"So like, I totally watched the RNC last night. I mean, really, could you believe that pep rally?  It was soooo cool, and i don't know about you, but I'm TOTALLY voting for Sarah Palin Home Coming Queen 2008!!"

 

In 1984 Palin came in second in the Miss Alaska competition, but won the Ms. Congeniality award. Ms. Congeniality my ass (no one does it better than Sandra Bullock..HOT!).  Sarah Palin's speech last night successfully got the Republican troops fired up (did anyone else notice the abundance of white, blonde haired, Stepford wives in the audience? No?  Just me?  Okay...moving on) :), but the speech had as much substance as an episode of Project Runway.  I think we can also agree, there was nothing "congenial" about it.

I have to admit, I did enjoy the first few minutes where the speech writer fell asleep and the 60's band the Byrds took over. 

 

"The voters realize there is a time for politics and a time for leadership....A time to campaign and a time to put our country first."  To everything turn turn turn, there is a season...turn....turn....t....where was I?

 

I also very much enjoyed the camera man getting a shot of her daughter spit slicking her sweet brother's hair down. That was probably the most honest part of the entire night for me.

 

I did a little research on Palin after her speech.  Since I, and most of the country, had never heard of her before, I figured it would be best to educate myself.  As stated before, she was a beauty queen runner up. It reminds me of the Monopoly card that said "you won 25$ for second place at the beauty pageant."  My brother used to say, "and you were the only one there."  I also read that Pallin smoked pot when she was younger but "didn't enjoy it."  I can't imagine the "munchies" would be a good thing when you're trying to win the "swim suit competition" in Alaska.  Its always hurtful to come in second to Wally the Seal.  I would imagine the marijuana smoking didn't just stop in the teen years. I mean really....who names their children Track, Trig, Piper, Willow and Bristol? (Puff puff give.....).

 

On a more serious note (oh who am I kidding...let's continue), Pallin believes in abstinence only education.  Apparently education doesn't start IN the Pallin home according to her pregnant unmarried 17 year old daughter. *in my best Chuch lady impression* Well now isn't that special.

 

And for those of you that don't believe she has enough experience, doesn't her sport's reporting in 1988 count for anything?? "John, why don't we just do a play by play on this one.  The Congress takes the bill.   What's that John?  Good question, I'm not sure if that bill started in the House or the Senate. Let's look at the instant replay.  Looks like its a Senate Bill, John.  LOOK AT THAT!  The committee is supporting the bill! I don't think I've ever seen that happen.  Looks like there's a hand-off back to Congress.  Congress is moving.  John, it looks like Congress is going for the White House.  They are!!!Going....GOING...G..oh noooooo John it looks like, IT IS!...Presidential Veto!!!  I didn't see that one coming. Oh wait....yes I did."

 

The one thing I do hope people remember when they are voting is that, God forbid anything ever happened to John McCain, Sarah Palin becomes the Commander and Chief of the United States Military, otherwise known as the President of the United States.  Don't get me wrong, I'm sure when she was in charge of 25 Police Officers as  Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, population, 4, she got plenty of experience with Armed Forces.

 

And last but not least, and most importantly, why...oh why, did Tina Fey have to quit Saturday Night Live before Sarah Palin got a Vice Presidential nomination???  I mean really people, if last night wasn't a live SNL skit, I don't know what is......
