Sorry, I couldn’t resist the P!NK reference. Sarah Palin is too much. She’s like a teenage girl stuck in a 45-year-old’s body, and the entire country is her high school. She’s dying to be popular, she’s well-dressed, and I think she’s convinced that all the rumors she’s spreading will get her enough votes to be class president (read: POTUS). But the icing on the Hostess cupcake in Sarah Palin’s locker has to be what’s written on her hand. Literally.
The former Alaskan governor, and former Vice Presidential candidate, has notes scribbled on her hand as she addresses many adoring crazy people fans at the Tea Party Convention in Nashville on Saturday. Now there’s nothing wrong with having notes for your speech. There’s nothing wrong with having your entire speech on a teleprompter – something Palin has frequently criticized President Obama for. But when someone of Palin’s “stature” uses her hand as a notepad during a keynote address, it’s plain embarrassing. Maybe more than anything she’s said, or any office she’s abandoned, or any outright lie she’s uttered about President Obama, THIS will illustrate that this woman should not be taken seriously. I wouldn’t let Sarah Palin be president of a school’s PTA, much less President of the United States. But stranger things have happened in America (i.e. Dubya being elected TWICE), and America is currently obsessed with putting nice, religious, folksy people in office regardless of their strange track record. So we’ll see what the future holds for Palin. Maybe she’ll borrow her daughter’s Magic 8 Ball and shake it for the answer to the question: “Should I run for president?”
I think this post needs a little P!NK. LOL.
