'Sit down, boy!'

This article from Dana Milbank in the Washington Post is more revealing and more repugnant than you'd think on first reading. And even on a first reading, there's plenty to loathe in there.


Re-reading the bit about the good ole 'folksy' folks who used a racial epithet towards a black cameraman, I found the 'Sit down, boy' comment to be the perfect summary of the entire Republican camp's reaction to the notion that Obama is about to hand them their ass on a platter.


(Did I mention she's 'folksy'?)


How dare he? How dare an 'uppity' black man threaten to beat their senile, hypocritical refugee from an anger-management programme and the vapid smile who's emptied her head and filled it with right wing cliches? He better know his place and 'sit down'.


(Oh and did I mention, she's 'folksy'?)


As the race threatens to swing further and further away from them, the nasty wing of the Republican Party - which, b.t.w *is* the Republican Party in its entirety today - will reveal just how desperate it is and just how low it will go. Well, we always knew it would go as low as possible - the only curiosity is in finding out how deep this year's sewers are.


(And by the way, did you hear, Palin's 'folksy'? I'm still waiting for the media to call her out on this schtick of spraying insults and epithets while using the vocabulary of a 10 year old and pretending that lack of intelligence is 'folksiness'.)


As for 'independents' and people who find 'Palin interesting', here's a mirror - take a good look at yourself.
