Just because Mac and Barbie with a rifle promise pie in the sky doesn't make it taste like the real thing. You are very much misguided if you think these "leaders" are going to do anything that will help anyone but themselves.

"Mac and Barbie with a rifle" is supposed to be a deep intellectual analysis I guess. If Sarah Palin was ugly she would not elicit so much opposition from certain quarters, but the same people have no problem making fun of McCain's age and infirmities.

The same arguments - that politicians are self serving - apply equally to both sides. However, Governor Palin (AKA "Barbie with a rifle") for whatever reason and out of whatever motive, prepared a good speech about Mr. Ahmadinejad.

Ahmadinejad and the Iranian regime are a clear and present danger to the United States, to the West and to Israel. The elections will be over this November, but Ahmadinejad will still be there. Whatever Governor Palin "really" believes, that speech alerts people to the dangers posed by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the Iranian regime. It is a correct and realistic policy approach, as opposed to "engagement" or procrastination and wishful thinking.

As a supporter of Israel and as an American, I feel I am duty bound to circulate that speech to as many people as possible, especially as she was prevented from giving it at the anti-Ahmadinejad rally. If Hillary Clinton makes a speech that is anything like that, and we all should hope she does, I will be glad to publish it too.
