(81,385 posts)Welcome to the big time, kid.
The higher you rise, the more of a target you make yourself. The higher your profile, the less you can get away with, because more people are starting to notice you, and seeing you, and watching you, and keeping track of what you say, and checking into it to see if it actually holds water (and yours DON'T and never did - but back home, you didn't have the big audience with lots of other things to do than simply drink you in and worship you without question. All you ever had was the locals who'd swoon over your folksy schtick and fall for your big smile with all those pretty teeth).
You're in the major leagues now. And THIS is what comes with it. There are MORE eyes and ears turned your way, and MORE critical thinking. And MORE objective audiences who look at you more objectively, and will check you out more dispassionately, and discover more quickly that you're nothing but a FRAUD.
I'm surprised sarah palin didn't realize that. You can fool 'em back home more easily than you can fool all of 'em in the big leagues. Actually... I take that back. Really NOT surprised. Her ego's so damn big it won't let her see the reality out there. Not then, not now, not EVER.
And for joni, well, just because you can castrate hogs back home doesn't mean you can neuter the critical thinking of a majority of Americans. You're no Rebecca and this is no "Sunnybrook Farm."
