Community Organizers

"Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown,''; vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said here last night. "And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor if sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities.''

Seemed like a good line, right?

But then there's this one:

“Jesus was a community organizer. Pontius Pilate was a governor.”

Other "community organizers?"

Gandhi
Dr. Martin Luther King
Mother Teresa
Black Elk
Cezar Chavez
Lec Walesa
Eleanor Roosevelt
Thornton Blackburn (look him up)
the Dalai Lama
Susan B. Anthony
Nelson Mandela
and, incidentally Cindy McCain

I don't suppose any of them could've been mayor of a small town in Alaska or Governor of a state whose population is less than the Illinois' 13th Congressional District, which was represented by State Legislator, Barack Obama, for six years.

rick, fighting fuckwittedness

I read somewhere that her small Alaskan town cops busted over 40 meth labs. Give me a break. The only reason small towns have less crime is because there are less people, not that they have any more "values".

No shit. I'll take a 'community organizer' with Obama's intellect and education over a beauty queen any day.
