It’s been more than 200 days since my last blog post and since that time the economy has gone in the crapper; I’ve gained six pounds; my beloved Hillary lost the primary; my beloved Red Sox lost the playoffs; I learned to love Obama; and good lord, Sarah Palin is running for Vice President. Remind me to write more often. Possibly this whole mess with the country is due to my lack of blogging.
To mirror words from one of my all-time favorite movies, Sound of Music — How do we solve a problem like Sarah Palin? I remember her coming out party and thinking, “We’re doomed.” Mother of five with both a down syndrome baby and a son going to Iraq? Did they order her from central casting??? John McCain smiling triumphantly when he introduced her at the Republican convention. (By the way, I don’t like his teeth.) The lipstick on a pig line. The good ol gal demeanor. Oy vey. This woman is good. She actually came across a bit like a broad — a woman who didn’t care what you thought — a woman who spoke her mind. But then we discovered there wasn’t much in that mind. You can’t speak your mind if you don’t have one, Sarah. Luckily there were enough days and weeks between the convention and the election for the truth to come out and the heat of the Sarah Palin fever to cool. Go back to the tundra, Sarah. Take your Big Dude with you and let America heal. There were some truly good broads that touched on this election…Hillary, Michelle, Elizabeth Edwards…but you, Sarah, you’re no broad. You’re just silly. And I’ll end with one of your trademarks….wink.
