Sarah Palin had one job last week: not to make her self look like any more of an idiot than she did during her interview with Katie Couric. If you didn’t see the series of interviews, there was one where Sarah couldn’t name the magazines or newspapers that she reads on the regular. Then, when asked to name one other Supreme Court case other than Roe vs. Wade, she named Roe vs. Wade. So, heading into the debate the bar was set lower than a 24-hour game of limbo.

She was short on policy and tough on attacks. She truly lived up to her label of a pit bull with lip stick, and you all know what we call a female pit bull. It was sort of funny to me, since she sounds like the mother from “Bobby’s World,” for her to hurling insults instead of talking about policy and specifics.

So, I had to write her a letter, from the heart….

Dear Sarah “Parrot” Palin,

The economy has crashed, there is no gas in the south, and America has lost almost a million jobs since September, not to mention the thousands of other neo-conservative screw jobs. This is no time for you to want to play the dozens during a nationally televised debate.

Despite all your talking points, scripted phrases (some of which made no sense at all), and plays for the heart of “Joe Six Pack America,” we can not handle you as the Vice President. Mainly because you’re dumb, and have no clue what’s going on. You didn’t answer any question you did not have an index card for. There was one time when they asked you about taxes and you started talking about energy and Alaska.

Then, you have the nerve to say you’re not going to answer some of the questions? Maybe it’s just me, maybe I’m dumb. But when asked about your potential role as VP, all I heard was “Ahsooo” and something about “well our founding fathers… and positions, Dick Chaney” and 30 other unrelated talking points.

It’s like you’re looking for McCain to hand you your neo-con card for great liars. Then, you pulled the lowest move in a debate that I’ve ever seen when you tried to bring your children into the discussion, like Joe Biden didn’t know what it was like to raise a child. He promptly broke it down to you and almost shed a tear.

“Look, I understand what it’s like to be a single parent. When my wife and daughter died and my two sons were gravely injured… I understand what it’s like as a parent to wonder what it’s like if your kid’s going to make it. I understand what it’s like to sit around the kitchen table with a father who says, “I’ve got to leave, champ, because there’s no jobs here. I got to head down to Wilmington. And when we get enough money, honey, we’ll bring you down. But the notion that somehow, because I’m a man, I don’t know what it’s like to raise two kids alone, I don’t know what it’s like to have a child you’re not sure is going to — is going to make it — I understand.”

Sarah, you cold hearted pit bull with lipstick, you showed no empathy. There was no “sorry for your loss.” You said something about John McSame being a maverick for the umpteenth time. Sarah, although you didn’t make any major gaffes during the debate, for the sake of the country you need to withdraw yourself from the ticket.

Signed, Xilla

PS. I would like to apologize to the pit bulls out there. I don’t need PETA coming after me for comparing female dogs to Sarah Palin. She’s not a female dog, she’s a parrot designed to spew talking points and scripted phrases. Ask her a follow up question and that’s when the ditzy valley girl comes out of her.
