OUR SISTER SARAH PALIN'S ANTI-ELITIST CHARM
New York Post ^ | September 20, 2008 | RALPH PETERS

Posted on 09/20/2008 1:48:23 PM PDT by nickcarraway

I KNOW Sarah Palin, and so does my wife.

Neither of us ever actually met the governor of Alaska, but we grew up with her - in the small-town America despised by the leftwing elite.

One gal-pal classmate of my wife's has even traveled from New York's Finger Lakes to Alaska to hunt moose with her husband. (Got one, too.) And no, Ms. Streisand, she isn't a redneck missing half her teeth - she's a lawyer.

The sneering elites and their mediacrat fellow travelers just don't get it: How on earth could anyone vote for someone who didn't attend an Ivy League school? And having more than 1.7 children marks any woman as a rube. (If Palin had any taste, her teenage daughter would've had a quiet abortion in a discreet facility.)

And what kind of retro-Barbie would stay happily married to her high-school sweetheart? Ugh. She even kills animals and eats them. (The meat and fish served in the upscale bistros patronized by Obama supporters appears by magic - it didn't really come from living things. . .)

Palin has that hick accent, too. And that busy-mom beehive 'do. Double ugh! Bet she hasn't even read Ian McEwan's latest novel and can't explain Frank Gehry's vision for a new architecture. She and her blue-collar (triple ugh!) husband don't even own a McMansion, let alone an inherited family compound on the Cape.

And she wants to be vice president?

The opinion-maker elites see Sarah Palin clearly every time they look up from another sneering article in The New Yorker: She's a country-bumpkin chumpette from a hick state with low latte availability. She's not one of them and never will be. That's the real disqualifier in this race.

To paraphrase Reagan:

"In this present crisis, Harvard is not the solution to our problems. Harvard *is* the problem."

How many Ivy Leaguers are there at Faggy Foggy Bottom?

Cheers!

“...with low latte availability...”

Actually, the Palins frequent a coffee shop in Wasilla called the “Mocha Moose.” :-)

"Why does Sarah Palin energize all of us who don't belong to the gilded leftwing circle? Because she's us. We sat beside her in class. We hung out after school (might've even shared a backseat combat zone on prom night). And now she lives next door, raising her kids."

BINGO! She's girlfriend....

Sarah’s not a member of the elite class, and worse is a member of the middle class, and that, along with her pro-life viewpoint, is their primary objection to her, obviously and undeniably without a doubt.

Buck fever took quite a toll.

Once at my Dad's house we had some venison. When my niece heard it was deer meat from a recent hunt she was aghast! My Dad asked her if she thought the hamburger we had the previous week came to her from a volunteer.

Apparently, the writer never saw this or discovered the fact that Alaska has more coffee kiosks than Seattle. The best name yet? "Latte Dah."

As a matter of fact, the side of my computer is sporting its very own "PALIN FEVER" bumper sticker. (available at the Mocha Moose...)

I sincerely hop Governor Palin will survive the Establishment so bent against her. She may end up being Americana’s Joan of Arc!

She really is the light in this campaign isn't she. The leftist vermin react to her like vampires at sunrise. There is nothing evil hates more than plain goodness.

There is a coffee shop on every corner in Alaska. Even in the middle of nowhere, where there are no corners, there are coffee shops! We even had coffee in a shop floating in the bay near Homer. We LOVED it when we vacationed there.

Ya know, if she would just be willing to kill a couple of her babies, they would like her a lot more.

Sarah has a great accent and communicates better than any of the others, Dem or Repub.

“Dismiss all of us who remember how, on the first day of deer season, our high school classrooms were half empty ....” Here in rural "clinging to guns and religion" Pennsylvania (although just 90 minutes from the DC beltway) all the schools are CLOSED on the opening day of buck season. Can't get enough substitute bus drivers and teachers, for one thing.
