Obama is back on the hot seat now that Jacko is dead, Sarah Palin is the Political Undead and Gov. Sanford got a “get out of jail free” card. Now the pundits are focused on the economy and why Obama hasn’t produced miracles yet.
If I were Obama, I would hope that another pop icon or political enigma hogs the airwaves for at least 6 months.
Gov. Sanford is really lucky.
Just when it looked like he could never recover, Michael Jackson died and Sarah Palin resigned.
And Michael Jackson is still dead (as is Generalissimo Francisco Franco) and will presumably stop making news some time soon.
But Sarah Palin will forever make headlines and late night joke lines and blogoshpere fodder. She is the Political Undead.
Sanford owes her big.
Who is more lame, the girl who had 56 stars tattooed on her face and who (out of a little-too-little-a-little-too-late fear of her parents’ hysteria) claimed she fell asleep while someone was drilling ink in her face or the family values governor of South Carolina who flew to Argentina to visit his mistress over Father’s Day weekend and claiming that he took a long hike along the Appalachian trail? I think the governor is more lame because he is older and supposed to know better. And this guy was someone planning to run for President in 2012. Thank G-d we found out now that he has no, or supremely bad, judgment. I would have appreciated a Heavenly heads-up about Bush II.
