You know when you go see a band that you’ve loved for years, and they insist on only playing songs from their new album that nobody’s heard yet? And you’re all, Come on, dudes, just play some classics! Well, Sarah Palin feels you on that one.
That’s why, with just four weeks to go until the big lever pulling, she’s hauling out the greatest hits to get the crowds worked up. In a New York Times interview, the Alaska governor raised a fuss about Rev. Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers. Not wasting any time, that one.
And really, who cares if this Ayers connection was covered pretty much completely during the primaries? Doesn’t mean the fans wouldn’t go nuts for it again, this time with an extended guitar solo. And who cares if John McCain said talk of Rev. Wright was off limits after the story dominated the news for a couple weeks? That just makes her performance all the more special. I’m just hoping she follows it all up with a ripping encore of “Michelle Obama is Ashamed of America.” Not doing that one would be like Mountain not doing “Mississippi Queen.”
When asked about the new golden oldies tone of her campaigning, Palin said, “The high heels are on, the gloves are off.” So, you know, foxy boxing! Yay!
But the Obama campaign wasn’t about to let Palin steal all the greatest hits glory. Oh, no. Barack fired back at a campaign stop with a scorching rendition of “Keating 5, Keating 5, McCain Can’t Be Trusted.” Man, that one never gets old.
