"It's hard to be that inarticulate unless you have brain damage, Little Hawk. Try it and see what I mean."
Heh! ;-) Well, I'm not sure what you are alluding to exactly. Do you mean that Sarah Palin is inarticulate?
Look, I don't like Sarah Palin at all as a candidate for VP, and I wouldn't vote for her, but I still think the song is totally obnoxious and that it betrays a kind of smug arrogance in itself that is just as bad as what it is leveling criticism at.
It's like the kind of thing that a little clique of nasty "popular" girls in High School would come up with to deride some other student they felt didn't rate in their glorious little peer group...like those girls in the movie "Heathers".
Conservatives form snide little sniping groups like that and attack liberals. Liberals form snide little sniping groups like that and attack conservatives. The small-mindedness is clearly evident on both sides of the fence.
I don't see why either one of them should get away with behaving like total jerks toward each other.
I'd rather see an election won on the basis of worthwhile ideas and policies rather than on the basis of hatred and contempt.
