The most amazing thing about Sarah Palin is that anybody listens to her. And not just because of the inane and senseless babble that pours unheeded from her mouth, but at how badly this babble is actually poured. I'm not going to talk about the subject of her babble, but just its delivery: she is a worse actor than she is a thinker. The fact that there is a person on our planet that takes her seriously is depressing and doesn't bode well for the survival of our species.
Many people by now have seen this video. I don't watch a lot of Palin, so I don't know if this is typical of her, but her performance would be laughable if it weren't jaw-droppingly pathetic. I have a deep and broad sense of humor, most of the time, but I still find it hard to laugh at this level of sadness. I am tempted to predict that this is one of her worst rolls? I kind of hope that it is.
Now I am conflicted. I am displaying the same sort of behaviour that so many liberal press-men exhibit. By sharing this video, I am supporting Palin: No publicity is bad publicity, right? If we all ignored her like we ought to, then she would disappear like she ought to. And the world would be a better place. But instead, we are all playing into her hands like puppets with half of her intelligence.
Which makes me feel like a blob fish in a school of retarded liberals. Instead of putting up our own media gimmick, we are castrated by Bveck and Palin and their melodramatic acting which wouldn't even be respected in a Soap Opera as good enough. It is just not believable to an IQ over 80. It's unlikely a blob fish would be so stupid as Sarah Palin, let alone me and my friends who pay enough attention to her to write opposition to her.
And yet, here I am.
But the acting really impressed me that much. There is an impressive similarity between her delivery and that in a shitty infomercial. Her change in inflection isn't even on the right words. Like she realizes what she's saying and remembers: "oh, compassionate voice here, Oh, now concerned voice, now reprimanding a child voice..." But it is always a few syllables late. Despite the simplicity; those are the only emotions she goes though. I would think it'd be easy enough to keep three measly and simplistic emotions separate, but she doesn't quite get it together.
If this caliber acting is all that is required to convince people of... well, anything. If all one has to do is say something to a camera and have a hoard of people believe you, then it shouldn't be so hard to convince people of things that really are happening and are really big deals: over-fishing, peak coal and peak oil, dehydrating aquifers, over-population... Global warming...
Instead, there is a surprising number of people who put their effort into such mundane things as making sure people speak English in America! and trying (and failing miserably) to fight a war on drugs (and often the wrong ones). We have people in this country determined to undermine their own access to health-care for some really inconceivable reason. It's like we want to get sick or die of a broken elbow. Which, honestly, I wouldn't be that against, we hare deathly overpopulated, if it weren't for the heinous environmental degradation that comes from poverty. Without security, no one has time to realize that we are destroying the biosphere. Once it is gone, so are we, by the way.
Meanwhile Palin, possibly in pursuit of assuaging her own guilt, has washed her hands of the murder of a few politicians. And there are a few people who buy it, even though it was sold with a cardboard mask on.
