She's B-A-C-K!

It is June 2009 – seven long months since the Presidential election. Would someone PLEASE take Ms. Tundra-Beauty-Pageant Palin aside and tell her? Yes, Sarah, your 15 minutes of fame is OVER!

She doesn’t want the shine of bright lights to end. Sarah, not satisfied to remain in her own empire of the Great White North, takes every opportunity to grab the spotlight. Smile, wave, walk for the cameras, Sarah.

Yes, she’s attractive, I will not debate that point. But then the gal opens her mouth and all thoughts of “beauty and brains” ends. She may be able to WOW the crowd and get them to chant, “Sarah, Sarah, Sarah” but substance is definitely lacking.

Sarah was interviewed on June 8 by Sean HannitySean Hannity (he is a safer choice than the “drive-by media” diva Katie CouricKatie Couric) where Sarah used wonderful, descriptive euphemisms:

“It’s so good to be here in your stomping grounds”

“We said, you know, we’ll dig into there, and we will make sure that we know what those strings are.”

“So we saw the fat strings attached to these dollars, the least of which is the contribution to the federal government’s dizzying debt that we’re handing to our kids.”

“Well, I vetoed a bucket of the money, not a whole lot, we did accept education dollars and infrastructure dollars, but dollars that were tied to universal energy building codes for Alaska, kind of a one-size-fits-all building code that isn’t going to work up there in Alaska and really prohibits opportunity to build and to develop, and just wasn’t going to work up there in Alaska, so I vetoed a bucket of that money.”

“America is digging a deeper hole, and how are we paying for this government largesse? We’re borrowing from China, and when you consider that now we own 60 percent of General Motors or the U.S. government does, consider, but who is the U.S. government becoming more and more indebted to?”

That is just a few of the sound-bytes from the Hannity interview. If Palin wants to be taken seriously by the American people, perhaps she should begin with a Sylvan Learning Center vocabulary course. Following that, a class on American politics would be in order.

She believes her “down home”, “round the kitchen table”, talk will endear her to the American public. Sarah, that might be an attractive trait in Wasilla Alaska, but in the nation’s capitol, it just makes you look like a “back-woods hick.”

Keep smiling and waving to your fans…I doubt any of those who scream your name at speaking engagements are planning to cast their vote for you as president in 2012. Instead, spend your time in Alaska, getting your constituents to support you for another term as governor – you aren’t “movin’ on up.”
