The Unblinking Eye, Lidless, Wreathed In Snow

Inspired by James, an adaptation of Palin’s interview answers:

You don’t just walk into Washington, unless you’re a maverick like John McCain, who walks the walk and has been reforming Washington all along, which is why it’s so desperately in need of reform.  Its Beltway is guarded by more than lobbyists, which is why we must have that reform and that process of reforming also.  There is corruption there that doesn’t sleep much, it’s kind of wide awake; the Unblinking Eye is, you know, watching constantly and it’s very watchful.  It is an elitist wasteland, just full of earmarks and taxes and inefficiencies, and special interests also.
