While I don’t want to divert attention from today’s thorough repudiation of eight years of neoconservative, fundamentalist Christian wingnuttery, it has to be asked: what the frell were 104000 Alaskans thinking when they voted for Senator Ted Stevens (and likely re-elected him), when he’s just been convicted of seven corruption charges? Very short memories, sheer bloody-mindedness, or – as I suspect – blatant ignorance?
Geez. And people wonder why I have so much contempt for backwards, rural communities.
Do you really have to ask? Two words: Sarah Fucking Palin. (OK, that’s three.)
