Sorry to litter the diaries list with something about Sarah Palin, but this was just too good to pass up.
In response to an ad by the Obama campaign lampooning Palin's claim that Obama hugging a law school professor/civil rights advocate back in 1991 meant that Obama wanted to take us back to pre-Civil Rights era race relations, Palin claimed, as the Hill notes, that this was -
"an example of Obama's "diversionary tactics" that "shows that our President sure seems fearful of discussing the economy, energy prices, and all the other problems people need addressed."
Well I know Mrs. Palin doesn't like getting weighed down by facts n' stuff, but it was Palin and her right-wing cohorts who tried to divert everyone's attention from important issues like the economy and energy prices toward the burning controversy of a video of Obama hugging someone back in 1991.
But that's not why I wrote this diary. Rather, it was this:
"I’m not running for any office, but I’m more than happy to accept the dubious honor of being Barack Obama’s 'enemy of the week' if that includes the opportunity to debate him on the issues Americans are actually concerned about," Palin wrote in a note on her Facebook page, posted late Monday. Palin was responding to a Web video fundraising for Obama that uses recent footage of Palin criticizing the president.
Palin also offered a challenge to Obama.
"I’m willing and free to discuss these issues with the President anywhere, anytime," Palin wrote.
The reason why I felt this was worth diarying was because the notion of Palin debat -BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! Okay, okay, sorry for that, but seriously, in these very grave times, with important issues both foreign and domestic that we need to address, I think it's ridiculous that we should BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Alright, I'm gonna stop before I snort more coffee onto my keyboard and do lasting damage to company property.
