Unique and Exceptional
by digby
Sarah Palin made one of her patented ignorant comments yesterday about the Statue of Liberty:
“This Statue of Liberty was gifted to us by foreign leaders, really as a warning to us, it was a warning to us to stay unique and to stay exceptional from other countries. Certainly not to go down the path of other countries that adopted socialist policies,”
Yeah, France was trying to tell the US not to adopt socialist policies back in 1870. (In fact, I’m pretty sure the Hallmark card accompanying the gift said “stay unique and exceptional or else!”)
But I don’t think that’s the weirdest teabagger Statue of Liberty thing I’ve seen today. Shakespeare’s Sister brought up an interesting point about the cover of Glenn Beck’s novel The Overton Window:
It looks like the Statue of Liberty has either really been taking steroids in anticipation of competing in a body building contest or she had sex reassignment surgery.
