82-Year Old Grandma Calls Palin What She IS

October 5, 2008 · Posted in Election 2008 

One of the reasons I love talking to strong women older than me: They don’t mess around with the truth. They call it as they see it, probably because when you’re 82, you don’t need to worry about what other folks think. Life is, after all, too short.

82-year old Helen, over at Margaret and Helen blog has a few observations about Sarah Palin:

She leads with this:

Governor Palin is a stupid, conniving bitch. And it’s not because she is a strong woman – I like strong women… worship them… It’s actually the opposite. She is a weak, pathetic woman who thinks big hair, winking, baby talk and self deprecation is somehow becoming of a woman who wants to lead the free world.

See, that’s it, right there for me. Well, that and her complete lack of qualification to step in if John McCain can’t finish his term. But Helen doesn’t stop there…she goes on to really put truth to the lies:

Fact: Sarah Palin is stupid. Maybe not stupid by Alabama standards but stupid enough that she managed to get herself elected Governor while never bothering to educate herself on little things like the Constitution, foriegn affairs or appropriate debating practices. She is stupid enough to have accepted a VP nomination for which she is completely unqualified and stupid enough not to admit it – even though the future of our great nation could be irreversibly damaged by the decision.

Go read the rest. And then leave her a comment, answering her question:

When exactly do we all get to call “bullshit”?

I’d like to know that, too, especially in light of Palin’s reckless, ugly, crap-filled comments yesterday.

    Keep on telling the truth grandma. You called that "reckless" poser bitch out. She is the worst type of woman and the worst example of our capability, intelligence, strength and values. She's a neglectful mother, who has been exploiting her special needs son and pregnant daughter for sympathy and political gain. And now at every rally she has her other young daughter standing behind her (even during the school week).

    It's clear, the this is just a self centered, manipulative and opportunistic woman who shares the same fundamental character flaws and obsession with power, as her running mate.

    I weep for America, at the idea of her winning. Not only because of the impact, that sham of an administration will have but how she has already adversely affected the perception of women. She will undoubtedly serve as an excuse than men will use again and again, why women should not be in politics? Undoing all the good work of Thatcher, Bhutto, Albright, Reno and other great female political figures.

    Sarah Palin is nothing but a farce, a cartoon and a hypocrite. She's dangerous for America and Americans. She is our biggest National Security Risk and should be considered a terrorist who shows her ease at using fear, lies and rhetoric on the American people.
