If Sarah Palin is so righteous and brilliant and statesmanlike, why is it that she is so lacking in a characteristic as simple as tact?
I've been sort of out of the loop lately. Life overwhelming attention to current events kind of thing. But I really don't need to see anything more than the 'crosshairs map' and the use of 'blood libel' to understand that she really is an unthinking, uncouth kind of person. Insults from the press and 'liberuls' aside. In this context, it makes the fact that I vehemently disagree with her politics secondary.
She's a boor. A female boor. And I wouldn't support her regardless of what party she belonged to.
They used to say: you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
A sentiment a long time now forgotten.
