And if you are one of the blind mice being led, or if you are one of the cynically astute defending her political finger painting and giving support to such nonsense, then you will deserve the eventual outcome that comes with fluffing her head with thousands of dollars.
"Now, a year later, I've got to ask supporters of all that," she told tea partiers, "How's that hopey, changey stuff working out for you?" sing song-ed Sarah, amusing herself and the sheep in the fields, whose money was in her pocket.
To see someone so intellectually vapid given such adoration by an equally simpleminded populace is annoying, but will turn entertaining when Palin goes on to fight tooth and nail come 2012 to take her prize-the presidency. All of which is why Obama is perhaps a bit too passive in his approach to actually achieving any of his major legislative goals. Undoubtedly he realizes that Palin will gum up the Republican machine and make for much merriment. But he shouldn't assume that he cannot be blindsided by someone in-house, posing a takeover. We doubt Hillary Clinton is inclined to just watch from the sidelines if an opportunity presents itself.
In any case Palin has her hand firmly around the simple units of her followers, and wherever she pulls and tugs, they will surely follow in rigid formation.
(Sarah's Policy Pimp Hand: Talk To It, Read It, Remember It)
Here, if we talk to the hand (of Palin), we can see how she plans to solve the myriad problems facing our country: tax cuts, energy (reforms?), lift American spirits. Okay, not exactly her solutions, just the talking or bullet points. But can we really expect realistic, detailed solutions from a woman who literally has to look at her hand to remember her three talking points? This woman who imagines herself the equal of Obama, a man who stood and faced a room full of the opposition, sans teleprompter, and faced them down.
Nobody has yet found the way to force her to sit down and answer any questions in detail, and solutions in her head, like tax cuts, have nothing to do with the problems we face. Cutting taxes does not solve financial collapse. Nor does it stop health care companies, like Anthem Blue Cross in California, from suddenly getting the delusional fortitude to attempt to raise the prices on private insurance premiums by 30-39%.
Palin would need a hand as big as her head to fit an adequate analysis of health reform issues, but unfortunately we are only guaranteed that her head, sans filling, will keep growing to the point of unbearable loftiness.
Other News:
- Wall Street is peeved. How dare you bail us out, then say nasty things about us, and then try to keep us from destabilizing the economy again. Take that Democrat! No money for you! Republicans are smugly enjoying this, although, the average supporter of smug Republican politicians does not seem to realize their party is speaking populism with one tongue, and fellating the industry with the other. Perhaps Obama needs to tone down the rhetoric, while at the same time pointing out Republican lack of regulatory action.
- Senator Shelby, Republican of Alabama, holds people and country at gunpoint. Eventually this type of thing has to stop, or Obama has to make it painfully embarrassing for someone to pull this off.
- Lovers of the status quo need to understand the implications of doing nothing on health care reform. But they won't. And hospitals will suffer. And costs will continue to rise. And Palin will be elected in 2012. And China will invade. And we will all be killed. So please, please realize that doing nothing is actually worse than doing something. (No really, we will all be killed by Chinese death panels if nothing is done).
