The Power of Palin

I must be immune.

"Palin’s presence in GOP primaries raises queries about future political bid" by Jeff Zeleny, New York Times | July 18, 2010

I recognized the foul stench when I brought the Glob on board.


LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. — Sarah Palin has delivered a few policy addresses in recent months and seemed to be moving beyond the family drama that often enveloped her.

That changed last week when her daughter Bristol announced on the cover of Us Weekly that she was engaged to her former boyfriend, Levi Johnston, stirring a fresh reminder of the circus-like atmosphere that accompanied the Palins’ arrival to the national scene two years ago.

So that is what the NYT is reading in the newsroom these days, huh?

Palin devotes the majority of her time to her own projects, including appearances as a commentator on Fox News and work on a second book....

Self-promoting Sarah Palin!

Like other national political figures, Palin has been supporting candidates all year, a mix of Tea Party enthusiasts like Rand Paul of Kentucky and a slate of establishment Republicans.

Goodbye, Rand. I disown you if your father doesn't.

But her endorsements did not gain much notice until she weighed in on the South Carolina governor’s race, vaulting Nikki Haley from the bottom rung of candidates to the winner of the Republican nomination last month.

Sorry, Sarah.

"Calif. university says it paid Palin $75k for speech

FRESNO, Calif. — Details about Palin’s contract came to light after students fished part of what appeared to be Palin’s contract from a rubbish bin....

Those a**holes stole the wrong f***ing exam!

The material recovered by the students detailed perks such as first-class airfare for two and deluxe hotel accommodations....

I'm sure the college can come up with a donation from the student fund.

The university, like dozens of other public colleges, has had to cut some classes and cancel several scholarships as a result of California’s ongoing financial woes.

Hey, look, some people need to be pampered!

Still, I'm getting the feeling she could be President seeing as Obomber is handling the job so badly.
