The following viewpoints and words actually come from a Google chat I had with a friend of mine. As I have thus far kept this blog anonymous in general (although the only people currently reading it know me personally), I will keep it for this entry and not divulge the identity of the person with whom I entered into this exchange. Let me just say he is intelligent and articulate, and many of these words are direct quotes of his while others are mine. I have copied and pasted and modified tenses and voice to conform it to the tone and style of Incoherent Ramblings.
If you didn't see Charlie Gibson interview Sarah Palin (not that he didn't go out of his way to try to make her feel dumb), you need to. She proves how incredibly incompetent she really is. When he busted out the Bush Doctrine question, you know he was thinking, "I'm going to make you look like the stupid hick that you are. you ready?" He's all, "what do you interpret it to be?" like a Jr. high teacher or something. Charlie set out to destroy her (I'm sure the Obama Campaign rewarded the network handsomely for his valiant effort) and nearly succeeded. The sad thing, independent of his vigilance to make her look like a bimbo, is the fact that we saw enough of her to realize that she has some definite bimbo qualities.
I read an interesting article in a local newspaper saying how Mormons might need to think twice about giving Republicans unquestioning faith and support. The author was talking about how we (Mormons) always give them votes (especially in UT) even though their primarily Evangelical base jacked our chances of actually participating in the government by putting in Huckabee to screw up Romney and then once again passing up on Romney for VP. Kinda funny when you think of it that way. It really makes all the buy-the-book conservatives in Utah look like complete morons with their unwavering support for McCain. They seriously jacked Romney so bad though. You know he's pissed too. He'll probably buy Huckabee's church and make it into a Staples. If I were Romney I would try to figure out a way to donate tons of money to Obama through some complicated layers of entities so that no one can trace it. Some people have said things like he should try to be a member of the cabinet...but what position? He's not econy enough for Sec of Treasury. I think he should go make a ton of money and never talk to anyone about politics again...leave the running of countries to corvette-driving, lecherous, unprincipled geezers. He's too calculated to be a smooth-talking slick willy. I still think he would do the job the best: cut the spending, fire a ton of people. do gnarly stuff - but it won't happen. I seriously wonder how it would be though if we got a true CEO to do the job (president)? Like a Jack Welch or someone who knows nothing about politics to just go in there and start firing people and cutting spending. "FBI, we're closing you're division. You're not giving us positive ROI. You're toast. Department of Defense, you need to cut either the Coast Guard or the Air Force." Anyone for Donald Trump for president (I am definitely joking. Trump's put more money into eventual bankrupt companies than Al Gore has into carbon credits to combat his private jet and castle in Tennessee).
