Sarah Palin, gone. No more late night jokes. No more dust ups with David Letterman and Keith Obamaman. People who are now wildly speculating about her future are missing the point. Sarah Palin is leaving politics because it's filled with people who want her to fail. People who have contempt in their heart for just the mention of her name. People who fill newsrooms across America, who purposely design news reports that look at Palin with angst and ridicule.
And even though I predicted that Maverick McCain needed a jolt last fall, he may have done Palin the worst favor of her lifetime. Her Alaskan speaking style and her common sense rhetoric did not fly south of the Canadian border. Even though it was pretty clear that she held her own against Gaffe Biden in the one debate, it was also clear that Sarah may have used the word "maverick" one too many times. Palin is a doer and not a talker. She knows how to DO government right, rather than glide through some silky monologue. Palin is to nuance what trees are to Times Square. Yet, that is why the base loved her. She spoke plainly. She was easy on the eyes. But how can an attractive woman be smart? We need the likes of Barbara Boxer and Hillary Clinton as role models of intellect. Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter need not run for the senate. Michelle Bachman is a fluke. She'll eventually be brought down by an episode of "Countdown".
My view is this; how many times can a woman hear about her pregnant teenage daughter? How many things can be written about a crazy woman who actually practices her anti-abortion preaching? Plus, she attends one of those wacky charasmatic churches, where people pray out loud and believe God can protect our troops. Good grief. The intellectual baffoonery. The backward, neanderthal 1956 thinking. How dare this woman take us back to the dark ages? If she were pro-abortion, she'd be seen as an intellectual giant. If she just stopped shooting that silly gun, she'd be looked at as enlightened. If she would just stop saying "oil and natural gas reserves" and spoke in solareeze, she would be as well spoken as Michael Moore.
All this babbling to make one single point; Sarah Palin is not wanted. Her views, her style, her good looks, all have to go! Her family has been through enough. Todd Palin looks like he wants to snowmobile over someone's head. I wouldn't mess with Todd. Oh, and that's another thing. Sarah has the gall to be married to an alpha-male who could dress down a grizzly bear and survive weeks in the frozen wilderness eating tree bark. Notice how none of the liberal female commentators remarked on how attractive the First Dude is, but gush incessantly over Michelle Obama's buff arms. Egad! The double standard has actually morphed into a blackout or a smear campaign. We know about the pregnancy. We are told to be curious about where baby Trigg came from. We're told that there are a mountain of ethics violations coming down against the governor almost on a daily basis. Fiction is now normal. Set up a goofy narrative and stay on it for 9 months after the election is over.
My take is that Sarah wants out. She wants to go back to being a hockey mom. She doesn't want the oval office, nor does she care for the media bubble that has embraced everything Obama. She can author a book or two and then ride into the Alaskan wilderness without ever stepping foot into the spotlight again. For further research on this, see Dan Quayle. A truly great politician has left the scene and my hunch is she's had enough. Bye bye Sarah.
