Not so funny anymore.
Posted by Kate G. in US Election 2008.
So, the Alfred E. Smith benefit dinner cut into my sacred hour of Rachel Maddow the other night. Initially, I was pretty upset. Then, I found myself trying my hardest NOT to laugh at McCain (who TOTALLY killed, I must say, to my chagrin). By the time Obama came up, I was truly enjoying myself, laughing away like it was a Friar’s Roast or something.
Then, Saturday rolls around, and there’s Governor Palin (aka Caribou Barbie), hammin’ it up on SNL. In my opinion…not that funny. But that’s beside the point.

I really cannot get over Sarah Palin and the blatant terror she causes in my little heart. At first, I thought she was harmless, but now I’m not so sure. In coming to grips with my fear, I was reminded of Donnie Darko and the line where decisions are based on either Fear or Love. While Donnie says things aren’t black and white like that, in this case, they seem to be. Sarah Palin lies out of fear. Fear her inadequacy will be discovered (too late!), fear her party will lose to a guy with the middle name Hussein, fear that Joe Six-Pack might wake up from his drunken stupor and realize that he doesn’t want a dimwit running the show… Similarly, I’m voting out of fear. It is well known that I was not a huge Obama fan coming into this final stretch, but since the introduction of Sarah Palin into this mix, I’m scared shitless. Everything about me knows that while Obama is not my ideal candidate, he’s also not straight up stupid, and therefore deserves my Pennsylvanian vote.

…am I the only person in love with Rachel Maddow on MSNBC?
She recently got her own show, The Rachel Maddow Show. Comes on right after my man Keith Olberman; for two hours every night now, I feel a little more connected and a little less crazy. Thank you, both of you.
But back to Rachel. Super-cute, super-smart, super-into-politics. My girlfriend and I frequently have to wipe the drool from our chins as we watch.
If you haven’t checked her out (though I’m sure I’ve done enough of it for all of us), you should. If she doesn’t float your boat sexually, her wisecrack, fact-based political commentary certainly will. MSNBC every night, right after Keithy-Keith.
Mmm.
