“So Sambo beat the bitch!”
This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palindescribed Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to politicalcolleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up theDemocratic Party presidential nomination.
According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time andwho asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunchwith five or six people when the subject of the Democrat’s primarybattle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people atnearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughedloudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively.
“It was kind of disgusting,” Lucille, who is part Aboriginal, saidin a phone interview after admitting that she is frightened of beingdiscovered telling folks in the “lower 48” about life near the NorthPole.
Then, almost with a sigh, she added, “But that’s just Alaska.”
Racial and ethnic slurs may be “just Alaska” and, clearly, they are common, everyday chatter for Palin.
Besides insulting Obama with a Step-N’-Fetch-It, “darkie musical”swipe, people who know her say she refers regularly to Alaska’sAboriginal people as “Arctic Arabs” – how efficient, lumping twoapparently undesirable groups into one ugly description – as well asthe more colourful “mukluks” along with the totally unimaginative“f**king Eskimo’s,” according to a number of Alaskans and Wasilliansinterviewed for this article.
But being openly racist is only the tip of the Palin iceberg.According to Alaskans interviewed for this article, she is alsovindictive and mean. We’re talking Rove mean and Nixon vindictive.
No wonder the vast sea of white, cheering faces at the RepublicanConvention went wild for Sarah: They adore the type, it’s in theirgenetic code. So much for McCain’s pledge of a “high road” campaign;Palin is incapable of being part of one.
