The Republican bimbo-in-chief has cut her losses & run from the now-mundane business of fulfilling her obligations as governor of Alaska. As she promised on 3 July, Sarah Palin made one last round of barnstorming the state & public picnics & then walked off into the metaphoric sunset on Sunday.
Too bad Walt Disney’s not around to stage those events—I have this vision of Pollyana’s town fair.
La Palin has said that it’s a far, far better thing she does than she’s ever done before (no, not in those words; literature’s not her thing), because if she didn’t leave now, 18 months before her term ends, Alaska would be burdened with a lame duck governor!
Now, politics is not my thing, but isn’t that, you know, part of the whole game? Being a leader the entire term you were elected to? If she were to be, God forbid, elected to higher office, would she bag the last couple of years there, too?
Of course, she’s got Other Things on her mind—conning supporters into shelling out for her various legal defense actions, offering to campaign on behalf of Republican candidates around the country (office not specified), let a ghost writer pen her autobiography.
Jury’s still out on what her own political plans are. Well, we know what her aspirations are; whether the Republican party will remain in a state of fugue & support her remains to be seen.
What I want to know is: what happened to that $100,000 Neiman-Marcus wardrobe the ‘Pubs bought for her?
