Jack Rabbit's Warren

When a right wing talk-show personality says this is just to say "thank you," it's time to grab your wallet and get out the hip boots.

No one but Sarah Palin "Dan Quaylized" Sarah Palin. She didn't know what the Bush Doctrine was when asked by Charlie Gibson. Other than Roe v. Wade, she could name a Supreme Court decision. Her idea of foreign policy experience is the ability to see one God-forsaken island in the Bering Straight from another about four miles away that happen to have an imaginary line running between them. She had a vague idea what duties the Vice President is given by the Constitution.

Come to think of it, we would never "Dan Quaylize" Sarah Palin. That's an insult to Dan Quayle.

I'm sorry, Mr. Williams, but I expect the Republican nominee for Vice President to be able to ace a high school civics exam, and I am convinced that Sarah Palin could not.

I don't know what your agenda is Mr. Williams and I don't care. If you want to spend millions of dollars thanking a loser without any qualifications for the office she sought, don't let me stop you. It's your money, after all.

In case you didn't notice, Mr. Williams, yours and Mrs. Palin's meme of the "real America" versus the "fake America" took a beating on election day. There appear to be about eight million more of us fake Americans than there are of you "real" ones. Yes, I am an American who voted to elect Barack Obama president; Barack Obama didn't buy my vote, he earned it.

Also, I don't recall any election where you ran for some office that gave you the right to set in stone what a "real American" is, let alone won that office. To paraphrase President Obama: There are no real Americans; there are no fake Americans; there are only Americans.
