I think I still am a public figure in my own little town, although I don't hold office any more.<BR/><BR/>Private stories going public isn't really that bad, and it's sort of expected, really. But what' bad is when your private stories who up your public opinions to be stoooopid.<BR/><BR/>Like the fact that Palin actively supports abstinence-only ejumacation. AND she has a pregnant teenage daughter. Duh.<BR/><BR/>That story hurts. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I think the stupidest thing about McCain's pick is that Palin said yes. I would have turned it down. Reasonable mothers of five with that little experience would have turned it down while expressing extreme gratitude at having been considered. That she said yes tell me that she's too stupid and ambitious for her own good.Suisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08005006529585506127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8741443.post-3626234547203067492008-09-01T12:22:00.000-04:002008-09-01T12:22:00.000-04:00No, no, anon, to be a real cheetos cruncher you mu...No, no, anon, to be a real cheetos cruncher you must point out that Obama's middle name is Hussein.

I shouldn't click, because I've been spending far too much time online reading articles as it is, but I know I'll be reading it next. <BR/><BR/>All of it makes me alternately shake my head and say WTF? From the seeming lack of a background check to how absolutely inexperienced she is. And as much as "inexperienced" is thrown at BO, at least there is the real sense that he knows what the offices of VP and Pres actually do and what will be expected of him. Palin? Not at all. It's mind-boggling to me.meljean brookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135527993507471830noreply@blogger.com
