Too Much Nick

spiegelman:

The one thing I like about this whole Sarah Palin bullshit is that she’s making it acceptable for politicians to be human.

That being said, I have a wee problem with the human aspects of a politician taking precedence over civic responsibility (e.g., trying to fire a state trooper because your sister is divorcing him, regardless of how crazy the motherfucker might be, then firing his boss in a hissyfit — it’s not exactly, well, measured).

(via hipsterrunoff)

In the Battlestar Galactica metaphor, this hotheaded abuse of power makes Palin into President Roslin as much as the tortured aggressive McCain is Colonel Tigh. But they don’t have an Adama. Adama’s over on the Democratic ticket.
