Improvin' the Wannabe Decider
So the Republican National Committee spent $150,000 on improvements to Sarah Palin?
We knew that some major work was needed but we didn't think it would cost that much.
The RNC must have felt that outfits at JC Penney or Target - surely the type of store likely to be patronized by the 'frugal' governor - were unsuitable, considering that she is runnin' for vice-president.
We have news for the RNC: you can dress her up all you want but you cannot hide the fact that Mrs Palin is dumb as a stump. Not that this is necessarily a negative quality - heaven only knows how many dumb but attractive women are in surprisingly elevated positions as wives, girlfriends, actresses, singers, members of one board or another, but they usually have somethin' that Mrs. Palin does not, namely a pleasin' personality. There have been comparisons to a pit bull - but the canine does not have her nasal whine, which even strenuous coachin' by a former actor cannot completely subdue. We are reminded more forcefully of Bart Simpson's Grampa's false teeth as they are clamped tightly onto a fan blade, sending Bart very nearly into orbit. In that same way Mrs Palin seizes hold of somethin' and refuses to yield, even when the RNC is goin' into a cataplectic fit upon hearin' her lies about Obama "pallin' around with terrorists".
The longer Mrs. Palin is left loose in the public eye, the more she grates, whether she is denyin' that the RNC spent the equivalent of at least a one-bedroom condo on her appearance, or she is tellin' tall tales about the vice president's function in the Senate - "A vice president has a really great job because not only are they there to support the president's agenda, they're there like the team member, the teammate to the president. But also, they're in charge of the United States Senate, so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom. And it's a great job and I look forward to havin' that job.”
Admittedly she was talkin' to grade three students but this deep misunderstandin' of the role of the vice president vis-a-vis the Senate - to cast the decidin' vote in times of a tie - also shows how inflated and self-aggrandizin' a view Mrs Palin has of herself. Can she blame it on the Alaskan air? You betcha! Is Alaska not the place where cabbages grow to the size of Volkswagens?
We have previously noted that Mrs Palin is hyper-ambitious. In her own mind, at least, she appears to be well on the road to the White House - whether via the increasingly less likely route of accompanyin' an elderly candidate and prayin' for the unsayable as others pray for rain, or perhaps in 2012, as candidate for the Republican Party. On this point one must hope, in all earnestness and with all sincerity, that the Party will irrevocably scotch that stupid idea if they wish ever to return to significant power. One Decider was more than enough. Mrs Palin may look sexy to a lot of men but to the Party itself she must be an ever heavier, more obvious albatross.
