Sarah, don’t do it. I still have two more months ‘til football starts and I need SOMETHING to read on the internet during all those conference calls. Surely it will take more than one rambling, incoherent resignation speech to stop the juggernaut of Caribou Barbie.
Have you honestly seen any other failed VP candidate cause this kind of a stir? Lloyd Bentsen lived to be 105 and never accumulated this much publicity. (My apologies to Lloyd Bentsen if he’s actually still alive – but it would underscore my point.)
Actually, in this particular episode of Northern Exposure – it's the pundits and professionals that are the most fun to watch. People who would otherwise be in President McCain’s cabinet right now are busy engaging in an especially catty episode of Gossip Girl all over the pages of Vanity Fair magazine. Bloggers have started a “Shoe Watch” in anticipation of the rest of the story. And Sarah Palin is alternatively “crazy like a fox” or “one nutty buddy” depending on whether you lean Wall Street Journal or New York Times.
I read the text of her resignation speech which…I swear…contained 17 exclamation points and 2 smiley faces. As Gail Collins wrote: “Truly, Sarah Palin has come a long way. When she ran for vice president, she frequently became disjointed and garbled when she departed from her prepared remarks. Now the prepared remarks are incoherent, too.”
But me? I couldn’t help but feel inspired to “effect positive change outside government at this point in time on another scale and actually make a difference for our priorities.”
Oh, Sarah…I can’t quit you.
