When I grow up, I want to be just like Doug Giles

Regular visitors to my blog know I appreciate the talents of talk show host/columnist Doug Giles. The guy is just way too talented.

Everybody’s talking about Sarah Palin, and with good reason.

Let’s see. She’s run a state, the largest in the nation. That means she’s put together budgets, looked over state agencies, been in charge of the National Guard. Still want to play the experience card, Messiah?

She hunts.

She fishes.

She loves her husband.

Her husband loves her.

She has a son in the military.

She’s pro-life.

She’s pro-special needs kids.

She's a hockey mom.

She’s a former star athlete.

She’s a former beauty queen.

She’s va-va-va-voom!

Enter Doug Giles.

Giles writes in his latest column:


“Sarah Palin is hotter than Georgia asphalt (and my wife doesn't mind me saying that 'cuz she too is muy caliente).

I feel very confident that Palin will be able to hold her own with Biden in the upcoming debates. Matter of fact, he'd better wear a cup and hope to God she doesn't mention how obvious his micro mini-grafts are.”


Read why Giles likes Palin “besides her looks and Bulldog attitude” in Giles’ latest column:

“If Bill Clinton Could Juggle Five Chicks, Sarah Palin Can Manage Five Kids.”


JOHN McCAIN IN HIS OWN WORDS

That's one heck of a resume.  Glad to know Palin's, "pro-special needs kids" and "her husband loves her".  I'm feeling much better about the pick now.  In other news....water is wet and the sky is blue.

"She’s run a state, the largest in the nation."

Does she get double bonus points for total state acreage or something?   If so, then Biden's in real trouble.

I'll bet that Palin has extensive foreign policy experience because of her state's proximity to Russia too.

For a party that has focused on having "experience" in the White House, you establishment guys sure seem to be giving Palin a free pass because she's, "hotter than Georgia asphalt".  Where is the consistancy here?

Gee, Josh, instead of making silly, sexist commentary like the sleazy left, why not be insightful just once on my blog and tell everyone reading why the Obama-Biden ticket is so much better.

The problem here, Kevin, is that it's the right that's providing the sexist, uninsightful garbage, not me.  Do you think that referring to Palin as, "hotter than Georgia asphalt", and providing verbal diarrhea like, "Y'know, there's nothing worse than having a woman hand you your own testicles in a fight. And that's exactly what Palin did to the Jobama ticket Wednesday night at the RNC", is insight commentary? Does that kind of stuff make her fit to be V.P.?  Not in my world.

The fact is the GOP is using Palin because she's an attractive woman that shoots guns (see Giles' column as a quick example).  Fine by me.  That's politics I guess.  But then, when the press actually asks her a tough question, the McCain people accuse the media of being sexist.  You can't have it both ways.  If you want to use her sexuality as a weapon, than you better stop whining when the press wants to know where she stands on issues like teen pregnancy, the "bridge to nowhere", Alaskan secession, "God's" War in Iraq, etc.

My main issue with Palin (among others things) is that she was plucked out thin air by the GOP when McCain's real choices were denied by the party.  You'd have to be an idiot not to see why she was chosen.  Let me give you a hint, it has more to do with her being, "hotter than Georgia asphalt" and less about running the second largest state in the nation (that one's still great).

Whether or not the Obama-Biden ticket is better than McCain is up to voters but I will say this: I would feel more comfortable with Joe Biden as President of the United States.   I'll write it again, I would feel more comfortable with Joe Biden as President of the United States.  He's actually been in the Big Leagues.  Just because you come from a small town, take your kids to hockey practice and have a catchy nickname like barracuda, doesn't make you fit to be 2nd in command.  It's makes you a gimmick.

But you're voting for McCain? (That's what you said on my other blog).

Do me a favor. Between now and November 4th, just keep quiet, ok? :)
