Sarah Palin appeals to those who want to go back to some 1950s white sitcom where everyone spoke English, guys were guys and gals were gals, everyone hung out at the diner after the sock hop, women were happy to be just MOMZ, there were no coloreds running around getting all uppity and everyone ate Wonder Bread and drank Ovaltine. Those were the Good Ol' Days.

It doesn't matter how many gaffes she makes b/c Joe and Marge Six Pack think she's one of them, the REAL Americans who love their country and all the whiteness it has to offer.

Basically all you need to know is this:

Barack Obama is not “one of us” (and never will be because he's black and got breaks he doesn't deserve).

Joe Biden is not “one of us” (because even though he was born one of us he spent “all them years” down in the Senate while Marge Six Pack was packing baloney sandwiches in the lunch bucket for Joe).

John McCain IS “one of us” because even though he has 12 houses and like 50 cars and millions of dollars and went to fancy schools, he promises to wipe the ragheads off the map so “we” can live happily ever after. Plus he's going up against that uppity colored boy who ain't never done nothing in his life except be a race pimp aka community organizer.

Sarah Palin IS “one of us” because she's a WORKING MOM (but aren't all mothers “working moms”?) and she wears banana clips in her hair and goes to church every Sunday and she's not like that angry black bitch Michelle Obama who hates white people and got breaks she didn't deserve.

What I want to know is how the hell her performance can be spun as a “win” considering all the concessions and conditions that had to be made for her in order for her to participate in political discussion AT ALL?
