Oh, Palin.

October 29th, 2008

Is there anything she won’t exaggerate or lie about?

Today in Ohio while introducing Joe the Plumber:

“He’s a fellow Alaska[n], and he’s a fellow military man who has served our country proudly. I’d like you to meet him.”

The problem is, he isn’t either. But I guess we his name isn’t really Joe, nor a plumber, I guess these details become trivial.

Like I said before, the McCain campaign has repeatedly shown that the details are trivial for almost everything they do or say, from exaggerating or lying about their own records or Obama/Biden’s to stupid stuff like this… which scares me. The details DO matter and if you are the leader of the best/most powerful/leading country in the world, you need to pay attention to details. We’ve seen what 8 years of that kind of approach can do already.

Update: Apparently he lived in Alaska for 4 years, which to Palin makes him an Alaskan. So I guess that makes me from Washington state since I lived there for 5 years.
