Much Ado About Nothing or Miss Direction
The news is being dominated by the food fight between the Palins and David Letterman about his comments referring to their daughter (which one is still in question). I will grant you his joke was in very poor taste, but the Palin’s, with the media’s help, are turning this into a globally important battle. Please! Between the two of them, bad taste and poor judgment abounds and who cares. Iran is having a monumental election, North Korea may react belligerently to U.N. Sanctions, and we are focusing on an overblown food fight that is all about political posturing? No wonder we can’t have rational discussions about important issues and our future.
I listened to Chris Mathews describe how Palin might be a force in the Republican Party in the future after conservative Kathleen Parker laid out why she is not leadership material. As always, Chris confuses form over substance. She can take a pretty picture and with a script she can rile up the radical right, but based on her stand on issues and the thought she demonstrates behind them, there is no brain power there. There is no there there. We are in real trouble if we get another George Bush in office.
Note Vine/Wine will be late, but sometime this weekend.
