Tina Fey as Sara Palin [video]



Here's a good/full version of the skit, featuring Tina Fey as Sara Palin and Amy Poeler as Hilary Clinton.

Regardless of your personal opinions on social issues (we can agree to disagree, and still attempt to respect each others beliefs) I find it scary to think a that many conservatives are willing to suspend common sense when it comes to Palin.

Facts. She doesn't believe global warming is real. She doesn't know what the "Bush Doctrine" is. She was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party which since the 70's has been pushing to secede from the rest of the United States. This is just the tip of the iceberg and I won't bother to go through her questionable/hypocritical stances on social issues here.

But I must say this.. Expecting that she should be handled with kid gloves, just because she's a woman, plays in to the very stereotypes professional women have been attempting to shake off for years. Painting her as the victim when she is confronted with tough, fair, serious questions also ridiculous. You can't have it both ways.

Please exercise your right to vote. I am positive that the youth vote (or lack thereof) will be the deciding factor during this election season.

I blog about two dystopian scenarios on this blog post Election 2008 "A Real Nightmare"

These are some really far fetched scenarios but I think some of my criticism, especially in regard to the McCain Campaign, are pretty fair before the stories become surreal

She is a very scary person. There was a conservative Writer for the NY Times was on Bill Maher and defended Palin throughout the entire dialog which made me extremely scared. I cant believe that people have faith in this person to be the next vice president. It will be a scary election day and I will do my part to make sure that she isn't elected VP.
