Sarah Failin'

DONKEYS!?! She couldn't find a scarf with elephants on it?

I just couldn't resist stealing this from my friend Patsy's blog. I don't know where she finds them, but she comes up with some of the BEST photos! And, since I planned to rant about Sarah again, even though I have promised at least twice before that I was through talking about her, I couldn't stop myself. Evidently, I lied like a rug.

Well! It didn't take the Hockey Mom-Maverick-Reformer-I Love America and You Don't Girl long to jump on the old gravy train, did it? $150,000+, compliments of the RNC for a wardrobe, makeup and hairdo can do wonders for the Republicans' answer to Eliza Doolittle (giving credit to Chris Matthews, here. I'll steal from anybody, and admit it. ). I guess Walmart, K-Mart, Penneys and Target aren't good enough any more.

And, yet, when we see her speaking at rallies, she is wearing the same old rags, dark skirt, blouse/jacket and heels. She either has five identical outfits or she's washing them out by hand in the Super Eight each night. So, where does she wear all these Neiman Marcus and Saks outfits?

If you ask me, and you didn't, but that's neither here nor there, the RNC needs to spend a few dollars on Sarah's behalf to buy her a copy of the U.S. Constitution so she can bone up on the two duties of the Vice President. Then, maybe then she wouldn't embarrass herself and the Grand Old Party, saying she plans to expand the V.P.'s duties beyond the original ones and the other ones she aspires to, i.e. running the Senate and helping make policy.

I have a sneaky feeling that the Senators jealously guard their exalted positions in the government. Oh, they might be polite enough to listen to one or two of Sarah's ideas at a cocktail party, but when it comes to formal policy meetings, she'll be surprised to find the door firmly closed in her face.

In other news, apparently Sarah has finally agreed, albeit ungraciously, to release her medical records. It remains to be seen if this it accomplished before election day, and if they are complete.

In the meantime, Sarah's running mate, is trying to get over his latest Senior Moment in Pennsylvania. He said, "Obama is saying some pretty nasty things about this part of the state. (Cheers) and I couldn't agree more." (Huh?) He tried again, "And, I don't disagree." (Silence) and, one more time, "And, I don't agree." (more cheers)

At another rally, McCain used his convoluted reasoning to condemn Obama for wanting to reward corporations with tax credits for creating new jobs and/or bringing jobs back to the U.S. McCain apparently sees this as Socialism, or spreading the wealth around. And, all the time, I thought HE thought that giving the middle class opportunities to make a living was bad and giving corporations money was okey-dokey. I'm so confused.

But not as confused as McCain.
