Watching these Republican speeches.

It confuses me.  Are people really fooled by this stuff? Sarah Palin is not a good speaker.  I’m sorry.  I know; not everyone can be Obama.  But she sounds like Louise on that “Family Guy” episode where she got elected by saying, “Nine eleven,” a lot.  I found myself thankful last week, when McCain announced his choice.  But people in the crowd seemed to be eating that shit up. Ah, ahem, all those ugly white people. Giuliani, your glasses don’t fit, sir.  And that you would call out Obama for “changing his mind” when he’s running against frikkin McCain is laughable, and it only makes you look funny.  But people still ate that shit up.  What is wrong with people? Cindy McCain, lime frikkin green is out this year, hon.  And every year.  You’re not a synchronized swimmer, hon.  Geez.

Everything is so close in the poles but so different in standing that it seems like, no matter what side you’re on and who you think is right, about half of our country is either crazy or stupid.  (I can’t help but think that way when I see people cheer for some of the drivel that they cheer for.)

Or, if you’re watching from the middle or the outside, everyone is crazy or stupid.  Which I somehow find a much more attractive and comforting alternative.
