other hubris

i couldn't really place this in today's earlier post, but it's been bugging me since i heard it the other day: palin's being pranked by those canadian dj's.

taken alone, the call was funny enough. she sounded like a junior high school girl getting a call from the captain of the varsity hockey team (local jab for her, wink, wink.)

there is the complete lack of thought on the part of her staff to vet the call. she has professional shoppers and make-up people, but nobody screening her calls? her folksy informality of "hi, this sarah!", her ignorance of ANY of the give-away references that should have been her dime to the clue bus. johnny halladay, ffs!

as it's percolated for me though, what really bothered me was her in-the-dark hubris. all of france, and much of the world, is orgasming over the possibility of obama in the white house. why on earth would sarkozy call her to FUCKING CHAT?

they make me boiling mad.

record numbers of people have registered to vote this year. the last 2 presidential elections i woke up the day after to very bad news. i'll hold my breath til wednesday, tyvm. all i can do is vote.
