Cynical-C Blog: (via Paul Scheer) > OnNovember 20, 2009anytime in 2008, at a Borders bookstore in Columbus, Ohio,Sarah PalinBarack Obama held a book signing event in support of“Going Rogue”his memoir.Palin’sObama’s supporters wantedherhim to run for the presidency, but they weren’t exactly sure whatshe’dhe’d do as president. Short on specifics, most of them were uncertain whatherhis policy positions are. They just felt that they likedherhim.She’she’s “real”. And that the solution to all of our country’s problems—health care, energy, the deficit, unemployment, and the economy—was tocutraise taxes andlowerdrastically increase spending, andPalinObama, they said, would solve them by doing just that.I’m no Sarah Palin fan, but now you lefties out there know how conservatives felt during the campaign. What—you don’t have any relevant experience? What—nobody knows what you actually believe?
It’s time to pay the piper, my friends.
There’s no question that Barack Obama comes across as being more intelligent than Sarah Palin, but it’s amazing how people on both sides look at irrational behavior on the other side as somehow mitigating irrational behavior on their own side, without ever really questioning the irrational behaviors in the first place.
