Andrew Sullivan won’t give up the Palin story and I’m such a political junkie, I’m rivited. I wonder if the transplanted Brit knows the US has seen this before in the 30s?

Because I’m posting remotely the above is the best I can do. Cut n paste for yourself thi time.

Anyway, Sarah Palin seems a direct analog to the early 20th century Sister Aimee. I think the explanation that covers the most facts presently known about the AK Gov.’s resignation is that she has come to believe she is the Joan of Arc of the anti-abortion movement.

Or, you could just say she’s a nutter

BECAUSE I SAID SO

BECAUSE I SAID SO


A local Twitter meme has it that l’Sarah is quitting in AK to come here and be Rep. Sally Kern’s lover. A meanspirited if darkly funny remark. Of course Gretta Van Sustern has been kissing that flag-draped ass for so long and so wetly that the inevitable happened and what’s a snowmobile hero like Todd to do but get a woody watching and join in?
The gov’s announcement statement was almost incomprehensible and her susserant breath intakes sounded like she was asthmatic. As hard as it is to believe, the statement was on a TelePrompTer repleat with ALLCAPS phrases like bad blog comments.
Since she is a fighter and a winner, she is of course quitting because she’s no quitter. Huh? Nevermind. Mary Matalin says it’s a “brilliant” move and William Kristol agrees. In the Internet vernacular: O Rly?
Silly sexual references aside, she’s at that place where governors have to decide to cut the budget and raise revenue and her populist fantasy must give way to governing in tandem with legislators who insist on compromises and that’s not our Sarah.
That disaster of a Wasilla sports complex appears to be coming back to haunt her and who wants to explain why your lake house has the same windows and railings provided by the same builder as the yummy $13 million contract that was soo completely bungled? The same contractor that sponsors Todd’s pro snowmobile racing.
The media, self-centered as it is, gives too much credit to Vanity Fair’s recent 10,000 word profile (vanity thy name is pundit). A run against Obama in 2012? Farfetched, IMHO.
The girl is a nutter with narcisstic personality disorder and with luck will be safely on some obscure Christionist radio talk show in short order.

In other news …

Have a safe and happy holiday weekend.
