I just wanna give a shout out...


Did Palin give a shout out during the veep debate Thursday night?


Something just doesn't sit well with me about that, well actually about her whole performance. I know, what your thinking "but we knew she wasn't going to do well anyway." Who cares!


People, get upset! Sarah Palin practically made up her own agenda of topics to discuss Thursday night. In essence, I think its fair to say she may have Gwen Ifill beat as moderator. Why are we just taking it? Sitting their so primp and polite because we already had low expectations.


Palin made it very clear Thursday night that she was going to "keep it real" with the American people. Really? Keep it real, is this what real is to you? Someone who is running for one of the highest offices in our government but fails to answer any question with facts and anything that resembles a critically thought out response. This can't be...why am I the only one that feels disrespected, keeping it real for me is answering the question at hand, not talking about your Alaskan experience or what a Maverick your old pal is. Address issues I care about- education, the lack of governmental funding for school, the high price of a college education, how I am going to have to pay for the bail-out and still manage to pay off student loans which helped me get a degree helping people obtain health care when I may not even be able to afford it myself.




So, I just wanna give a shout out to Sarah Palin...if you're out there. Sarah, as much as I don't agree with your policies, your "drill baby drill" song, or your beehive of a hair-do, just pay the American people some respect and learn your "shit" (as a wise senior once told me during my freshman year of undergrad).


I would have so much more respect for you if you just represented women well, you have totally dismantled the concept of feminism and used feminist methods to destroy the very concept itself (but that's a whole other post). Lets face it, we all know you are not ready to be vice-president but haven't you ever heard of the phrase "fake it until you make it"...Sarah you still can't fake it and that's just not good.
