Rednecks vote: Patrice Lewis defends 'unwashed masses' from Obama-supporting snobs

I received a forwarded e-mail this week entitled "A View of Sarah Palin from someone who lives in Alaska." The ostensible author of this piece (a woman named Jackie) was "horrified" by McCain's pick.

The e-mail (allegedly addressed to her fellow students at Bryn Mawr College) starts by saying, "The most accurate description of [Palin] is redneck." A couple of paragraphs later she writes, "Prior to her one year as governor of Alaska, she was mayor of Wasilla, a small redneck town outside Anchorage. The average maximum education level of parents of junior high school kids in Wasilla is 10th grade. Unfortunately, I have to go to Wasilla every week to get groceries and other supplies, so I have continual contact with the people who put Palin in office in the first place."

OK, I know this is just a bogus front written by someone desperate to get Obama elected, but the deeper issues are evident.

The discrepancy between the edu-snobs and the rest of us has grown so large that in some cases Ivy League graduates find themselves unable to make polite chitchat with their plumbers. William Deresiewicz writes, "… because these schools tend to cultivate liberal attitudes, they leave their students in the paradoxical position of wanting to advocate on behalf of the working class while being unable to hold a simple conversation with anyone in it." He further adds, "… an elite education inculcates a false sense of self-worth. … There is nothing wrong with taking pride in one's intellect or knowledge. There is something wrong with the smugness and self-congratulation that elite schools connive. …"

Putting lipstick on Obozo

Democrats have spent weeks accusing Gov. Sarah Palin of lying about her pregnancy and accusing her daughter of lying about her pregnancy and attacking Sarah as a bad mother and comparing her to Pontius Pilate, Islamic radicals, a whip-wielding dominatrix and to "lipstick" on a pig. Now Democrats say they're ready to take the gloves off!
After a difficult week for Obama, which followed a difficult week for Obama, Reuters reports that the messiah "fired back" at John McCain with "new ads" mocking McCain as old-fashioned and "out of touch". Obama has been rattled and flustered in the weeks since "out-of-touch" McCain picked young Sarah Palin for VP, eclipsing the messiah's choice of a 66-year-old windbag (whose name escapes me) as his assistant messiah.
Obama campaign honcho David Plouffe, heralding the new ads in a memo sent to "reporters" (or, as I prefer, Democrats with press passes), wrote that "today" was a historic day -- "the first day of the rest of the campaign," in which the effete Ivy League lawyer Obama 'takes off the gloves', which makes this the fourth time this year.
Almost half the voters in a new AP poll say Hussein lacks the proper experience to be president and he now trails McCain in almost every poll despite those Greek columns erected at his Temple coronation, so now his campaign geniuses have come up with another idea -- running ads accusing McCain of not using a computer and not knowing how to e-mail. No doubt this will electrify voters! Accusing someone who can fly fighter jets of being too dumb to use a computer is a real winner.
Plouffe revealed in his memo that the reason they're going after McCain's lack of computer and typing skills is because "this election is too important and the challenges too big to spend the next 54 days talking about trivial non-issues."
But Obama's opposition researchers apparently were so deeply immersed in an even 'bigger issue' -- how long has Bristol been pregnant? -- that they missed the real reason McCain doesn't e-mail or use a keyboard: The barbaric treatment he got at the hands of his Viet Cong captors.
While Obama's oppo A-listers were busy trying to determine the size of Bristol's belly, the Drudge Report on Friday unearthed a Boston Globe article (dated March 4, 2000), which read: "McCain gets emotional at the mere mention of military families needing food stamps or veterans lacking health care. The outrage comes from inside: McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes. Friends marvel at McCain's encyclopedic knowledge of sports. He's an avid fan -- Ted Williams is his hero -- but he can't raise his arm above his shoulder to throw a baseball." Obama is apparently too dumb to use Google.
Looking at the big picture, meandering from issue to issue aimlessly and tossing laughingly refutable charges against the wall, as Obama's doing, is what happens when your campaign is fully engaged in meltdown mode. And everything keeps backfiring. The dumb, fading celebrity says he wasn't thinking of Gov. Palin when he made his 'lipstick' remark, which got hoots and hollers from his audience. Every major newspaper had "LIPSTICK" in very bold print across its front page the morning after Palin's speech at the convention, but Obama wasn't thinking of Palin at all when he said 'lipstick'! No, no, no -- he was thinking of McCain.
(Back in May, Obambi had a sissy fit because Bush had used the word "appeasement" in a speech before the Israeli Knesset, which Obozo assumed to be an 'attack' on him, even though Bush never mentioned Obama anywhere in his speech. Obama mentioned Palin repeatedly in his speech on 'lipstick' which supposedly was not about Palin.)
At a campaign event in New Hamphire yesterday, Obama had another sissy fit, accusing McCain and Palin of 'distracting' him with lipstick. "They've been talking about lipstick and they've been talking about pigs!", screamed Obama, who can't seem to stop talking about lipstick or talking about pigs.
By week's end, Hussein's lackeys at the New York Times were hard at work investigating Beehive Beauty Shop in Wasilla, which Gov. Palin patronized for the last six years. They're carefully probing and analyzing Palin's hair locks because "hairstyles help answer the voters' throw-down question: 'Who does she think she is?'" (Joe Biden's question: 'Is that her own hair?')
Then the NYT drops this bombshell: "During Palin's appointments, Mrs. Steele [the beauty salon owner], divorced and financially stressed, confided in her client. 'Sarah was always saying that GOD WAS IN CONTROL and to HAVE FAITH THAT THERE IS A REASON FOR EVERYTHING'"!!! And, in even further horror to the NYT, Mrs. Steele said "'We would say it together.'" S c a n d a l o u s! Worse than Palin's war crimes against courageous moose.
Things lately have been going so swimmingly for McCain/Palin, even totally 'unbiased' and 'impartial' Charlie Gibson is frustrated, the poor little thing. Billed as Palin's first solo interview, Palin was so in command that by the end of the thing it looked more like Charlie Gibson's first solo interview, ever. Gibson flubbed the Bush Doctrine, blundered through Palin's past statements, and had not yet found out that Reagan won the Cold War. But! Too scripted; no foreign policy experience; a paltry two years in the current job -- but enough about Charlie Gibson.
The problem with the Democrats' lame-o 'inexperience' meme is that Palin has gobs of executive experience, in contrast to Obama, whose primary qualification for president is that he voted to stack up hospital utility rooms with dead babies who initially survived abortion. Yet another reason why Obama will be giving a concession speech next November.
Anyway, that's...
