Did I hear Gov. Gidget say that being a small town mayor is "like being a community organizer -- but with actual responsibilities?"
And all these years I've been under the impression that Dr. King . . . or Ralph Reed for that matter . . . had real jobs.
Well, let's give her her due. Being Mayor of Wasilla, AK (pop. 9000) involves some actual responsibilities. Indeed, you have to manage a budget. Easy to do if you take your neighbor's tax money and use it to hire a lobbyist. I am sure Dr. King would have hired a lobbyist to help his cause -- except for the fact that J. Edgar Hoover had a little stronger voice in DC than he did.
And being Mayor of Wasilla meant you had to march in those holiday parades. Tough in an Alaska winter with the snow and ice pelting you. Certainly not as easy as marching across a bridge on a nice day -- with batons and bullets pelting you.
Hey, where do I sign up? I'd relish a cushy job like that!
