This is a phrase that Dan Rather has been using for the last ten years in reference to television journalism. But we felt that it was also an interesting title for this tiny piece.
Just this past Friday we went out with family and friends to dinner at a popular family style restaurant in an affluent section of town. Within moments of being seated at a large table in the corner of the restaurant, the conversation was on the Vice Presidential debate.
After some much heated and excited debate of our own, we decided to ask other female restauranteurs what they thought of the debate. We didn't ask people who they were voting for. After the men had all injected the various comments that we more or less expected, the women had finally shut them up in order to answer our question. One woman said this quite loudly and it was greeted with nodding heads and vocal confirmations:
"Quite frankly, after watching it on TV, I was embarrased that Sarah Palin was saying those things and that she didn't answer many of the questions directly or at all. She was embarrasing!"
Another woman pointed out that it seemed almost a repeat of the Presidential debate with John McCain doing the very same thing and being stuck on "difference between a strategy and a tactic".
Embarrased was the word of the evening. Never before had I heard a chorus of the voting public agree on politics. But they did Friday night and they felt embarrased about the representative of the Republican party Sarah Palin.
