Aftermath

I had spoken earlier of Republican efforts to blame Sarah Palin for the fact that they were trailing in the polls. Well, after the election, it seems to have gotten worse. Republican aides are coming out in droves to talk about what an idiot she was. How she apparently couldn't name the countries in North America, and didn't know that Africa was a continent, not a country. We already knew Sarah Palin wasn't that intelligent. All they're doing now is slandering her. It's useless now. Instead of placing the blame where it belongs, on the aides and on John McCain, they're using a scapegoat. They believe that she wants to run for President in 2012, so they're trying to sabotage it. It's useless. In four years, no one will remember this, except those who already thought little of her. And her response isn't much better. She's calling them jerks. Which seems pretty harmless against the stuff they're putting out about her. If she really wanted to show us her intelligence, which she should if she ever wants us to vote for her, then she should come up with really smart insults. Go to Shakespeare or Oscar Wilde. They have some good ones. This is getting ridiculous.

Also in the aftermath, Barack Obama is promising swift and decisive action against George Bush once he takes office. He's going to use those executive orders apparently. And all Bush is saying is that he's going to meet the President Elect, and that there'll be a peaceful transference of power. I'm not sure why he's saying that. I mean, does he think we were expecting him to go out kicking and screaming? He knows there's nothing more he can do. We know that he knows this. So saying things like that is pointless.
