Politics as theater was always the situation since the times of the Greeks. Can you imagine some of those dudes delivering their monologues and speeches after a night of deflowering some poor kid from the countryside? The life of the intern still hasn’t improved either. Has the body of CHANDRA LEVY turned up yet?

Roman senators were fiery, passionate orators, but they were also cunning and conniving manipulators even moreso. Politricks haven’t changed one bit except that now we allow women and Blacks the chance to occupy the podium. The best performers have been the women and the Blacks too. I don’t think that we are tired of hearing the white men speak although AL GORE and JOHN KERRY were both as exciting as watching a game of underwater golf. I think that the most inspiring orators have been the Blackish dude and the women.

You have to love SARAH PALIN for her use, or lack thereof the ‘g’ sound which would end words like ‘looking’ and ‘being’. There’s no way in hell BARACK OBAAMA could have come through without pronouncing that ‘g’ sound and he would still be on this stage. BARACK speaks so well I always have to look at his collar to make sure he doesn’t have on brownface makeup. SARAH PALIN is so perfect for our substance-less soundbite culture. TINA FEY has also done a remarkable job endearing her to the American public.

TINA FEY could have a career in politricks if she wanted one. During the Writer’s Guild strike last winter TINA FEY broke the lines so she could finish the season for her red hot television show. The Writer’s Guild didn’t step to her on it since she came out publicly in support of the writers. That’s the type of shit that good politicians do. They rail against banking system deregulations while they take vacations paid for by bankers. In TINA FEY’s case she won herself a few EMMY awards. I wonder what SARAH PALIN will receive for her performance?
