Insufferable sarcastic politicians

From Politico:

"Ms. Palin needs to be reminded that Jesus Christ was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor."

I think if you had Rush Limbaugh read Sarah Palin's speech, it would have seemed completely in character. Which is to say, snide, semi-hypocritical, and content-less. Why hasn't the economy been mentioned one single time at the RNC?

The other thing I can't stand is the fact that if Chelsea Clinton had a child out of wedlock, conservatives would be all over Hillary. It would be damning evidence of Clinton moral bankruptcy, etc. etc. etc. But when this woman's 17-year-old daughter gets pregnant, somehow she's mom of the year? What? And her motherhood seems to be her major "qualification" here!

I guess being a "maverick" means that teen pregnancy is now AOK in the Party of Moral Rectitude and Family Values (this goes waaaay beyond "flip-flopping"). There, see how easy sarcasm is? Even an Alaskan could do it!

What a BUMMER! My head hurts.
