Sarah Palin has produced, along with a gaggle of adorable children, a couple of quotable quotes about Hillary Clinton. Palin was discussing, in her imitable accent, Hillary’s primary campaign against Barack Obama. She apparently didn’t like all of Hillary’s whining about her treatment during the tough campaign.

“Fair or unfair, I think she does herself a disservice to even mention it, really. I mean, you gotta plough through that. You have to know what you’re getting’ into.”

“When I hear a statement like that coming from a woman candidate with any kind of perceived whine about that excess criticism, or maybe a sharper microscope put on her, I think, ‘Man, that doesn’t do us any good, women in politics, or women in general, trying to progress this country.’”

Since then, the McCain/Palin team has apparently changed her mind. Now, if the media even deign to ask her a question, it’s sexist. Renowned media softballer Charlie Gibson even overstepped his bounds by asking simple, straight-forward policy questions of her in her ABC interview.

There was nothing in that interview that many of my personal friends couldn’t have answered more honestly, clearly, concisely, and knowledgeably than Palin did. And, these friends of mine are not people for whom I would vote for *any* office! They’re fucktarded, but they do have a basic grasp of what’s going on in the world around them.

What happened to the ‘Daddy’ party? Gone are the days of toughness and individualism. Now, everyone’s out to get Sarah Palin, poor girl! The media, McCain’s self-described ‘base’ is, in his paranoid delusion, out to get him.

And, rather than caring about you fine Americans, your homes, your guns, and whatever else you cling to, McCain’s close friend and most influential economic advisor, Phil Gramm, says you’re a nation of whiners in a mental recession.

That’s easy for Phil to say, and for McCain to agree with. McCain, after all, says the fundamentals of the economy are strong.

The fundamentals of Phil Gramm’s economy are very strong. He’s a fabulously wealthy, Dr. Phil-sounding Toad Man. The fundamentals of John McCain’s economy are also strong. He married a rich beer heiress. It’s every man’s dream! He also has more houses than he can count.

He won’t lose any of them, either. People with that kind of wealth are safe and upwardly mobile in their position. Poor and middle class people lose their homes and business, and that’s just what happens in a fundamentally sound economy…I guess. Dildo.

So, yeah, middle class income must be in the $2 million dollar range.

It’s enough to make me whine, but if I whined, the Republicans would accuse me of being weak, pathetic, unwilling to pull my own weight (which, in my defense, is impressive), and, of course, a whiner.

When Republicans whine, it’s because the whole world is out to get them, poor bastards.

I feel so much compassion for born-into-power-and-privilege-and-marrying-a-millionaire McCain and plucked-from-tundra-obscurity-and-dropped-in-the-spotlight-because-she-shoots-guns-and-has-a-vagina Palin.

Yeah, life’s tough for the Republican ticket.

Poor bastards.
