A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to The Election

Prediction:

Sarah Palin wins the presidency in 2012.

Why does she win you ask, awakened from your Cannes induced slumber?

Because we can't stop talking about her. It's like the proverbial train wreck...you want to look away but can't stop looking either.

The woman is an icon of the hard far right wing of the nearly defunct Republican Party.

I say nearly defunct because it is not totally defunct...yet.

We keep it alive by actually engaging with it about issues of governance...about which it has demonstrated very little aptitude.

If Sarah Palin wants to rant about David Letterman...let her. When a child carries on about the deprivation of a toy or too few cookies we don't engage...we adults ignore. Soon the brat chills and we get back to the business at hand...whatever that is...ironing, cooking, kissing, arguing, taking out the trash...whatever.

Just ignore the woman and maybe she'll go away....maybe.

But NOOOO...we can't do that...she's too powerful...she's a governor...she's a hockey mom...she's a moose lover and a Todd lover and an advocate for disabled kids and a supporter of the troops...

Wait a minute...

Maybe she ain't so bad after all...

Maybe Letterman is a horse's arse...

Maybe the Republicans are right...

Maybe...

NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!

Prediction #2:

Sarah Palin assumes the presidency on January 20, 2013.

Can you say "Ex-Pat...?"
