Whatever the result of the November election, Sarah Palin is the scariest politician to appear on the national scene in a generation…<\/p>\n

Like many demagogues she has demonstrated an ability to wrap a right-wing extremist message in the language and imagery of working class populism to Orwellian levels – and she and her handlers are very, very good at it – so far, anyway.<\/p>\n

MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT!! This is a VERY dangerous development, whatever the result of the November election!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She can also make some killer flap jacks!! (note the use of 2 exclamation marks, which denotes actual fear, excitement or psychosis not properly signified by the use of only 1)<\/p>\n

Again it is entirely possible that the whole thing could fizzle or implode. For the sake of the country and the world and the future of humanity, I certainly hope so.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For the sake of the country, the world and the future of humanity? What about animals, Gaia, the Romulan Empire and Charlie the Unicorn? Would they not also be threatened by a VP Palin?<\/p>\n

And seriously, are you telling me that Palin strikes more fear in your heart that Cheney? Thank you Douglas Carpenter, now go do that voodoo, that you do so well!!! (Three exclamations this time as I am up in cheering in my office, tears unashamedly streaming down my face at the patriotic dissent of this valiant man.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
