I’m not sure whether to sarcastically beg the right-wingers to nominate Sarah Palin for president (seems like a guarantee that we will dodge four years of a wacko conservative presidency) or to urge a dose of intelligence be applied where it seems to be grossly lacking. For eight years we had W. and his wonderful wit. Wit that was apparent long before he was even elected (Jan 11, 2000: “Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?”). Yet he landed in the White House not once, but twice.
We are still struggling to dig ourselves out of the holes he so deftly guided us into. OK, I suspect a few gun manufacturers, oil execs and Wall Street CEOs aren’t quite so debt-ridden as the rest of the country.
Sarah would be a fine addition to the 21st century Republican legacy. I can see it now. President Sarah Palin, Vice President Harold Camping and their North Korean allies sitting on her front porch watching Paul Revere ride across the border to warn the Russians that “the rapture is coming, the rapture is coming!”
