Governor Palin's Reading List

By Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Fascist writer Westbrook Pegler, an avowed racist who Sarah Palin approvingly quoted in her acceptance speech for the moral superiority of small town values, expressed his fervent hope about my father, Robert F. Kennedy, as he contemplated his own run for the presidency in 1965, that "some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in public premises before the snow flies."

It might be worth asking Governor Palin for a tally of the other favorites from her reading list.

Palin being a "sniff of a dead corpse" away from the presidency is a very scary thought indeed.

Blame it on the speech writer. If you want to go down that road, Both Biden and Obama plagiarized in their speeches. Obama said Abraham Lincoln was the author of a quote from the Bible. The candidates don't write their own speeches. Obama once said, “just words”.

Personally, I prefer politicians who accept responsibility for what comes out of their mouths, regardless of who wrote it.

But maybe that's just me. I also prefer politicians who accept responsibility for their mistakes rather than blaming it on some minion in the civil service. What ever happened to "the buck stops here?"

Harry was a Democrat. However, "pass the buck" has been the favorite game of the Boy George Bush Administration and will likely be continued if it is given a third term.
