Palin Can’t Catch A Break

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Palin

I’m actually starting to feel sorry for her…

Palin was in the midst of blaming predatory lenders for the nationwide mortgage crisis when a large group of supporters in the rear of the crowd began demanding that someone turn up the volume on the event’s speakers.

They chanted “Louder! Louder!” in unison, drawing the attention of other audience members, who began chanting “Sarah! Sarah!”

The vice presidential candidate apparently mistook them for some of the anti-war protesters that have disrupted some of her previous events.

“I would hope at least that those protestors have the courage and the honor of thanking our veterans for giving them the right to protest,” Palin told them, drawing a roar from the crowd.

She then returned to her speech.

And scene…

Yeah, the house thing sounds EXTREMELY fishy, but at the same time if the corruption really is as blatant as it seems I can’t imagine that it wouldn’t have been uncovered yet. Guess we’ll see.

I can’t believe I’m actually wasting time talking about this. Seriously.

But, my guess is the crowd thought they were chanting “Lier” or something like that, and so begun chanting “Sarah”, which I understand is protocol for drowning out protests. Sarah, naturally, responded to the perceived protesters. I think we can all move on now. Nothing to see here. Crisis averted.

This is a nonissue. The sort of talk I am hearing, especially from liberal media and bloggers, has really started to turn me off to them. The glee in the crashing and burning of the McCain campaign and the over-confidence that the election is wrapped up is irritating. This election is still up for grabs, let’s focus on the issues.

Sure we’ll focus on the issues when the McCain campaign does. Lol. This is an issue though, because she’s prone to being a silly person and everyone likes to watch silly people do silly things.
