For all the talk of the Democrats being ZOMGZ slaughtered in the midterm elections, the only real sort of gains we saw were in the House. I wouldn’t ride that Republican wave. I wouldn’t even be scurred if it crashed into a small country.
But for those of you people who are living under a rock, there’s this politician called Sarah Palin. She’s from a small town in Alaska, and in the noblest gesture she could devise, she dedicated her life to public service and patronizing people. Simultaneously. This led to a vice presidential nomination, and now a desire to run for president tempered by neither common sense or class — basically, all the ingredients you need for the best media show to ever hit the country. A middle-class powerhouse — a reality TV pitch.
God bless her, though, she’s not too bright. When appearing on Fox News with Geraldine Ferraro, she licked her lips when presented with the possibility that a female president was coming.
I can’t be the only one who wants her to run just so she can set back female politicians by a hundred years. I can’t be. Everything after Sarah Palin will be a Sisyphus-like struggle to push a rock back up a hill that was toppled by a crazy lady. Which admittedly, isn’t good for half the population, but is damn entertaining.

So sorry people, you’re never going to bury Sarah Palin. She’ll let GW have the next week and then it will be wall to wall Palin, SPAlaska and her America by Heart book tour.Sarah is America, while Obama is God damn America. Big effing difference.
