Palin-hater Quicky
Referenced from CBS’s Katie Couric interview of Sarah Pathetic.
Couric: In preparing for this conversation, a lot of our viewers … and Internet users wanted to know why you did not get a passport until last year. And they wondered if that indicated a lack of interest and curiosity in the world.
Palin: I’m not one of those who maybe came from a background of, you know, kids who perhaps graduate college and their parents give them a passport and give them a backpack and say go off and travel the world. No, I’ve worked all my life. In fact, I usually had two jobs all my life until I had kids. I was not a part of, I guess, that culture. The way that I have understood the world is through education, through books, through mediums that have provided me a lot of perspective on the world.
Okay, first of all, I watched the interview so some of my complaint might not be well understood without Palin’s inflection to translate my outrage—but holy shit! She made it sound like being young and adventurous (and having more foreign policy experience than she has) sound like a detestable condition that just should not be allowed in America! Secondly, she made it sound like people who travel and see the world don’t work. Who does she think she is?! I work my ass off to get the privilege to explore this wonderful world, and I’ll be damned if I just let Palin slide after insinuating people like me do not work. Jezuz, just hearing her talk about working over travel made me feel like she was lumping me in with a bunch of drop-out pot heads who refuse to get a job and are content to fester in someone’s basement, leaching off another’s pay check and growing fat! The nerve of that bitch! And if traveling is a “culture” than it way better than Palin’s American culture, that’s for damned sure! And as for understanding the world “through education,” the mysterious other “mediums” and “books,” I’m sorry, but the Bible and preDarwinian texts are probably the ONLY ones she’s ever bothered to glance at. How can she claim that her education and books had given her enough worldly experience over first-hand interaction with outside cultures?! I’m sorry, I studied Japanese culture for years, but I learned more in one year of living there than I ever had in the ten years of textbook infatuation. This idiot does not have a clue what she is saying. She has so little knowledge of the world that she actually doesn’t realize how stupid she really is! The extent of her worldly insight probably doesn’t extend through a few hours a week of the travel channel! She also spouted off a shit-ton of BS about the importance of Russia being so close to Alaska, but that’s a rant for another day. Thanks.
