Comic Relief: Sarah Palin on Egypt

The unfolding events in Egypt allow us a front row seat of history in the making, an undoing of failed US policy that backed and supported a tyrant who oppressed, imprisoned and tortured his people, while the US held the purse strings and remained silent. And, most importantly, the impact of the cell phones, electronic communications: the internet and social media.

Much like our overthrow of Mosaddegh, maybe we weren't right and maybe we weren't supporting democracy.

The implications of the events in Egypt remain to be written by the people of Egypt, one can only hope without CIA intervention to install another brute.

The implications are complex, as is the history, not easily reduced to sound bytes.

But reading and listening to the comments of Airhead Palin, now really folks!

Presidential material? I shudder!

Comic Relief: Sarah Palin on Egypt

Sarah Palin, in her first comments on Egypt, managed to make no sense at all. None. I especially liked her “not, not real enthused about what it is that that’s being done [in DC].” Here’s the full quote, which sounds like it was written by Miss South Carolina, speaking for all “US Americans”:

“And nobody yet has, nobody yet has explained to the American public what they know, and surely they know more than the rest of us know who it is who will be taking the place of Mubarak and no, not, not real enthused about what it is that that’s being done on a national level and from DC in regards to understanding all the situation there in Egypt. And, in these areas that are so volatile right now, because obviously it’s not just Egypt but the other countries too where we are seeing uprisings, we know that now more than ever, we need strength and sound mind there in the White House. We need to know what it is that America stands for so we know who it is that America will stand with. And, we do not have all that information yet.”
