A country in shambles, under GOP rule

Efforts to blame Democrats for the country's deep woes assume deep stupidity on the part of the glorified Regular Voter.

    Sarah Palin and Reese Witherspoon in "Election"

    Arne Langsetmo (October 6, 2008 12:22 PM):

    She[Sarah Palin]reminds me of Reese Witherspoon's character in "Election"....

    I'd watched "Election" too long ago to make this connection, but looked up a trailer to refresh my memory, and Lordy, what a similarity: ruthless ambition as compensation for low self-esteem, or what?

    Your observation has made me reserve the local library's copy of the movie, so I can watch it again.

    Thanks.
