Doing Time at the Republican National Convention-Day 3

By Ron Kuby
So much more Sarah Palin news--every hour brings a different, scary, or just plain weird nugget.  Mayor Sarah Palin trying to ban books from the Wasilla library; then attempting to fire the librarian for refusing.  Sarah Palin on shock jock radio giggling while her opponent is called a "bitch" and a "cancer." 

Or Sarah Palin's pastor problem--her fundamentalist pastor announces that Alaska will be a refugee during the "last days," while Sarah Palin stands on stage.  Previously, he announced that critics of George Bush will go to hell (see u there--bring hotdogs).  Or Sarah Palin calling the faithful to prayer for a gas pipeline.  A gas pipeline???  Where is that in scripture.  Jesus had remarkably little to say about the comparative merits of gas versus oil, or even green technology, for that matter.  Oh, and Sarah Palin invoking the Allmighty in support of the Iraq War--now that's a change!  Or my particular favorite--Sarah Palin using her line item veto to cut funding for......................
teen pregnancy programs.  Cannot make this stuff up. 

Alas, as I mentioned yesterday on the show, it appears that the story that Sarah Palin was a member of the Alaska Independence Party, which supported secession with the catchy phrase Alaska First!, was incorrect.  Oh yeah, and George Bush told a half-empty convention, via statellite, that John McCain was ready to lead America.   

"Experience" doesn't always mean much!

Why can the Dems counteract the GOP's assertion that McCain/Palin is a better choice due to his/her "experience"? Since when does being in the same job for 20 or 30 years mean that you automatically have better judgement and/or ideas than a person with fewer years on the job? Likewise, having "executive experience" as a governor might be worthless as well. Just look at how Bush's "executive experience" as the governor of Texas helped us out!
