Sarah Plain and Tall

Sarah Palin wants a cabinet position.

Isn't it enough that we strung her along and let her believe that she had a shot at being vice-president for all that time? Isn't it about time that we let her in on the little secret that she lacks the tools, the training, the mental capacity to be a leader of this country in any capacity? Seriously. Enough is enough.

I blame Alaska. They thought it would be funny if they elected her to be their governor after a long line of corruption. "Shit," they said, "the rest of 'em are thieves. Why don't we elect that news anchor? I bet she'd be as good, don't ya know?"

Well, it was funny while it lasted, but the Alaskans took it too far. "Maybe we can make her vice-president too! Wouldn't that be the kicks!"

And yes, that's funny too. But what the Alaskans forgot to realize is that the national media has no ability to recognize satire when it stares them in the face and refuses to answer questions in a national debate. The national media has never realized that Sarah Palin is, was, and always will be a joke, and now the charade has gone too far, as people are starting to believe the myth that this person--qualified in no way whatsoever--is a potential leader of this country, be it in Obama's cabinet or on her own in 2012.

Seriously, that's about enough.

The sham has gone on long enough. It's time to quit pretending that Sarah Palin is for real. If the media outlets who are going to be interviewing her in the following days have any integrity at all, they'll expose Sarah Palin for who she really is--a puppet sent by the citizens of Alaska to poke fun at the political system.
