Packaging Bullshit

When I was informed by Nora O'Donnell of MSNBC news this afternoon that there were nearly a thousand requests for Sarah Palin to speak for 6 figured salaries a speech I was reminded of something my father told me decades ago. He said that Americans would buy shit in a pretty package wrapped with a bow.

After listening to her speeches during the 2008 presidential campaign right through her resignation speech as Governor of Alaska I must say that in the last 50 years no presidential candidate or vice-presidential running mate has consistently sounded so utterly stupid, so ignorant of the world in which we live than Sarah Palin.

Seems like the old man was right Americans indeed will indeed buy shit or in Sarah Palin case - bullshit as long as it packaged right. Doesn't say much for the future of the Republic when stupid people like Sarah Palin are paid 6 figure salaries to ramble and rant about that which they know so little.
