[IWE] Palin: the death of a thousand cuts

[Ashton Brown]

What/ 'damage' ?!?/

To me the fundamental Question remains unaltered: whether her 
performance In Toto has been adequate, nay Boffo? - to the ears of what 
may well prove to be a sufficient plurality of what the Murican 
body-politic has become--emaciated by the daily feeding of indigestible 
pap--with which we are all entirely familiar, over these long 8 years.

All the cliches have been said and they apply:
The US may then deserve for a Very Long time what that plurality shall 
have doomed US to:_______ {anyone could fill in that blank.}

Bah? ... SHIT!  The place I grew up in has grown down to a level which 
is despicable: for the mere fact that this 'election' shall be /close./
(And ... Who Says? that the October Surprise is over: on the 1st day!)
