If hypocrisy was distilled into a person…
… that person would be Sarah Palin.
She keeps doing the same thing over and over and they keep buying it. She’s not even subtle in her manipulation and she’s succeeding. I feel like I could very easily put folksy words along with hyperbole, fake outrage, and “easy fixes” to make a speech that would have the RNC following me to the ends of the earth… Hmmm… That’s not a bad idea. Let me start my speech.
“Hopey changey, Alaska, maverick, socialism, drill baby drill, war, lower taxes that will magically make our deficit disappear, fear, propaganda…”
Is it working? Are they behind me? You’re right; It’s not worth it.
Colbert says it best, as Colbert always does.
If I’ve learned one thing from Sarah Palin… it’s that Sarah Palin is always right and never does anything wrong of her own free will. People are just “out to get her” because she’s such a “radical thinker.” She’s a radical something, but I’m not sure “thinker” is the right word. Also, I’ve been using the word “satire” incorrectly this whole time! Who knew? Sarah Palin, that’s who.
