Fear not, my fellow libs, for JP has taken many hits for the team.
Palin/de Redneck 2012!
Apparently Lisa P. Jackson, commissioner of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) is in the running to head up the USEPA.
This is a really TERRIBLE idea. She ruined the NJDEP and is the wrong person to lead the EPA.
If you care about the environment, tell Obama to take her off of his list..

Imagine with a name like Rotschild accusing Barack Obama to be elitist. I guess she couldn't openly admit that she is a racist, hence the ekitist cover up.
She's nothing. She's a nobody, albeit a well heeled nobody. Why should we care what she has to say? What should an editor care what she has to say? Heaps of people all over the country are nobodies with loopy opinions no more relevant than yours or mine or anyone elses and none of them get a platform.
Except for this: the editors and the producers who keep going for the drama angle. And this blog is guilty of it too, in her case. She's a nobody. Giving her a thread here isn't going to change any minds. No one on AmericaBlog is going to consider rethinking our view of what this dame has to say. She's just good for business. And to me that is the shame about the discourse, because nobodies are getting a platform because they're good for business.
Same for Joe the Plumber, post election. Who gives a shit what he thinks? Whoever did? He was a fairground attraction during the vote and (arguably) deserved what attention he got when he became a prop for both sides. But he never had anything valuable to contribute to the debate. He was just packaged into an item because he was a freakshow.
So lets at least consider putting Lady Lynn and Joe the Plumber and any other two headed cow that offers nothing but distraction aside. Lets ignore them. We can't control Fox but we can control here. Lets focus on the substance instead of adding to credibility by volume by extending the platform they already have but in no way deserve.
Rant over. Kind of.
I'm a strong feminist and Democrat who proudly campaigned and voted for Barack Obama and I think Lady Lynn has a point. Sarah Palin is not the reason John McCain lost the presidential race. He lost because he ran a REALLY BAD campaign; because he was NOT A GOOD CANDIDATE; because he didn't have a STRATEGY; because he committed a SEXIST act in selecting a vp running mate based on GENDER rather than qualifications.
And frankly I think the backstabbing going on within the McCain campaign staff is reprehensible. Sarah Palin is right that it is not professional. After all they chose her and put her forth as fully qualified to be VPOTUS and to be POTUS if need be. Now they're revealing that they either chose someone they knew was incompetent, or whom they did not vett at all. In either case, it's clear that John McCain assembled a group of unprofessional, sexist pigs to run his campaign and that's another reason why McCain was a BAD candidate. Finally, if JSM had any balls he's step up to the plate and demand that his campaign staff SHUT UP.
