Sarah Palin and Mr Smith Goes to Washington

I came across this youtube video of the unforgettable classic, “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” (1939) with Jimmy Stewart and Jean Arthur. I wonder what ever happened to public servants. When did they begin to miss the mark? Corruption has existed in Washington for too long. Just take a look at the financial crisis we are in now? And now the tax payer flips the bill. Last time I checked, congress was supposed to be our voice. Is it really?

Sarah Palin will be debating Joe Biden today and I know that she has come under a lot of criticism for her few gaffes, which seems to trump Biden’s 100. But if I understand Palin well, she will be like Mr. Smith in this clip. She is no quitter.

Tonight we will see that like Mr. Smith, Sarah has “faith in something bigger” than the George Town elite (Taylors and Paines). She will demonstrate that she has “plain, decent, everyday common rightness.” “And this country can use some of that.” So Sarah, “don’t quit!” Give them all you’ve got. And remember that all the good that came into this world came from those who went against all the odds.
