Stupid in a Swimsuit

For those of you that haven’t heard – probably because you could care less – Linsey Evans, reigning Miss Louisiana Teen USA, is stupid.  In what may be the dumbest combination of failures in history, Lindsey Evans has been relieved of her duties as Miss Teen Louisiana, because she was caught doing an old-school dine-and-dash.  Well, yes and no.  In her rush to escape a $46.07 tab she left her purse behind.  Which isn’t that bad all on its own, but she also left her baggie of weed inside.  Doh!

In a respectable response, Paula Miles, president of pageant sponsor RPM, is quoted as saying, “Lindsey Evans has been part of an organization that believes in opportunities when earned and consequences when warranted.  Due to recent circumstances, Lindsey has been relieved of her duties as Miss Louisiana Teen USA 2008 effective immediately.”

Am I the only one reading this thinking this could be about Sarah Palin?  Not that I think she’s a pot-smoking, dasher, but… I’m not saying she isn’t either.  It just sounds like something that she could have done before running for VP.  I mean, really, before yesterday what do we know about this lady?

Some of my reasoning against John McCain:

• John McCain may have some experience, but he doesn’t have the type of personality or passion that I believe can pull us through the next four years.
• John McCain is getting along in years and has had health problems.  I wish him good health and that he should live for many years, but this job is about being the most powerful man in the free world.  That takes a tremendous amount of strength, energy and perseverance – I’m not comfortable that McCain has that strength any more.  Equally important, this country can’t afford to deal with McCains failing health if it should come to that.
• John McCain has Sarah Palin as a running mate.  I’m sorry, this woman can’t name a newspaper, doesn’t know what the vice-president does, believes she’ll control the senate, and can’t answer half the questions she’s asked.

Some of my reasoning against Barak Obama:

• His own running mate, Joe Biden, is comparing him to John F. Kennedy, and I’m not sure that’s the guy that I want to be running this country with Pelozi, either.  Doesn’t he remember that JFK was assasinated while in office?  Has he forgotten that there is still a large contingent of this country that see only that Obama is black?
• His military experience, and foreign policy judgment are untested and at first blush not based on fact.
• Limited resume – he’s been in office, he’s served his time, but he’s not an A+ example of what I’d like to see running this country.  Even from a business standpoint – and this country is one big business – Barak Obama doesn’t have the background or experience to task in times of need.

So… like I began, this is simply the lessor of two evils and frankly I don’t like either one of them.  But, if I have to look at their number two I think that Biden is a better problem to have then Palin and that about sums it up for me.

So… needless to say it comes across to this voter that Sarah Palin is not the brightest tool in the shed.  Her appearances on Saturday Night Live cemented this for me as I realized that she’s going to be the laughing stock of the United States for years to come.  Add to that, if something happens to McCain she’ll become President with Pelozi as VP and my stomach turns.
