House of Eratosthenes

It’s the Weekly Standard… conspicuously promoted by Drudge.

It would be a great “game change” — to use the term applied 4 years ago to Sarah Palin.

And — amusingly — it would be Obama taking advice from Sarah Palin, who just a couple days ago said:

[T]he strategists there in the Obama campaign have got to look at a diplomatic way of replacing Joe Biden on the ticket with Hillary. And I don’t want to throw out that suggestion and have them actually accept the suggestion because then an Obama-Hillary Clinton ticket would have a darn good chance of winning.

Don’t you love the role of Sarah Palin in American politics? On the sidelines… looming…

She’s completely unqualified, if by “unqualified” you mean saying things as they really are without a bunch of bullshit euphemisms. Which, let’s face it, that is what that word seems to mean in this day & age. “He really does drag down that ticket” — that’s “unqualified.”

After all, it was the “qualified” people who were lecturing us during the campaign four years ago, and soon after Emperor Barry’s inauguration, that we had some kind of “senior dignified elder statesman” in our nation’s second-highest office. How’d that work out?

It may give some people ulcers to read it in black and white, but it’s probably wearing on ’em a lot quicker having the knowledge slowly gnaw away at them without anybody assuming center stage and actually spelling it out…so I’ll spell it out…

Sarah Palin is smarter than Barack Obama. It has been proven, multiple times.

She’s more intelligent and she knows more than he does. There is His area of expertise, which is to give large audiences an impression of what’s going on that may or may not be at odds with the truth, to drive a pre-selected interest forward…there is her area of expertise, which is to really fix things, haul in catches of fish on a boat, build stuff, hunt wild animals and so forth…there is the overlap between the two, like having reality shows. She has consistently outperformed Him in all these areas. And, she calls her shots, too. After her enemies score some kind of victory, she comes up with some kind of a plan, defines the steps, executes them and reaches her goal, as opposed to President Soetoro just scooting along like a giant cow-catcher, hogging credit and deflecting blame…yeah, I, uh, made the “gutsy call” to take out bin Laden.

Watching Sarah Palin and President Obama interact, in any given situation, has always been a little like watching a coyote and roadrunner cartoon. And the President is not the roadrunner.

Meep meep!

Heard some coworkers, one supposedly relatively conservative … yesterday, talking about how they didn’t vote for McCain not because they didn’t like McCain (even the liberal has turned against Obama) … but because they thought because of his age he may die and we’d’ve had President Palin.

Personally, I think President Palin would be a fine President. Just because the snobs look down their noses at her … guess what, folks? She talks different than you do. Big deal. Smart woman. Right values. Won’t over-think us into a quagmire of inaction posing as action.

For all their claims of valuing diversity, what they mean is diversity they approve of.

Exactly. And what they seem to consistently miss, is that when they identify mental feebleness or sluggishness in someone who just happens to talk in a warbly voice, it makes them look — drum roll…unsophisticated. Yeah, them, not her.

This kind of grousing has always looked to me like an exercise in “You’re doing it because of how it makes you look, but if you knew how it really looked you wouldn’t be doing it.” It’s painful to watch.

But..but…more women credit Title IX for Olympic gold medals!
Of course, when it comes to the “Do the math” part of the equation….
