Aunt Romayne I love you. You raised me and taught me so much, but I couldn’t do it, even for you.
I’ll print you out a transcript so you can read it for yourself, I’m weak and now I have a sick headache.
Oh goddess, iif we don’t start working our butts off to defeat this manifestation of evil, we are so screwed.
