Amazing Ignorance
Palins naïveté puts the fear of God in all of us.
Sarah Palin has given her second full-length interview on American television. In the first one she was successful in provoking worldwide horror with her views on foreign policy. While they aroused no dissent, they did cause bewilderment because of her colossal ignorance. The subject this time was, predictably, the economy. What an Obama supporter so ominously said may well be true: anyone interested in politics should pray for John McCain to live forever, if for no other reason than to keep Sarah Palin out of the Oval Office.
The Republican candidate for the Vice Presidency has once more shown shes very knowledgeable about public image. She came off relaxed and confident. More importantly, she expressed her anger with just the right mixture of acrimony and authority. What will she make of that if shes elected? Thats hard to say. She intends to fight against cronyism and lobbyists and to put stricter controls on Wall Street. Furthermore, she shows an understanding for the fact that the American people are fed up with entrenched politics. Who can argue against platitudes like those?
Sarah Palin wouldnt get specific on the subject of economic policy. Anyone not impressed by her pretty smile as she talked of possible military confrontation with nuclear powers like Russia must have really had the fear of God put into them by her bland naïveté concerning economic policy. Has it really come to this? Has the political establishment become so boring in America that snide remarks are enough to ensure electoral victory? We'll just have to wait and see. What we already know is that John McCain showed the world a monumental disregard for the most powerful office in the world the day he chose his second-in-command.
