Because I'm too tired to think after then…

Speaking at a Right-to-Life fundraiser in Ohio, everyone’s favorite ex-Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, defended her use of the now-infamous crib notes scrawled on her hand during her Tea Party Convention speech several weeks back by saying:

“If it was good enough for God, scribbling on the palm of his hand, it’s good enough for me.”

She explained that statement by citing Isaiah 49:16, which apparently makes reference to God engraving something on somebody’s palms or hands. One question, Mrs. Palin:  Really? You’re going to attack Barack Obama for using a teleprompter and then try to explain your own less-dignified use of notes by citing the Bible? Is there no low to which you will stoop? I suppose not. I actually don’t know why I’m surprised by any of this, because I think most of us have a pretty good idea of what kind of person Sarah Palin is. Of course, her vast, un-thinking throng of followers who are mesmerized by her every move were quick to defend her and condemn the “Liberal media” for blowing this story out of proportion. *sigh*

Also in the news this week regarding Wasilla’s most famous resident was the revelation that Palin’s family used to “zoom” across the border into Canada to take advantage of that country’s universal, single-payer health care system. Now, Palin’s detractors have been attacking her left and right for this, calling her a hypocrite for once utilizing a system that she was so quick to condemn. Normally, I would do my research on the story and jump right in on the criticism, but after conducting my research on this particular story, there isn’t much to say. Yeah, it would be hypocritical, and I would love nothing more than to lambaste her for this, but it happened back in the 60s, and it was her parents using the Canadian system and not necessarily her. Plus, she was all of five or six years old, and nobody that age develops any kind of political ideology, unless they’re being brain-washed or something. Therefore, I’m going to refrain from criticizing the Great White Winker for this particular series of events, but I’m sure she WILL do something soon enough that I can make fun of.
