Political Theater 2008
I have much to say about the political theater that has been playing out over the last few weeks in the US.
I laughed, I cried, I fell in love ( with Biden), I watched a lot of PBS--cuz you know I like a little erudite punditry and well the historians as well and read many many many political blogs.
But it is late and I am on vacation--so more later. But I will leave you with this terribly witty comment off the WaPo blog The Fix I like so much.
"The 2008 version of the "Beverly Hillbillies". (In HDTV)
Come 'n listen to my story 'bout a family named Palin
A new politician, got the GOP a wailin"
And then one day, she was shootin' at some food (moose)
And up through the ground come some troublin news
McCain, that is, short and old, more of the SAME, Bush term number three
Well, the first thing you know, old McSame"s under a glare
The smart folks said, Sarah, you don"t want to go there
Said, Wash DC, is the place you ought not be
People loaded up the WEB with facts and hyperbole
Newzz, that is, camera crews, MSM stars.
Well, now it's time to say goodbye to Sarah and all her kin
They would like to thank you folks for kindly droppin' in
You're all invited back again to her locality
To have a heapin' helpin' of the Palin hospitality
Hillbilly, that is, set a spell, take your shoes off
Ya"ll don"t stay too long now, YA HEAR!!!!!
I loved the Beverly Hillbillies when I was a kid. Granny rocked the house. But this Palin woman is beyond the pale.
More late,about the rest of the political theater. I need to digest her viterolic speech and bring down my blood pressure And If you don't know who Bob Cesca is --he is godamned awesome!
