"George W. Bush, here and gone..

Dick Pohlman, "American Debate," Philadelphia Inquirer, Sept. 3, 2008

"...it's hard not to think of Bush when pondering Sarah Palin, who makes her debut tonight.

Nine years ago, when candidate Bush was dogged by the widely held suspicion that he was ill-traveled and didn't know much of anything about international affairs, he responded at one point by insisting that this was no big deal, that what he didn't know he could simply learn from his advisers (unfortunately, those advisers were people like Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz). And now we're getting reports that Palin, in preparation for her big speech tonight, is holed up non-stop with McCain advisers who are busy pumping her full of policy and talking points. I have little doubt that she will put on a boffo show.

The question is whether, eight years after Bush won the presidency in part because he related so well as an average everyday guy, voters will now be stoked for McCain in part because Palin simply seems like the kind of gal you'd want to share a mooseburger with."

Obama has exquisite fodder for his "More of the same," message.
But of course, she's attractive, a family woman, hard worker, and someone
you'd like a beer with (along with the damn mooseburger).

It's pathetic that the public fall the same crap that was dangled before
them 8 years ago. Put a dress and lipstick on Bush... it's Sarah Palin!

2. Never underestimate the stupidity of the American people

People have made millions because smart/slimy operators (RW media flacks, Rovian adherents, etc.) convince them that the pig in a dress with lipstick is really Marilyn Monroe or Heidi Klum or whoever, the same way that they put der chmip in a flight suit and convince people he's Lindberg. Now they give Gov. Gidget an AK-47 in one hand, a baby in the other and a flag lapel pin that would weight Cheney down and convince the masses that she is here to save the American Way from those dirty liberal abortionists while drinking a beer at the local tavern with a lumberjack.

People believe what they see and hear in the media. It's worked from the time of the Ceasars through Goebbels and right down to Rove. They count on the fact that people are too lazy or not educated enough or curious enough to seek out the truth or other viewpoints. It's a damn sad fact but true.
