Are we underestimating Palin?

[Scam of God]

Sarah Palin is a whiny, self righteous, passive aggressive, obnoxious blow hard who has a dangerous lack of political knowledge and political savvy, making the possibility of her becoming a political force on a national level frightening, not just to people on the left of the political spectrum, but on the right as well. The only people who take her serious are the uneducated masses and people on the right who know better than to take her seriously, but think that her talent for whipping up a hateful frenzy in the uneducated masses will help them to manipulate people's fears and gain control from the Democrats once again. Remember when Obama was "paling around with terrorists?"

When she's not manipulating neocon voters who have no grasp of reality and appealing to them with her "gee, golly gosh, I'm just a regular ol' hockey mom in Carhart's, you betcha'!" routine, she's being paraded around for her sex, as though she's the only female politician in the United States, even though there are plenty on the left and the right and everywhere in between with much more experience, education and egos that they can keep in check. But the second someone wants to point out what a dumbsh**t Palin can be, she cries sexism, takes her ball and runs home crying about the big bully media.

There's more wrong with Sarah Palin as a politician than her obvious lack of experience and even basic knowledge. Her paper thin skin when it comes to the media and critics, her babyish attitude, her gigantic ego, her see through "small town girl who just doesn't get those Washington elitists" (*wink at the camera like you're in a goddamned beauty pageant*), and her polarizing presence, all contribute to why Sarah Palin is widely hated in this country. No amount of polishing in a few short years is going to undo that reality, and stepping down as governor right now, especially without a clear reason why, is only going to make her look even less competent, and on top of that, unpredictable. If she runs in 2012, I severely doubt she'll get very far, and that's something we should all be grateful for.

Sarah Palin, in short, is Christofascist scum, and her mindless droning supporters ought to be branded as such. I am tired of populism masquerading as fiscal sensibility.
