Yes, that's why the latte-swilling masses dislike you.

Hewitt asked Palin her reaction to the “extreme hostility” that she has faced from liberals.

“Oh, I think they’re just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying you know what? It’s time that a normal Joe six-pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency, and I think that that’s kind of taken some people off guard, and they’re out of sorts, and they’re ticked off about it,” she said.

You're right, Governor Palin. We don't know what it's like to have Joe Six-Pack as the VP. We just know what it was like to have him as the actual president for the past eight years.

O_o Well, and the thing is, she gets all ~offended like Couric's suggesting she's a giant hick, but it's not like she then rattles off a giant list of media sources. She just gets snarky.

I'm glad that, as a Canadian, our elections tend to be a little more about the issues and our candidates tend to be a little more informed, or at least that's what they try to focus on (though we are headed away form that as the States has).

I will say, however, that our elections are not nearly as entertaining as yours. I seriously cannot imagine a leader of one of our parties saying these things and not being either encouraged to resign or just laughed right out of their position.

If only. Sigh. I'm pretty sure elections aren't supposed to be "entertaining".

Despite all the humour her lack of knowledge, experience, credential,s etc. provides, it still worries me greatly as a world citizen that the Republicans still have such strong report even in light of such complete and utter blatant idiocy.

Uh, yeah. Imagine living here. o_O I'm actually worried about McCain winning the election, and I feel like with this kind of stuff showing up in the news on a daily basis I shouldn't have to worry about that. (And understandably, Palin isn't the presidential nominee, but McCain's just a lot more subtle about his idiocy...which isn't saying much.)
