"We wanna make sure that that VP spot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans and the things that we're trying to accomplish up here for the rest of the US."
-Sarah Palin, Governor, AK
I'm not entirely sure what to say about this, other than wondering a couple of things.
Like, has anyone explained to this woman that as Vice President, she would be morally bound to work for ALL Americans, not just Alaskans?
Like, why is it even remotely okay for the Vice President's office to be turned into a "fruitful position" for any one group in particular, any one state in particular, and how is even suggesting such a thing not crass and unacceptable?
Like, how does declaring one's desire to turn the second-highest position in the land into one big pork-barrel fest jibe with her claim to be anti-pork spending?
And last, not to say anything against Alaska, because I actually really love Alaska, but what exactly is that great state trying to accomplish up there for the rest of the US? New and innovative ways to fight off those pesky Russkies? Cindy McCain, for one, seems to think that's enough.
But I don't.
