...the Hyper-Magnification of Sarah Palin is by no means incidental. She shall return in 2012, and Obama will be remembered as the worst president in the history of this great nation. For now, the media has become a Sarah Palin think tank. The election is over. How much more analysis can they provide? Don’t they ever get sick and tired of re-hashing the same stuff over and over and over and over and over…when will it stop?
Sarah Palin? She is a woman; she has her strengths and she has her weaknesses. She is flawed but compelling nonetheless. She wears halter-tops and designer sunglasses. What else? Should an autopsy be done now? Who knows what we might find? There haven’t been too many things the media hasn’t dissected, but here is a short list:
Does she suppress her sneezes?
Will she elope with George Bush?
Did she ever lie about voting for a bill to ban ant farms in Alaska?
Is she an advocate for gum control and does she blow bubbles?
Did she inhale?
As a child, did she cheat at hopscotch?
What is her voting record on hermaphrodite marriage?
Does she purchase lingerie at dollar stores?
Would she post bail for her husband if he was arrested for driving a back loader on the Beltway?
What brand of dish detergent does she use?
Has she killed an insect without provocation?
Oh…what about the suppressed tapes of her clandestine meeting with a psychiatrist?
“Do you slip at night?”
“Sometimes, when I’m very tired?
“Do you have blackintolly stool?”
“Heavens no.”
“When was last time you had election?”
“C’mon, doc, I’m a woman.”
“Oh. You have claustrophobia?”
“I don’t believe in Santa Claus.”
“Ah. Time is up. That will be $200.”
“What? That was only five minutes.”
“Really? Well, you know what Einstein say?
“No.”
“Time is relative.”
“Not in Wasilla it isn‘t.”
What more do we need to know?
Apparently, much more. There is a reason for all of this after the fact conjecture. Consider the facts. This is a woman who took the blame for McCain‘s loss, yet she has also been referred to as the “real” Republican candidate for President. I cannot recall a Vice Presidential candidate that has stirred so much controversy. You might have expected some, given the gender issue, but in an election year when we had an African American candidate for President, she literally stole the limelight. Interestingly, the Obama camp did nothing in response to this phenomenon. I am convinced that this was a brilliantly conceived strategy that took the focus away from Obama’s weaknesses and gave center stage to the McCain/Palin ticket controversy. When voters stepped into the booths, they did not decide based on issues - they chose quiet harmony over noise; a natural and psychologically predictable response. Yet now that the game is over and both teams have retired to their respective locker rooms, Palin is still in the limelight.
Is this a reflection of the public’s insatiable craving for gossip and “inside information?” No. It was not a factor in the voting booths, and it is not the reason now. Sarah Palin will not fade away. There is a plan in place. Flaws will be excised. Strengths will be used as building blocks for a re-tooled version of Sarah Palin. Much can be accomplished in four years.
If you ask me, I do not think the Republican Party wanted to win this election. Why buy a massive can of worms now that will only weaken its owner? The GOP will wait this one out and pounce in 2012. Sarah Palin will become the prototype…a meticulously trained and ruthless proponent of the party’s master plan - another dynasty with a new face. Barrack Obama will be remembered as “The Little Engine that Couldn’t.” §
