My last post on Sarah Palin (hopefully)

I was at the physical therapist today and next door they are demolishing a building. All that's left is a wall in front, so that if you just look at it quickly for a moment you might still think there was a building there, but if you spend any time at all looking, you'll see it's clear that all that's left is the wall in front, and nothing behind it. That's what Sarah Palin is like. She's the "potemkin candidate". She's got catchy slogans and sound bites that sound good, but there appears to be nothing behind it. Only recently did she even agree to give an interview to a member of the press. If she's so great, what are they afraid of? She (and the attention surrounding her) also reminds me a little of Chauncey Gardiner. Everyone projects on to her what they want to see, but she's actually an empty shell.

The last thing I'll mention is about the media "hubbub" surrounding her and her kids. It's pretty tiresome to hear her and the McCain campaign complain about the treatment of her daughter's pregnancy, when the campaign is busy shamelessly using her son with down syndrome and her son going to Iraq as props to score points. As far as I'm concerned, she's opening her whole family up for scrutiny by politically using her own children in this way.
