Email on Sarah Palin
Posted by Lissa on September 5, 2008
Bookworm responds to an anti-Palin email (her comments are in red). A taste:
Prior to her one year as governor of Alaska [uh, that would be two years as governor], she was mayor of Wasilla, a small red neck town outside Anchorage.[There’s that redneck thing again. How snotty is this writer?] The average maximum education level of parents of junior high school kids in Wasilla is 10th grade. [What’s that got to do with being mayor? This is one mean spirited writer.] Unfortunately, I have to go to Wasilla every week to get groceries and other supplies [I actually suspect it's that, unfortunately, those poor Wasilla citizens have to deal with you], so I have continual contact with the people who put Palin in office in the first place. I know what I’m talking about. These people don’t have a concept of the world around them or of the serious issues facing the US. [So because he doesn’t like the grocery clerks, she’s saying Sarah is . . . something, something, too earthy? too hard working? too polite to give this unusually snotty person the kick in the ass she deserves?] Furthermore, they don’t care. So long as they can go out and hunt their moose every fall, kill wolves and bears and drive their snow mobiles and ATVs through every corner of the wilderness, they’re happy. I wish I were exaggerating. [They sound like ordinary Americans who do not live in New York, Boston and the San Francisco Bay Area.]
RTWT. What’s funny is that I’m willing to bet the author of this email is a PC-oriented person, yet has no problem heaping contempt on people that aren’t like her/him.

I’ve found that people who say “I know what I’m talking about,” usually do not know what they’re talking about.
