If you’re a political junkie like myself, you probably heard the howls of outrage and indignation from conservatives when vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s experience was questioned. Having been governor of Alaska for a mere twenty months, people wondered if her previous position, mayor of the small town of Wasilla, Alaska, was a meaningful preparation for being vice president of the United States. Foul! cried Republicans. They accused us of being anti-small town, or elitists, or something. They suggested that we just didn’t like reg’lar folks.
Well, just in case you allowed yourself for a moment to believe that this complaint was genuine, it’s not.
As a bonus, that video clip also exposes the disingenuousness and hypocrisy of their next complaint–that we Palin opponents are sexist.
