Palin comparison

A local yokel writes to the podunkish paper here every week. He fancies himself a "character," I gather, and imagines that his breezy drivel hewing to the Republican line is either eye-opening or thought-provoking.

He was "impressed" by Sarah Palin, apparently only because she could deliver a speech written for her while being so...so ravishable, if I can read between his lines.

In his screed this week he refers to Obama as "a part-time senator of Muslim heritage," and "the only candidate of Muslim heritage to ever run for President," and to drive home his point even more, in case his lip-moving readers haven't yet made the connection, he calls Obama by his full name, Barack Hussein Obama.

Our epistolary wit is, of course, a Christian. A Muslim of any stripe is beyond his ken. He knows that Jesus is the only answer, and he wishes to perpetuate the theocracy in power.
