The Vet who did not vet

A Dr. Seuss style telling of the McCain and Palin tale:

It's about damn time.

Racists line up to see Palin in Ohio

Al Jazeerah visits the Palin stump speech in Ohio, (dear Allah).



The real story is not that these people are stupid, we all know that, it's that they're talking to Al Jazeera about this stuff.

Stump Speech Sarah

So I went down to the Lee's Summit McCain/Palin rally, and was stunned to see such a large multi-state turnout (people from as far as Ohio came). Palin, of course, gave the same stump speech with all of the same embellishments and distortions for the election game-show that she and McCain are now playing. Afterward, I took some Q&A with the Obama protesters, and McCain counter-protesters and whipped this little 3 minute video together.

The video runs like this: 90 seconds of Palin's speech all snipped up, and then the reaction outside. I posed a few questions to the audience, mostly "what does it mean to be (your party affiliation) to you today", and tried to get "are you better off now than you were 8 years ago" -- people were really reluctant to touch that question, but one did.
