Lessons in Obfuscation

John McCain must think Americans are complete imbeciles. Or, he has us (after all, I'm now one) nailed completely. I refer to his choice of a VP candidate in Sarah Palin. After all, it would be too grievous to suggest that John McCain is himself an imbecile. George H.W. Bush chose Dan Quayle, and look at how much fun those four years were. I'm sure everyone started brushing up on their Latin before heading off to Latin America once Dan was done. So now here we have the adorable Gov. Palin. In one way, her being a born-again Christian is almost a requirement for me to support her. Maybe that was her biggest credential. Or maybe its her ability to string together every buzzword and catch -phrase in a sentence and pretend it makes sense.

Here's a clip from Saturday Night Live - first the skit with the adorable in real life Tina Fey, and then the interview of Sarah Palin with Katie Couric.



Here is the full SNL skit. This would be hilarious, if not for the fact that the wording is almost identical with the actual interview.

I'm reserving my opinion for after the vice-presidential debates. But you're absolutely right ... the Couric interview was surreal and did make me worry.

Hee hee. That made me giggle but then its not my country! Mind you, our lot over here are very dire- at least you have people with a professioon of faith running for office over there.
