Joe Says It's So

By Sniffles

Goodness gracious, we cats suppose we should climb on Joe McGinniss bandwagon again.

The famous quitter from Alaska, he says, snorted cocaine, slept with (black) NBA player Glen Rice before her marriage, and cheated on her hapless husband afterwards.

We simply had to check on our goofball right-wing friends over at Free Republic to get their reactions. Yep, they're pretty upset. But after screaming "libel" and "Obama's worse," and after questioning McGinniss's sexuality (not to mention threatening him with a tire iron), they finally come to the uncomfortable conclusion that even if Sarah did do any of this stuff, it's okay.

Meanwhile, The New York Times, of all papers, is complaining that the book is thin, trivial and second-sourced. But that stance is, we believe, ultimately silly. Here's why.

If this kind of malicious tattling had been written about a hardworking, incumbent elected official who was a serious heir apparent to the next Presidential nomination of one of the nation's two major political parties, it would be a legitimate outrage. But Sarah Palin is none of these things.

She chose to ditch her responsibility to the people of Alaska and conduct herself like a cheap celebrity. Oh, well! We cats say: More power to Joe McGinniss and Levi Johnston and The National Enquirer and everybody else, for giving this pathetic clown the tawdry treatment she deserves.

Of course, we only used this titillating topic to entice you to read. Sarah Palin is not important. This, however, is.
