VP

Howdy friends and neighbors.  I’m so sorry about my absence the last two weeks.   I didn’t have much good to say so I just didn’t say it.

 

Governor Sarah Palin, what else do I need to write this week??!!!  I love this Bible thumping, gun carrying, moose gutting, caribou hunting, snowmobile riding, ice fishing, lipstick-wearing bulldog, hockey mom beauty queen from the great state of Alaska!!!!!!! I am now excited about “Decision ‘08.”  Before Palin, there just wasn’t anyone out there that got my motor running in this upcoming election.  Well, not to put down the great community organizer, Zeus-Obama, but he is about as empty as the social-insecurity checking account.  Oh, but he did pick a running mate form the all-so-unpopular US Senate.  I think the US Senate is up about half the approval rating of Bush.  Add them together and the score still wouldn’t get you a “D.”  But until McCain announced his running mate, we were going to get more of the same old crappy DC Senate crowd.

 

My motor is revved up now.  I listened to her first speech as McCain made the announcement and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.  It sounds like this lady has cleaned house in Alaska.  Five kids, a husband who works in the oil field and owns a fishing business, plus her oldest son is in the US Army and soon to be deployed.  Her youngest baby boy is what I consider an angle on earth.

 

Oh, but lets pretend we are bobble-head media and try to make her look bad.  She has a 17-year-old daughter that is un-wed and pregnant.  Ok, pick up your stone.  Her husband had a DUI when it was invented twenty-some years ago.  Better get a wheelbarrow full of rocks.  My question to the left-wing liberal media is: if Governor Palin’s daughter would have an abortion, would she then be accepted?  Oprah, Ellen, and Katie would fist fight over who could have an exclusive.  Oh, come on, she’s from Alaska.  No one lives up there.  Yep, she is just Governor of a state that has about half of the landmass of the 57 lower states.  Ask Obama.  In a speech in Oregon, he said he had been to all 57 states and had one to go.  But he hadn’t been to Hawaii or Alaska because his staff wouldn’t let him go.  Yep, the Democratic nominee, the possible next Commander and Chief, thinks there are 60 states in the USA!!!!

 

I truly look forward to seeing Governor Palin take on Biden in a debate.  She has real experience and Biden has been in a do-nothing Senate since before Al Gore invented the Internet.  Did you know that about half way though Palin’s speech at the Republican National Convention, her teleprompter broke? It kept scrolling while she had to stop for applause.  She gave the last half of her speech from memory and note cards.  I think she is just the candidate most Americans have been looking for.  In a previous article I stated that surely somewhere in the whole US there must a good ol’ boy or gal worth voting for.  Well, it’s a gal and unless a big skeleton comes out of a closet, I’m voting for her.  As for McCain, well in all the leadership classes and conferences I have been too, there is one common factor among great leaders.  Great leaders always put the right people in the right places.  Plus, in my opinion, if we were to be attacked by who knows what, I believe McCain would be looking for a fighter jet to hop in and go to battle while Palin would rally her NRA buddies.  And Obama and Biden would be asking where the Presidential bombproof bunker is.

 

On another subject, we lost a great singer and actor last week, one of my all-time favorites, Jerry Reed.  He played “Snow man” in Smokey and the Bandit.  He recorded the famous songs East Bound and Down and When You’re Hot, You’re Hot.  Singer-turned-actor Jerry Reed, known as “The Guitar Man” of country music, died at age 71.

 

I’m Monte Tucker, and that is what’s under my “Palin for VP” hat.
