Enlightened Redneck Of 2008: Sarah Palin
Posted on 12.23.08 by Danny Glover @ 12:26 pm

The newspaper Human Events just named Sarah Palin “Conservative Of The Year” because of “her genius at annoying all the right people.” Palin deserves another, far less prestigious award for the same reason.

I hereby proclaim her the first “Enlightened Redneck Of The Year.” Here are the reasons Palin won the award hands-down:

This quote from Palin in an interview with Human Events upon being named “Conservative Of The Year” sums up nicely why she is also the “Enlightened Redneck Of The Year”:

No, I don’t come from the self-proclaimed ‘movers and shakers’ group and that’s fine with me. It’s caused me, or rather, allowed me, to work harder and pulled myself up by my bootstraps without anyone else helping me. I think it allows me to be in touch with the vast majority of Americans who are in the same position that I am.

Sarah Palin is definitely no Caroline Kennedy or Barack Obama.
