On Palin

[valarltd]

nebris has an article on how Palin is Aunt Lydia.

I don't want to hear her "tell her story." That drilling nasal voice with the thick accent just makes my head hurt. How in the world was this woman a sportscaster when she doesn't even have a trained voice?

I know her story.
She was the cheerleader in high school, the queen bee that everyone jumped for. The one the rest of us loathed, but knew if we crossed her, she would make out lives miserable. (in short: Cordelia Chase)
She was a beauty queen. With all that implies.
She went to five different colleges and finished with a degree in broadcast journalism without moderating that voice. (I'd rather listen to Phyllis Diller, once described as "80 decibels of tonsils and adenoids.")

What does she need to tell? Anecdotes about fucking hunting moose or raising kids? What does she think this is, the Wasilla PTA?

Her narrative doesn't interest me. She has coasted on her looks and male goodwill and sheer conniving for 44 years. Oh yeah, I know the type. I grew up around them.

(I'd rather listen to Phyllis Diller, once described as "80 decibels of tonsils and adenoids.")

At least Diller sounded annoying *on purpose.* Plus, she was hilarious.

I turned the debate off after 40 minutes. I just couldn't stand listening to Palin's whiny voice anymore. It was apparently from the first couple of questions that this was Biden's night. He had all the answers right in his pocket; he didn't even break a sweat.

I felt like saying to Palin, "See? This is what a seasoned politician sounds like. Go back to Alaska, you fucking poseur."

Palin reminds of the cheerleader at my high school who got everyone to do her homework and term papers and tests for her...and who ended up becoming the school salutatorian based on everyone else's work.
