Photoshop Palin

They Fooled Me Jerry!

Last week or so, Yahoo news posted up a news story with this picture above. This is it here. Of course it turned out to be a Photoshop-manipulated image based on the one below.

There's a critique of the phenomenon here.
Sarah Palin reminds me of Pauline Hanson with a few tweaks and kinks. Her appeal is essentially the same as Hanson: ill-educated rednecks plus disenfranchised right wing nuts with an axe to grind. She seems to be better educated (which is a plus) but comes burdened with a psycho-Christian religion that is waiting for the 'rapture' (which is a major minus). So should McCain win and then die in office, as roughly a third of Presidents have done, then she'll have her trigger-finger on the doomsday switch. Are we comfortable with that?
I'm not.
