Roger Ebert on Sarah Palin: The American Idol candidate

I think I might be able to explain some of Sarah Palin’s appeal. She’s the “American Idol” candidate. Consider. What defines an “American Idol” finalist? They’re good-looking, work well on television, have a sunny personality, are fierce competitors, and so talented, why, they’re darned near the real thing. There’s a reason “American Idol” gets such high ratings. People identify with the contestants. They think, Hey, that could be me up there on that show!

My problem is, I don’t want to be up there. I don’t want a vice president who is darned near good enough. I want a vice president who is better, wiser, well-traveled, has met world leaders, who three months ago had an opinion on Iraq. Someone who doesn’t repeat bald- faced lies about earmarks and the Bridge to Nowhere. Someone who doesn’t appoint Alaskan politicians to “study” global warming, because, hello! It has been studied. The returns are convincing enough that John McCain and Barack Obama are darned near in agreement.

Here’s some of what she said in her interview with ABC’s Charlie Gibson. Forget American Idol, I wonder if a beauty contestant would give answers like… Oh, that’s right. She once was one.

    You horny bastard !!!

    I don’t find her attractive. Maybe if your wife was 250 lbs and laid around the house all day, ya, she might be a step up. But who would really want someone like her yapping away beside him? Oh, right, that moran from Minnesota who wants to drive a big SUV and dump more CO2 into the atmosphere.

    Geeze, people, get a life.
