sarah palin: the next generation of american stupid

I guess we’ve already seen the Biden/Palin debate. And, for some reason, there are a curious number of people who refuse to admit she is, without a doubt, a person without any business whatsoever running anything, anywhere, for anybody, let alone the most powerful country on earth.

Here are what the headlines at NRO read:

THE EDITORS: Gov. Sarah Palin, once again, confounded her critics with a strong performance. “Palin’s Triumph” 10/03 2:00 AM

LISA SCHIFFREN: She can’t win this for McCain. But from here on out none of the negatives can be ascribed to her. “Straight to the Swing Voters ” 10/02 11:39 PM

ANDY MCCARTHY: She’s the real deal. “Straight to the Swing Voters ”

A strong performance? No negatives can be ascribed to her? Does she create some kind of alternative reality field around her visible only to Republicans? Are they watching the same person I am?

I’ve seen NRO operatives like Kathryn Jean Lopez worship Palin’s lack of credentials up until this moment and thought it odd a quotient of Americans would actually think it’s a good thing not to read stuff. I’ve watched them fawn over the way she shoots wolves from airplanes and kills and dresses moose with her teeth. I’ve thought it curious the way they slavishly forgive the fact she can’t even handle Katie Couric interviews without coming off like a special needs student who got lost in the bathroom. Sometimes I think they’d be happy if the only responses she gave to any question were to light farts or shoot something in the face. But to think Palin came out of this looking like anything other than a terrifyingly unqualified also-ran is disturbing.

discoverthenetwork.org–the greatest web application in the history of the intertubes.

I have a new ambition in life. I want to be featured on DiscoverTheNetworks.org’s web application, which proves with the strongest proof allowed in Law, adjacent images, that Katie Couric is a vicious terrorist intent on destroying America.

Here’s how it works:

1. Open the application.
2. Type “Couric” in the search box and hit Enter.
3. You’ll see all the terrorism-related outfits, including the Columbia Broadcasting Company (CBS), linked to her with scary straight lines. Follow the line to CBS and click its icon.
4. CBS is affiliated with the Columbia School of Journalism. Click it.
5. The Columbia School of Journalism is linked to Nihad Awad of the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Click him.
6. As the line linking Awad to Hamas clearly illustrates, Nihad Awad is a Hamas operative.

Don’t believe me? Check it out for yourself:

Figure 1: Nihad Awad

These people are the real deal. Their logic is unassailable. And there’s no reason to think either the project or its financial and ideological backers, including head smearguru David Horowitz, are batsh*t insane. And as they have proven with devastating lines drawn right there on your computer screen, Katie Couric hates America and is working closely with Hamas operatives CAIR and CBS to destroy it. The more you know, heh indeed!

Personally, I’m going to do everything in my power to get my name listed there. I’ve got my heart set on one of those free tickets to Cuba. Katie, if we’re on the same flight together, I want to sit next to you.
