A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
This is just too good. A few days ago the National Enquirer (now the standard bearer of the Fourth Estate) alleged an affair between Sarah Palin and her husband’s business partner.
Today that business partner, Steve Hanson, filed an emergency motion to have his divorce papers sealed.
Now we have word that Palin is leaving the campaign trail. Really! The pitbull with lipstick needs time off after one day in the public eye? This is her response to McCain’s call to stand up and fight??
Look, I don’t care about people’s affairs and personal family drama… except. This drama is coming from people who want to impose their narrow views of family on my own, and you know the Obamas would not be afforded any tolerance on one-tenth of the drama that McCain-Palin wants to visit upon this country. You don’t get to do that.
As Biz Markie said repeatedly at parties last week, “If you don’t want drama, vote Obama.”
John McCain had six months to choose a vice president. That’s more time than any nominee in history. He decided that Sarah Palin was the best America had to offer. Will he use the same thought process to appoint his cabinet and federal judges? Is he ready to lead?
Update: Motion to seal docket has been denied.
