Whatever happened to Sarah Palin?
You know, the idiot that ran with the white-haired old dude on the Republican ticket just recently. The one who called people “jerks” because they tried to give her advice. The one who got messed up with the $150,000 + wardrobe malfunction. Wonder where those clothes are now? Probably hanging right in her closet.
Right after the election there was some minor Palinteria. She gave a few self-serving interviews, blaming everything on everybody else, except herself. The Saks mess wasn’t her idea. Funny how someone hailed as a strong-willed woman, just gave in to whatever people told her to do. Doesn’t sound very strong-willed to me.
Of course, little Sarah was lying from the gitgo. Lied about the Bridge to Nowhere, lied about selling the state jet, lied about hating pork, lied about…well, you get the idea. Her pants were long ago consumed by fire.
No doubt Palin will be popping up on talk shows and who knows what else. If the circus comes to town, she just might be there. But the big question is What’s next for Governor Betcha? Right after the election, she was first in a poll for the Republican 2012 nomination. Can that last? Well, four years is a long time in politics, and anything can happen, as witness the candidacy of Barack Obama, but I just don’t see Palin as a long term possibility. The American people will go for most anything, but it’s hard to believe they’ll go for a dumb bunny like Palin. She may huff and puff, and go on about reformers and mavericks, but the fact is Palin is just another old-fashioned political hack masquerading as something different. She just doesn’t have the brains to pull this kind of thing off. Americans have been exposed to her dumb as lumber act, and it doesn’t seem to have enough takers. Yes, she’ll show up every once in a while, deliver her usual nutty talking points, and try to pretend somebody cares. They don’t. Palin is just an accidental sideshow, who will slowly fade into irrelevance. The turkey you can’t save is yourself.
