Sarah Palin looks good on TV. One of the things that anyone who has been around showbiz knows is that the camera loves certain people. There has been a lot of ideas as to what that is and why. Merv Griffin had "the big head" theory. He believed that people whose heads were inordinately bigger than their bodies, looked great on TV. The head can be empty, but it has got to be big! It was one of the reasons he cast Vanna White and Pat Sajak on Wheel of Fortune. Both of them have big heads and very thin frames. I have met both Al Pacino and Dustin Hoffman and the first thing you notice is that they have huge heads relative to their bodies. These people don't have empty heads, but Sarah Palins is and Fox and friends want to fill it up.
There are other theories. The amount of space between the eyes, how big ones eyes are, so on and so forth. Whatever the reason the camera loves Sarah, and she loves the camera. Her dream as a youngin in the wilds of Alaska was to be a sportscaster on ESPN. She even named her daughter Bristol after the town of Bristol Connecticut, where ESPN is headquartered. And I thought people in LA had weird ideas about naming kids. Fidel Castro wanted to be a big league ball player and Sarah wanted to be sports caster. Neither achieved their initial dream. So they became revolutionaries, and in my minds eye, selling out to the highest bidder. Fidel to Russia, Sarah to the right wing powers that want to take the country away from the individual and hand it to the corporations. I think the world of sports owes the people of America and Cuba and apology. With just a little twist in history, we could have had Sarah the sportscaster and commentator writing a book about the great New York Yankee, Fidel Castro.
Sarah was brought into the national spotlight by John McCain and the whole right wing world treated her like a non singing Brittany Spears, with out knowing doodle squat about Mama Moose Hunter. They giggled like tweens at a Brittany concert at the mere mention of her name. Because like Brittany what she lacks in talent and intelligence she makes up for by being oh so hot, on camera.
Now the Soccer Mom on steroids is wreaking havoc in her own party. Backing third party candidates, going rogue on Newt Gingrich like she did on John McCain. Poor Newtie! At one time he was all smitten over Ariana Huffington. That was back when she was married to a guy who was running for the House of Representatives in Cali as a Republican. He had a couple of problems, one he was gay, bad for his marriage bad for his right wing political career. Ariana, after hanging out with Newtie and the BlowHards decided they were a bunch of lying bastards set out to expose them and found good ole fashioned red blooded liberalism.
Newtie was love sick. Now many years later like an abused spouse who thinks they have broken the cycle of abuse with their new love, Newt finds himself being pimp slapped by the She Wolf OF Wasilia, having his candidate in the 23rd district in New York being kicked around by Sarah and friends as they back a right wing, wing nut for the gig.
See Sarah is all about Sarah. She will switch sides and friends faster than a villager in Vietnam in 1968. The title of this article is Sarah, the cutest little Socialist. Now here is why, During her aborted term as Governor of Alaska, AND she was the one who decided not to take not take the job to full term, and ya can't blame her it's a woman right to choose, She raided taxes faster than a Van Halen groupie used to raise her skirt. Her taxes effectively gave the state of Alaska billions of dollars in revenue. By some estimates 75% of the revenue. She added to and raised windfall profits tax, and then and then, wait for it she gave everyone in Alaska 1200 dollars to pay for gas. That was on top of the near 2000 dollars a year citizens of Alaska get just for living their. I'm a gonna repeat that. People in Alaska get a check just for living there! SARAH IS A DIRTY COMMIE!
Doncha see! Awwww lawdy! Doncha see! Sarah is acting like a right wing loon so her and her friends in the Soviet Union, you know the guys she can see from her house, can take over America. Nahhh, even I know that is true.
Sarah likes being on the TV, plain and simple. She loves show biz. The now more dangerous than ever right wing, the people who want to take all the power and all the money from the confused and frustrated American middle class, need a new front person. Some one who isn't all that smart but can spin a good yard. Like Ronnie in the old days, and Georgie the rakish bad boy in the 90's.
She doesn't like doing the hard work of governing. She proved that when she quit on the good folks of Alaska. That makes the right wing real happy happy joy joy. "Why Sarah, you leave the hard stuff like writing and reading to us. You just go out there and wink at that silly camera."
She lights the roar of the grease paint and the smell of a the crowd. Right now she has been cast in the role of good looking charismatic right wing revolutionary. If she ever gets higher office the folks at Fox Studios will give her a new script to follow, a new part to play, and knowing what I know about those guys, they don't like the actors messing with the script..
