The Palin After-Effect
Is it safe for the Palin truth to come out? Fox News has run with a story dragging out all of her weaknesses, specifically in her knowledge and frame of reference. I don’t know if their agenda is to save face for McCain, but they are no longer concerned about her future. My theory is that they realize what a huge liability she was for the GOP, and they want to aid in the two identities of McCain and Palin being severed from each other. I know these clips are everywhere, but I have put them here below.
Other little tidbits have surfaced as well. One story is the actual price tag on her wardrobe, which dressed more than her, but her family as well. Some of the clothes have gone missing. Weren’t some of them supposed to go to charity? And, let’s all just take a moment to absorb the absurdity over the Africa question. Is it a country or a continent?
Now, she’s returned back home and talks about 2012 being years away- yes it’s four. She states no intentions of running at that time. Can we believe her? Well, if she does run, she will certainly feel differently about journalism, about which she took another chance to speak on her resounding disappointment. Something I initially wondered is when the Palin stories would die down (and can I stay under the bed until they do). However, I now see how important it is for them to continue floating around, at least for now. Her future truly is up in the air, and the possibility of her resurfacing in a major election is unsettling to a lot of Americans.

All the dirt that is coming out is really interesting and entertaining, and some of it I wish we knew during the campaign (isn’t it important to know that she doesn’t know which countries make up North America?). But all this mud-slinging just days after the election not only reveals HER inadequacy, but also the desperation of the Republican party. Ever heard the term “sore losers”? Why is it necessary to place the blame on someone or pinpoint one candidate for being the fault of the election results? They lost and that’s it. Deal with it. And it’s not because of Sarah Palin or John McCain or anyone on their staff. In an economic recession coming out of eight years of Republican dominance and the lowest presidential approval rates of Bush’s career, it would have been nearly impossible for ANY Republican running against ANY Democrat to win this election. Since when did politics get so Hollywood anyway?
