I checked this article because Faux News was incensed about it, and wanted the Canadian government to forbid such insulting writing on a site paid by Canadian taxpayers (the CBC is supported by taxpayers). And I thought, if they are mad a Faux, it bears reading.

one paragraph:

"When Palin and Rudy Giuliani sneered at Obama's years of "community organizing" — they said it like "rectal fissure" — the audience ewww-ed with them. Republicans dream of a personal future that involves only household staff, not equals who need to be persuaded to vote. "

Some of my favorite snippets from the article:



Thank you for posting!

A couple more interesting paragraphs...



About the Republican National Convention...

Let's hope so.

Oh hell-- the whole piece was great-- every sentence a biting punch-line, all unto itself.

impregnating my 17 year old daughter.

"I know that I have an attachment to children that verges on the irrational, but why don't the Palins? I'm not the one preaching homespun values but I'd destroy that ratboy before I'd let him get within scenting range of my daughter again, and so would you. Palin's e-mails about the brother-in-law she tried to get fired as a state trooper are fizzing with rage and revenge. Turn your guns on Levi, ma'am."

Levi knocked her up making him a Alaska Hillbilly folk hero. He only has to beat her up a few times to seal his credibility with the rest of the trash. I can just see him and Todd slugging down a couple of six packs as they bond while disparaging Eskimos as Sarah's Arctic Arabs.

She writes for the Toronto Star, one of our last non-neocon newspapers.

I love this line, "a voice that could peel the plastic seal off your new microwave."

that is the difference between Republicans and Democrats

looking at the CBC site, Canadians are facing the same choice. Stephen Harper's Conservatives are the party of selfish self interest and the bigger big screen TV.

But surely they know Barack Obama is not planning to finish off the ordinary hillbilly when he adjusts tax rates. He's going to raise taxes on the top 2% of Americans and that doesn't include anyone at the convention beyond the Bushes and McCains and random party management. So why cheer Palin when she claims otherwise?

Is it racism? I'm told that it is, although I find racism so appalling that I have difficulty identifying it. It is more likely the dearly held Republican notion that any American can become violently rich, as rich as those hedge funders in Greenwich, Conn., who buy $40-million mansions unseen and have their topiary shaped in the form of musical notes.

When Palin and Rudy Giuliani sneered at Obama's years of "community organizing" — they said it like "rectal fissure" — the audience ewww-ed with them. Republicans dream of a personal future that involves only household staff, not equals who need to be persuaded to vote.

So I'm trying to imagine the pain of realizing, as they all must at some point, that it is not going to happen for them. It's the green light at the end of the dock. It's the ship that never comes in, gals, as Palin would put it. But she won't because the lie works for her. It helps her scramble, without compassion, above all those other tense no-hoper ladies in the audience.

American politics isn't short of smart women. Susan Eisenhower, Ike's granddaughter, who just endorsed Obama, made an extraordinary speech at the Democratic convention (and a terrific casual appearance on The Colbert Report as Palin was speaking). The Republican party has already consumed nearly all of its moderate "seed corn," she said aptly. Time to start again.
