Diary of a Mad White Woman


The Daily Beast has obtained the concession and victory speeches Sarah Palin had prepared for Election Night 2008. A terrifying glimpse into what may have been... Vice President Elect Palin's victory speech:

"It’s been just 68 days since that afternoon in Dayton, Ohio, when Senator McCain introduced me as his running mate. He is truly the maverick. He took a chance on me. I will always be grateful for that. It will be the honor of a lifetime to work him
[sic] as vice president of the United States. And I pledge to govern with integrity, and goodwill, and clear conviction, and a servant’s heart."

I'm no constitutional scholar (then neither is Palin), but the job of the vice-president is not to 'govern'. Was she intending a bit of usurpation while old man McCain napped through his first term?

Even though Cheney assumed much of the power Bush was too lazy or dumb to handle, the role of veep largely consists of providing a tie-breaking vote in the Senate, waving at people and generally hanging out in case the C-in-C takes a dirt nap. Even though things might be bad now, just thank your lucky stars we don't have Sarah Palin presuming to 'govern' us.

And check out this ironic sentiment:

"By his nomination and extraordinary campaign, Barack Obama has achieved a great thing, for himself and for our country, and for that America will always honor him."


And haven't Palin and her herd done a great job of honoring Obama? To reuse one of my favorite metaphors, this b*** is more full of s*** than the restroom at Taco Bell.
