Sarah Palin For President: Because America Needs To Laugh Again (VIDEO)

First Posted: 01/31/2012 8:24 am Updated: 01/31/2012 10:00 am

Sarah Palin may be encouraging voters to rally behind Newt Gingrich, but if we had our way, she would reconsider her own run for the presidency.

After all, without Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and T-Paw, the GOP race has become a downright bore. How many times can we laugh at Mitt Romney stuttering or Newt Gingrich attempting to portray himself as an outsider? That's amateur hour, fellas.

No, for truly sublime campaign laughs, there's only one woman for the job: Sarah Palin. We don't know why she dropped out of the race so soon, but when she did she took a huge piece of comedic material with her: herself.

So we beg you, Sarah, please take a look at the video above and reconsider. This country -- and comedy -- needs you.

I miss the good ol' days when Sarah would make up words, unknowing lie about something that she honestly believes to be true, spy on Russia from her back porch. Please run Sarah!

Absolutely, nothing funnier than someone who doesn't know they are being funny. She is also much easier on the eye than Newt Gingrich.

Secretary of State. It would get him out of the country for long periods and force the rest of the world to endure what the US has endured. Not to mention the sheer entertainment value.

NO, please don't encourage her, she wouldn't get it is comedy, she would think she was needed. She would be all over the TV with that revolting screaming voice that would drive us all insane like she is. Please let sleeping dogs lie, she can't read so hopefully no one reads your article to her.

I did not read this lame atempt by HuffPost to get attention and I'm only commenting to voice my displeasure at seeing her twisted face when even the "lame stream" media is ignoring her. Thank you.

I truely believe a woman could win in a landslide in 2016. Think of the cult of personality that would surround a women. There is more women then men in this country. Men would lay down their lives(votes) for the right women. A sensible women is both beautiful and scarey. A Angela Merkel,Golda Meir type. I'm sure we have raised someone like this in this country. Absolutly serious.

that was funny!!!!! :-D And more "scarey" than you probably realize!

I wasn't trying to be funny, I realize not all women would vote for another women. 90% of the time my comments go for the laugh, can you imagine the hot and smart canidate, at 47 I think I could still get out and vote twice.

I don't disagree with you, but the closest we've come lately is Hillary Clinton. Unfortunately, she had a divisive effect, it was either love her or hate her. Also, and this only based on some discussions in my former workplace, some of the women said they would never vote for a women, period. Who would you think for 2016?

Certainly would be a comedian's dream come true. Don't think many others would be laughing tho.

All the fun dropped out at the beginning. Once Palin and Trump were gone it just wasn't as much fun.
