Sarah Palin endorsed Donald Trump in Iowa this week. That wasn’t surprising, as Trump has been pushing his outsider status to a group of voters that would appeal to Palin. What was surprising, however, was the”speech” Palin gave endorsing Trump. It was long, rambling and incoherent.
It sounded extemporaneous, but I’ve heard that she actually wrote down what she was going to say. Either way, the word salad made no sense as she rambled through a greatest hits of her cliches. Does she still have any credibility among the fans of hers? Could any of them articulate what she was saying? I’m not a Palin fan, although I do see why she has a following. Lately, though, she has made less and less sense in what she is saying. She doesn’t come off as folksy anymore, just confused and ill-informed (more so than usual). Trump’s not my guy, anyway, but he had to have been embarrassed by what she was saying. It was difficult trying to understand what he was thinking during the speech. A lot of the time it looked like he was thinking, “Let’s hurry this up, babe. I’ve gotten my photo op. Wrap it up.”
Let’s leave politics behind and listen to great music instead. Very little political overtones in today’s choices from The Jam, Love & Rockets, The Cure, David Bromberg, Echo & the Bunnymen, Cocteau Twins, the Mighty Lemon Drops, Michael Penn, Lou Reed, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, Harvey Scales & the Seven Sounds, Roomful of Blues, Tom Dickie & the Desires, ans Phil Manzanera.
