Ok, now I feel bad for Sarah Palin

I never thought I would write, let alone think, that I feel sorry for Sarah Palin.  But her progressively steeper downward spiral is as ooky as watching photo montage of Michael Jackson as he morphed from a person to plastic surgery super-weirdo.  By contrast, Kerry’s various explanations of being for the Iraq War before he was against it are models of clarity.  Based on what I read about her second press conference to clarify her first press conference, I imagine that, by the time this political sideshow ends, there will be an anthology of clarifying statements for future generations to ponder.

I think she will be responsible for a new words in the English lexicon:  palinate: (verb) means to implode or self-immolate.  palination: (noun) implosion or self-immolation.

I feel bad for her kids.

Sarah, please defect

So, today I happen to speak to many people who are fluent English speakers and English is their second, third and, in one case, fourth language. Each one speaks English more coherently and with better grammar than does Sarah Palin. Of course, they each assumed that they were rusty on idioms because they couldn’t understand her. Idiom is not the word that fits.

Marion Barry (DC Mayor) and Richard Nixon and Sarah Palin

Marion Barry, formerly known as the crack smoking, prostitute patronizing mayor of DC, who reincarnated as a religious, righteous man and DC council member, is in trouble for stalking someone.  Hell, next year, the man will get a lifetime achievement award at the fancy Press Corps dinner with the president speaking.  After all, Marion Barry sells newspapers.  Richard Nixon, our disgraced, drug addicted (prescription pills are sooooo establishment), criminal ex-president, was reincarnated as an elder statesman in his later years. Now that I think of it, I am really scared that Sarah Palin could really make a comeback. Because, clearly, anything is possible in America.

Sarah Palin is bailin’

I was away this weekend, trying to unplug and relax.  I worried about a threatened North Korean attack on the Fourth of July but that would mean that Kim Dong Il was crazy, sick AND stupid.  Still, in the back of my mind, I worried.  I thought Honduras would continue in chaos as nations back the principle of democracy although probably not the president himself.  Even Dick Cheney gave it a rest.  Ok, I thought, the usual grandstanding in Washington while everyone sets about the “people’s business”.

Oh, no! Sarah Palin is back! Check Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary.  She is listed under antonyms for “articulate”, “cogent” and “decipherable”.  She bails because she does not want to be a lame duck? So, she passes the fiscal mess (recession compounded by low oil revenues) to the lieutenant governor?  Unless he is running for governor in the next election, isn’t he a lame duck as well?  I guess she wins the title, “Lamer Duck of Alaska”.  (There would have to be three competitors in order to have a “most lame”, but, Sarah, dear, don’t start worrying about grammar.)  Must be something about the days of Sarah Barricuda or the beauty pageants.

So Governor Family Values Stanford goes down the Appalachian trail. Then Governor Responsibility in Government (but not in family planning) Palin goes OFF the Appalachian trail.

P.S.:  Sarah, being a leader is about sticking it out when it becomes hard and tough decisions have to be made.  Thank G-d you were not vice president.  If you had to ascend to the presidency, would you have bailed if Russia got tough, or Pakistan fell to the Taliban?
