And Political Fraudsters.
I gotta gal named Daily, she almost drives me crazy.
It is one thing for a spokesperson like the ubiquitous Mr. Gibbs to say what the President says or may be thinking about something with the implicit qualifier-I am not the President.
It is quite another for an entire media rush campaign to be built on the faceless facebook and tweeting frenzy of an out of work Hollywood script ghost writer channelling Palin. http://www.politicsdaily.com/2011/01/13/sarah-palins-secret-asset-cyber-messenger-rebecca-mansour/?icid=maing%7Cmain5%7Cdl1%7Csec1_lnk5%7C36604
What-you thought that half century old moose-hunting, anti-conservationist, oil and gas PTA girl was hip enough, adept enough and savvy enough to work all the social media by herself?
Why this is so disturbing is that we have no clue who Palin really is because her personality is now a meld-merge of a Lebanese-American daughter of Midwestern professor living in Los Angeles with too much disposable time on her hands. What less than a hundred thousand can buy you in Los Angeles these days! What we do know about her is the malapropistic school yard bully we actually have seen-the one held back a few grades before she was allowed to graduate so switched schools about four times.
Not that all campaigns don't have staff- like that guy from "organizing America" who sends out mass emails to half the country, sometimes with the signature of "Barack Obama" at the bottom (really? I'm sure.)
But when a faceless nameless for the most part unsigned person proposing to be Palin sends things out pretending to be her aren't we traversing in the "Unauthorized Practice of Politics" category a bit? A lawyer can give an assignment to a paralegal and the paralegal still signs it - Jane Doe, paralegal to John Smith, or when a secretary signs off on some letter, they use the
______/s/_______ to signify that it was signed for him/her sometimes.
But in the brave new world of electronic political posing and facebook forgery, creating entirely new personalities seems a bit of a con game. But call me old fashioned. Will the real Moron please stand up. That is why I think that lots of people who saw that Palin video couldn't believe how inappropriate it was- it actually shocked them she was so off tone. "Blood Libel" is actually something a Maronite Christian Jesuit Professor (the ghost-writer's father) would know a lot about. Palin on the hand (scripted even) wouldn't know the first thing about how inappropriate the reference was in that context. Let me sound a little Jesuitwitty she probably thought.
I wonder if the progeny of six million slaughtered Jews and survivors thought it appropriate to compare telling her to tone it down and shut up to their holocaust. As my Jewish friend/quasi-mentor said "Hmmmmmmmm, shall we commission a study. Hmmmmmmm."

Oh, and I love that a Divorce Attorney no one heard of practicing in the middle of nowhere appalachia-shenandoah Virginia incorporated or is registered agent for service of process on her PAC - a DIVORCE lawyer- good family values there. Making a living off people's crumbled marriages and lives -and the occassional incorporation of wingnut PACs.
