Quick political note

Okay, so I can define several different versions of the Bush doctrine, versions that would satisfy the entire political spectrum; fellows from the American Enterprise Foundation as well as the Center for American Progress would harrumph in agreement. Can I be vice president now? People who read the paper on a regular basis are asking themselves this question across America today. But I'm not going to get mad about the fact that I have at least 30 or 40 people who are more qualified to be vice president than Sarah Palin in my cell phone. Or the fact that I have at least 2 women who are way more qualified to be vice president than Sarah Palin in my immediate family. My mother graduated from Radcliffe, was second in her class at Columbia Law when there were like 3 women in the entire class, argued in front of the Supreme Court for the Solicitor General's office (once while pregnant with me!), fought crime and corruption for the Antitrust division of the Justice Department for 30 years, and she reads the fucking paper and knows what the Bush Doctrine is. But I'm not mad about that today. Because deep down, I'm just mad that Sarah Palin is winning. No, today I'm actually, seriously mad about the man behind the curtain.

Because if Sarah Palin is the A-Rod of this campaign (hated by those who hate her stupid fucking team because she is so good and she's going to make that stupid fucking team win another fucking time which is so fucking unfair), then Steve Schmidt is the Bill Belichick: hated because he is such an evil human being with a heart that is a small lump of rusty iron and with a brain that is a seething, wriggling mass of trickery and deception.

Just watch this ad, especially around 0:18, and tell me that they're not subtly accusing Barack Obama of whistling at a white woman.
