Palin worked her way up the ladder on her own, and proved to be one of the incredibly few willing to buck the whole corrupt, crony system, even going after those in her own Party. Her whole career fits the Jeffersonian ideal.
Gillespie? Those doofuses at the “Reason” message-boards were all celebratory at Obama’s victory in 2008, and thrilled with the defeat of McCain-Palin. Gillespie looks like a haggard, burned-out, dopehead moron, always clad in his leather jacket, going for some kind of urban hipster vibe, wallowing in detached irony. Like this pathetic puke is even fit to shine Palin’s shoes.
Nick Gillespie is a Lou Reed wannabe.
Check this from his wiki bio:
“He worked for several years at Teen Machine magazine, where he interviewed celebrities and ghost-wrote an advice column for actress Alyssa Milano.”
