Republicans Debate Their Future, Democrats Say Kiss Our Black Ass
Have you heard? The republicans are in a period of "soul searching." And by "soul searching" they really mean, "Who do I have to kill to be in charge here?" The answer, of course, appears to be everyone's favorite Special Needs Governor, Sarah Effing Palin.
Catch the body language when Governor Snowflake took the podium to answer some questions at the Republican Governors Conference? Texas Governor Rick Perry, looking like the abusive husband in a woman-on-the-run movie, actually elbowed Palin out of his way as he grabbed a hold of the microphone. The message was unmistakable -- she doesn't speak for us and she never will.
I couldn't help but think of that expression, often credited to Charlie Sheen, "You don't pay them to sleep with you, you pay them to leave." Obviously the reference is to prostitutes but it seems somewhat apt here. Watch any of these interviews with the various Republican pretenders to the throne and there is a text and a subtext in what they're saying. The text is some version of, "Sarah Palin's future will be decided by the voters." The subtext is, "Sarah, your money is on the dresser. You can find your way out."
And please, as you're gearing up to send me accusations of sexism, I'm not saying she's a hooker. What I am saying is that she was hired with only one qualification which made her relevant for the first fifteen minutes and has had us checking our watches every minute since.
Did you happen to see President Obama (I'm done saying "President-Elect) on 60 Minutes last night? If you did you probably found yourself cheering at his use of an actual subject and a predicate in each sentence. You probably noted these two "elitists" from Chicago remembering their first date in his car with the hole in the floor. How about a president who talks truthfully about the challenges we face? Or how about when he was asked what he's currently reading and he talked about the writings of Lincoln and FDR. Remember when Baby-Huey Bush was asked that question? He was reading biographies of baseball players and proudly told us he didn't need to read a newspaper.
So, to get back to who will lead the Republican Party in 2012? Who cares. You know what they say, once you go black...

Michael Seitzman,
This is the reason I've asked for an email alert each time you post.
I just know it gonna be good.
Well done, Seitzman. Well done.
And I thought the headline was funny enough! Hilarious! "once you go black..." I am ROTFLMAO!
You, my friend, are a Patriot. Lol.
YOU ARE THE BOMB!!!!
SHO NUFF!!! LOL!!
LOL! I had exactly some of those same thoughts watching the Obamas on 60 minutes. I turned to my husband and asked "Isn't it going to be nice to have an intellectual for a President?" If that makes me elitist, I don't care. I want a smart president.
"If that makes me elitist, I don't care. I want a smart president."
Amen to that!
Yes, it will be wonderful to have as our President, a man who can actually speak articulately, who understands the words he is using and knows how to listen and have a real dialog with someone. It's stunning after the last 8 years, isn't it? How did we ever get to be so fortunate?
Michael, you've outdone yourself.
Bravo!
Here's a sip of my latte to you Michael!! Cheers!!
You are my favorite blogger...you must live in my head!
Yes, it was comforting to see our President and his wife on 60 Minutes. They calm me down. The feeling of angst from the last two years of this campaign is finally dissipating. It will only be over when we stop hearing that nails on the chalkboard name you so aptly call Sarah Effing Palin.
You're so funny and sharp. I agree so much with your view.
I would like to read an article about separation on church and State, in the wake of the last outrageous and blatant influence of the Church into the social issues of California.
Why isn't the church worried at all to lose its tax exemption? Why this arrogance?
Thank you
They will never, in a million years, lose their tax exempt status. The ones with the power to question their behavior are afraid to do so for fear of losing even some of the many, many religious voters.
Thank you. Very blunt, but hilarious.
Obama and Michelle were refreshing last night weren't they. After what we've been through with that dumbo Bush, I look forward to the next eight years with the elite crowd.
I guess we can thank Bush for one thing!
