ramblings of a deluded media-savvy kid
So the greatest thing I read today in the news was about 'I'm-totally -about-to-kick-the-bucket' John McCain's choice for his Vice Presidential candidate. Sarah Palin is not only a woman, which totally re-vamps the female-in-office campaign precedent established by Hilldog Clinton, but also has a running sheet of notoriously bad shit which is almost as unfathomable as Malcolm X's. For one, she's got five kids, and one has downs syndrome. My cousin has this disease, and it's a fucking bitch on the family to deal with, even if it's your only child...so how can she manage all five and maintain a healthy marriage/lifestyle and be in the White House? Her 17 year old daughter is PREGGERS to her 18 year old senior high boyfriend, which kind of raises all these questions about teen pregnancy, abstinence and abortion that only American Parental groups give a shit about. But seriously, this woman's only other credential is that she is governor of Alaska. I didn't know Alaska even had the population to warrant a governor. More importantly, when McCain inevitably keels over and carks it, we are going to have a very loud, irresponsible mother running a country of 250 million people. That's a tad bigger than Alaska, folks. It's an interesting PR move in any case. Because that's the only reason I, my PR tutor and our whole class can fathom as the reason she got picked in the first place. Or maybe McCain is experiencing an onset of dementia. Hell, Bush has suffered from it since the day he assumed office.
