After a long and painful battle with terminal illness, Irony finally expired today when Sarah Palin said this:
"I want more debates, more vetting of candidates, because we know the mistake made in our country four years ago with having a candidate that was not vetted to the degree that he should have been."
I can't decide which is more ironic (real irony, imagine that): Sarah Palin believing someone hadn't been vetted enough, or believing that Barack Obama hadn't been vetted to the degree he should have been.
Seriously: what has come out about Obama SINCE the election? Jeremiah Wright was before. Saul Alinsky was before. The birth certificate was before. Hell, even that dude who claimed Obama gave him a blowjob was before.
You can make the argument that those things should have prevented people from voting for Obama, but you cannot make the argument that there was a bunch of stuff we have since found out about him that we didn't know - or "know" - before.
Everything that the right hates about Obama was either known before the election or has to do with how he has governed, which by definition could not have been known before the election.
Of course, I am applying
logic, facts and
reason here, which is a mistake.
PS That Rick Perry website is totally real, and I guarantee you that despite the attitude and... hopefulness displayed there it was not done by a child.
