Last night McCain made an appearance on SNL. He was there with Tina Fey making fun of his own campaign and also putting in a couple plugs for himself, selling products like an "Ayer" freshener and the three Joes: 6pack, the plumber, Biden action figures. I really don't quite understand the advising process that allowed McCain to appear on that show. Personally, I do not want a president who, in a time of war and crisis, is sarcastically joking around on late night TV 3 days before the election. I want someone who doesn't have to cover their campaign with false smiles and bad jokes, someone whose ideas and beliefs are strong enough to hold an audiences attention, so powerful that a joke would never enhance their meaning. I believe that somewhere in our country, people fell in love again with the ole jokester last night, but that trick didn't remotely work on me.
Likewise, McCain's lovely running mate is getting prank called by two Canadian Radio pranksters. Sarah was under the impression that she was conversing with french president Nicolas Sarckozy. She said she wanted to be president within 8 years and that she would love to go hunting with him. The conversation is so obviously false, that it boggles me she could not tell. The impersonator claimed a French singer as his special american advisor and a canadian singer as Canada's prime minister, and no red flags were raised for palin, she just said "oh yeah, sure".
I am unsettled at these circumstances. I will feel very unsafe if these two people are the leaders of my country.
