What will the moose do without you?


Sexy Sarah (Palin) seems to be showing her crazy once again.

I don’t think I was the only one saying WTF upon hearing of her resignation. I quickly went from WTF to cautious optimism that this is truly the beginning of the end for Palin, the political cheerleader. I doubt it though. She loves the spotlight and seems to thrive on showcasing what an idiot she can be, to the public especially. Usually when you’re not the brightest bulb, you should remain in the dark for a reason.

If she really does hope to run for president in 2012, then what kind of message does this send? I don’t want to do this job anymore, so I’m not going to. I’m fairly certain this is not the mantra of presidential material.

In her speech, she said a lot of nothing. Although, there were hints of campaign rhetoric splintered throughout her stream of consciousness. “..And it’ll be good. So God bless you, and from me and from my family to all Alaska [insert whichever state she’s campaigning in], you have my heart.”

And if she plans to use her book tour as a platform for campaign visibility, I wonder what else Palin will spend the next two years doing to prep for November 6, 2012. I can only envision her becoming Student Sarah, sitting in a classroom learning all about government, International affairs, and how to pronounce the names of certain countries correctly. She’ll take an accelerated class on Political Science 101 and she’ll have daily flash cards on who’s the president of Mexico, and why North Korea always has a frowny face next to it.

And not to worry, the entire time Student Sarah will look oh-so-chic in those fashionable glasses that nobody will notice that you can’t cover up incompetence and ignorance with a book jacket.

Try as I might to find just the right words to showcase my feelings on Palin, Maureen Dowd (as always) of the NY Times managed to succinctly express how she feels about “Caribou Barbie”. Check out her latest op-ed piece at http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/05/opinion/05dowd.html?em.

If you are a fan of Sexy Sarah, feel free to tell me in as many words as you’d like how wrong I am. Extra points for anyone who makes a cheer out of it, pom poms optional.
