Occasionally I’ll hear from a person, or see a post on social, that quotes a political figure as if it’s expounding some great wisdom. When that quote comes from someone like Ted Cruz, Michele Bachmann, Allen West or Sarah Palin, I really have to question intellect of the person sharing the quote.
Yeah, we need to respect beliefs that we don’t agree with…but it’s very hard to do when the person you disagree with is sharing the wisdom of a character who’s about as deep as Captain Kangaroo, except the good Captain shared something flavorful and crunchy.
I wasn’t going to do a cartoon the Palin brawl. There hasn’t been much confirmation on the event. No charges have been filed. Most people involved don’t want to be quoted. And there’s no video. Seriously why is there no video? Every time a movie star has a wardrobe malfunction there’s a video. How in the Hell does not one person in a crowd not pull out a cell phone and film a drunken brawl involving the Palin family? Obviously the answer is smart phones have not made it to Alaska.
So there’s not much in the way of confirmation. However someone has been fired for talking about it and for the first time since 2008 Sarah Palin has kept her mouth shut about something. If you make a joke about her daughter making out with a New York Yankee she’s all rabid hockey mom pit bull on their ass.
If Sarah Palin put this sort of stuff on her “network” she’d have people other than journalists subscribing. It would be professional wrestling’s biggest competitor.
