...So Did Ya' Get The Memo?

When the bar is set so low, there is no where to go but up. That's exactly what happened with the veep debates on Oct. 2. Failin' Palin's image consultants did a good job reminding her to make quirky comments (doggone it?!?), give a million dollar smile and brush up on her synonyms of vague words to divert from direct answers all at once. Luckily, we didn't lose our heads again and get caught up in the one or two decent sentences she threw out. But, at least we know the glorified "community organizer" knows how to multi-task, of course after belittling all the community organizers in this country. What a way to reach out to those hockey mom's Mrs. Palin. All I know is that of all people, Tina Fey should be commended for her expertise in mimicking Palin VERBATIM. After watching her first interview with Couric - of course when Papa McCain wasn't there to hold her hand - I recalled how my teacher in elemetary school used to help us expand our vocabulary skills in our English class. We would go through exercises where she would encourage us to use explanations, examples and comparisons when defining words and concepts instead of simply taking a short cut and using the word itself in its own definition. I believe I was in 5th grade, even younger. While I don't want to be too harsh on Sarah for mastering the skill of jibber-jabber (since a lot of other politicians beat around the Bush), I simply cannot wrap my head around her irrelevant and downright childish responses during her Couric interview. So now that I know jobs are created under the umbrella of job creation, and that if I wanted to go Russian-watching I can do so from any Alaskan residence, I can't wait to hear what else Sarah Palin has to offer.
