editorial topic!

While looking through the New York Times I found an article that was actually from the David Letterman show.  It was titled 'I Do Kind of Like that Sarah Palin'.  While I am not necessarily fairly interested in politics I do find the late night shows, which tend to focus around politics, to be rather amusing.  David Letterman makes remarks discussing McCain's old age.  He says that McCain is so old his "blood type has been discontinued".  Also, he says that New York City has caught "fashion fever" and that even "the Statue of Liberty earlier today was wearing a pair of those hip Sarah Palin glasses."  I intend to write my editorial letter based on fashion and humor in politics.  Especially by having a woman in involved, fashion is a huge aspect in politics.  While what they politicians are actually saying have the most importance, it would not sound as well or as educated if they were out in public speaking in a pair of sweat pants or jeans with holes everywhere in them.  Also, humor allows people who are not generally interested or involved in politics become more educated and involved.

This should be an interesting topic! And it's a good, light-hearted difference from all the serious issues that people are talking about. It will be nice to get away from all of that and focus on something more fun!

It will be interesting to see this topic from a comical point of view.
