There's a kitten on the stairs. Some people say the kitten is easy to see. Others don't see it at all. Some people say the kitten is tame. Others say it is vicious and dangerous. Since no one can really be sure who's right, isn't it smart not to turn your back on the kitten -- if there is a kitten.
Sarah Palin. Think About it.

This political commercial is a tribute to the 1984 spot the Reagan campaign ran against Walter Mondale. It was called, "The Bear," and you can see the original here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpwdcmjBgNA
I chose to use my Bengal kitten, Sonic, as the "bear" because I think Sarah Palin is generally viewed by the public and the media as a harmless kitten, which I think nothing could be further from the truth. She's an enormously charismatic figure who has learned how to play the media, big politics game to perfection and is clearly becoming the dominant force in Republican Politics and the Tea Party Movement.
The latest example of this predilection wood be what Palin herself has named "Boobgate." The blogosphere and media are all over a photo of her in a thin white top at the Belmont Stakes which seems to suggest that she might have had her chest enhanced. It's the kind of thing that makes her look cute, harmless and a victim, and which also keeps her in the national spotlight without actually having to do anything. And it helps her starpower grow.
She's out there raising money for candidates, handing out endorsements, and building up a pile of IOU's which are going to be impossible to ignore as we get closer and closer to Iowa.
She's one of the most famous people in America, she's got a lot of money, a platform on Fox, Twitter and Facebook and more charisma and media savvy than everyone in the Republican leadership combined. And it really scares me the way people are underestimating her as a threat.

  • So...Failin' Palin is a lolcat now or what?

    Thanks for taking the most precious animal and ruining it by affixing that bitch's name on it.

  • libtard!

  • the Bear from 1984 was referring to communism and the USSR. So, unless you think Palin is as dangerous as communism and that people views kittens as dangerous as bears, your analogy is a bit weak. Hey, you asked me to think about it! Nice looking video either way though.

  • the kitten was nice, the political commentary kinda dumb
