I can't stay away from the subject of Sarah Palin. I've been looking at the trashiest stories, too. Nothing to do with her stands on important issues (or if Alaska's proximity to Russia means she's got experience with foreign issues). Some of my conclusions from the wading into useless dreck: She's far better looking than she was when she did sportscasting. Say what you like about her, I think she's pretty. She's probably got the sort of charisma that gives me the willies. A lot of people who are considered inspiring make me want to escape their presence. A form of jealousy? A sense of inferiority? Maybe. Anyway, from the reports I've read, she's supposed to be the sort of person who makes you feel as if she's listening to you and cares about your opinion. She's got a room-filling presence. Eeearrrgh. All of that sounds just like what they said about Bill Clinton. I never particularly paid attention to the fact that Hillary is female--sure
Oy!
ReplyDeleteTruly this is getting beyond what can be excused with a giggle and a cutesy chagrined 'my bad'. It's time for the grown ups to own up and be accountable.

somebody needs to take the sharp knives & tongues away from the children and let the adults take over.
ReplyDeletethere ARE adults in there.
somewhere...
Tee Hee Hee, how about a slice of this delicious humble pie?
ReplyDeletenah, there'd be wide-spread mockery and snorting no matter what they wrote.
ReplyDeleteA quiet little note is all they should bother with. There was one from Allison Kelley making the usual rounds.
I think that what's happening is that we are seeing the adults come out to take control. There's been too many missteps over the past year -- and that's only what I could see from outside since I didn't re-up with RWA until last Monday -- and I think there's a concerted effort to get things back on track before the new board comes in. Gayle Wilson sure has a large job before her.
ReplyDeleteI would really love to have been able to follow this series of events from start to finish...from the inside.
