Sarah Palin Fires Chef. Bad Move
Pretty bold move from the McCain folks to select a complete unknown for the VP spot. But this feisty NRA poster woman showed at the convention that she could deliver a speech from the teleprompter as well as anyone: arguably far better than McCain himself.
That being said, there are a number of things about this woman that alarm me. While painting a picture of herself as a champion of the people and an astute manager of municipalities and states, the facts speak otherwise. She was an enthusiastic pursuer of “earmarks” and she left her small town of 9,000 in debt when she retired as Mayor. She claimed to turn her back on the “bridge to nowhere” when in fact she was initially for the project. She actually tried to ban books in one of the school libraries and she referred to the war in Iraq as a “task from God.” But since she is a true-blue conservative, most of that could be expected.
What really alarmed me, shocked me beyond all belief, is that she fired the chef at the executive mansion when she was elected governor. I can see giving back the executive jet but firing the chef???? So are we to believe that this family of seven has dinner prepared for them each night by their super mom? That is NOT an example of efficient management. Leave the chef and focus on your gubernatorial duties. And even if her older kids are pitching in, the 17-year-old is soon going to be too pregnant to help out in the kitchen.
We get it Sara. You are a tough cookie. But you’re unlikely going to have the time to bake any cookies for your brood with the duties that you have to perform. Bring back the chef already!
