Couric Interviews Palin: Deleted Scene

Pure genius!



In case you don't know Terry Tate, he's the original Office Linebacker:

Hell Yes, We Can!

I want Barack Obama to be our next President. Strike that, I don't want him to be our next President, I need him to be. I know that he's a politician, and politicians are known to tell people what they want to hear. But the thing about Obama is that I believe what he says. I've heard him stumble when he speaks off the cuff, but to me that just means he's really speaking off the cuff, and not regurgitating some line his campaign advisers made him practice over and over.

When he says, "I will never forget that in no other country on Earth is my story even possible," I want to stand up and sing the goddamn national anthem -- as a single tear runs down my cheek. During the first debate with McCain, when he referred to McCain's similarities to Dubya and proclaimed, "Eight is enough!" I was ready to go out and beat the shit out of Dick van Patten. And I didn't care that Mr. Tom Bradford is an octogenarian -- I was doing it for Barack!

But it's four simple words that gives me the chills. He doesn't overdo it, but to me, it's one of his catchphrases: "Now let's be clear." That's his way of saying, "OK, I know I've been talking a lot and so has my opponent, but I'm not messing around now. Listen the fuck up, and believe me when I say this." When he said that during the first debate in response to one of McCain's confused (and confusing) rants, something inside me took things to a whole 'nother level. I got my Obama t-shirt, sent money to his campaign, got my Obama bumper sticker -- and believe me, where I live putting an Obama bumper sticker on your car is like painting a target on your back.

With less than a week to go, I can feel the winds of change blowing. Obama said that he's been warned against giving Americans false hope, but America is what it is because, as he said, "there's never been anything false about hope." I know Barack is going to shake things up and re-establish the United States as a powerful, respectable and admirable nation. But I also know it's not going to be easy, that there will be sacrifices. And I know this because he said so.
