According to MSNBC, one demonstrator “managed to get through” and ignited the fury of John McCain and Sarah Palin supporters today in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. As Palin lied through her shiny teeth and McCain drooled on his crib notes a distant rumble of dissent could occasionally be heard but the crowd drowned out the words with shouts of USA and We Want [insert the speaker’s name here].
McCain finally admonished the protester (but not the mob) for shouting.
Sarah Palin’s Alaskonomics
By Michael Kinsley, Time.com, 9 September 2008
Sarah Palin thinks she is a better American than you because she comes from a small town, and a superior human being because she isn’t a journalist and has never lived in Washington and likes to watch her kids play hockey. Although Palin praised John McCain in her acceptance speech as a man who puts the good of his country ahead of partisan politics, McCain pretty much proved the opposite with his selection of a running mate whose main asset is her ability to reignite the culture wars. So maybe Governor Palin does represent everything that is good and fine about America, as she herself maintains. But spare us, please, any talk about how she is a tough fiscal conservative.
