Sarah, We'd Like to Miss You, but You Won't Go Away


They're missing the story again.

Remember when Hillary was a lock to win the Democratic nomination? And so was Romney? And watch out for Fred Thompson?

Obama winning? Not a chance.

Conventional media wisdom has been wrong much much more than it has been right.

So when 14 million people are out of work, the American auto makers are about to close up shop and Secty. Paulson appears to have lost his mind... When President Barak Obama is putting together his administration at a time of great emergency...why is it that all I see is Sarah Palin?

I mean, I like watching Republicans make fools of themselves as much as the next guy, something they have, thankfully, not ceased even for a split second.

I suppose she thinks she's saying things that people like her want to hear, but she looks like a polar bear on an ice floe, floating out to sea, bellowing on her way out.

Note to TV and radio news directors and producers:

We nevah liked her. When Peggy Noonan says, "It's over," upon setting her eyes on Palin... When Palin's negatives went so far South, you'd think they were in Brazil looking for summer... Maybe you should consider covering something else. A demolition derby. A lost dog....

Or an Obama administration that is about to sweep away as much of the Bush administration as it can, as fast as it can.

Why do you keep seeing so much of Palin? Because you keep looking for her. She's a gold mine and you know it. Stop pretending she's not half your act.

Guess what?

I got a fever, and the only prescription is more Palin.

Ya gotta admit, folks, there's never been anything like her. Even Diana, who was arguably just as famous and had problems of her own, didn't come close to this....this....I can't find the word.

Yesterday I was sure I was over her; felt a certain serenity; the speech and the press conference in Miami seemed like the fitting awkward end.

So what do I do first thing this morning? Search around to see if she has popped up again anywhere. Oh, Sarah, will I ever be able to let you go?

When the ratings go the way of the poll numbers, she will cease to be able to find a camera to stand in front of or a microphone in which to speak. Stop looking, and stop listening.

A Motley Crue quote comes to mind when she "rears her head" like Putin -"Girl, don't go away mad, just GO AWAY!"

Was this little goodwill tour of Palin supposed to help her? If anything, it just confirms why the McCain camp tried to keep her from the press. She has nothing to offer and can not speak clearly. All she can do is repeat is campagn stump speeches She actually spoke about Joe the Plumber in her speech to the Govs. What?????

Listening to her ramble on Larry King reminded me of her famous interview with Couric. Sarah is still blaming Couric, but this week, Sarah was allowed to be Sarah and she still made no sense. She was still talking about McCain being a true American hero to Larry King. I wondered if she realized that the election is over.

Truth be told, I think she knows, but she doesn't have anything to add.
She does political talk (shoring up the economy) but can't offer any specifics on ANYTHING.

At some silly place she has learned that the earth is 6000 years old and that humans walked with dinasours.

Alaska's and the Siberian perma frost has been carbon dated to more than 15,000 years old along with the mastadon and mamoth ellafants.

Sara Palin is the governor of Alaska though I do not know which planet she lives on.

Unfortunately her circus act is more entertaining then facing the collapse of our lives and the financial system.

She has a cockiness about her that craves media attention, wringing all the bells and whistles but saying nothing
02:00 AM on 11/14/2008
She's like a car wreck. We can't stop looking...

What's with this talking with her hands? Does she think that looking at those long fingers will distract us from the fact that she is saying the same old thing again and again?

In case you hadn't noticed, Barack talks with his hands, too.

Of course, in his case, they're attached to a functioning brain.
