I wanted to take a few days to let McCain’s choice of Alaskan governor, Sarah Palin for the VP spot to marinate in my thoughts before I formally weighed in on the issue. Well a few days have passed and the consensus is that either Senator McCain’s choice was a stroke of genius or a grave miscalculation. Our readers are well aware that this is a conservative blog but in this one historical instance, we are supporting Senator Obama in spite of his progressive politics. In essence, his personal story and ability to breach this quintessential glass ceiling still manages to fulfill the core tenant of Black conservatism. In my estimation, Palin as VP appears to indeed be a miscalculation.
Instead of focusing on the Iraq conflict or America’s dwindling economic status, the media are having an OCD fit over the teenage pregnancy of Palin’s daughter, Bristol. And what happens to the conservative argument that Obama is too green (and no not environmental reference) to be POTUS when Governor Palin's resume is equally dubious? Perhaps we should take the high road like Obama and insist that Palin’s family drama should not be allowed to obfuscate the political process. Those are lofty sentiments but the media smells blood and I suspect that this story will be with us for a while. Does anyone remember the “baby mama” remarks that Fox News made about Michelle Obama? Where are they on this debacle? If this isn’t a candidate for a Maury Povich anniversary special, I don’t know what is! But never underestimate the ability of the lower tier cultural elite to say their piece (as opposed to remaining silent)-enter P. Diddy. Let’s hear from our informed readers-what do you guys think?
Oh here is video of the esteemed Mr. Combs doing what he does best-highlight his lack of intelligence:
Please, excuse the expletives.
