Sarah Palin = Average Joe Six-Pack?

A few weeks ago, I was going to post some sort of Palin-bashing (yes, I hate that she is pro-rifle and anti-abortion among many other things) but then everyone was already bashing her so I thought why waste space.

Well, after reading this article – which I was alerted by Anderson Cooper 360 Degrees twitter – I just had to post it. CNN released part of the transcript from an interview the Alaska Governer did with Hugh Hewitt:

Hugh Hewitt: Governor, your candidacy has ignited extreme hostility, even some hatred on the left and in some parts of the media. Are you surprised? And what do you attribute this reaction to?

Sarah Palin: Oh, I think they’re just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying you know what? It’s time that normal Joe six-pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency, and I think that that’s kind of taken some people off guard, and they’re out of sorts, and they’re ticked off about it….”

Joe six-pack? Normal?

Waitaminute, doesn’t the United States have the highest obesity rate in the world? (heh heh) Couldn’t resist.
