After watching Sarah Palin’s performance during a recent interview with Greta Van Susteren, Palin’s resident publicist at Fox, Joe McGinnis, the investigative journalist whose book on Palin, “The Rogue,” will be published this fall, has come to the conclusion that she will in fact run for president next year:
– Joe McGinnis, speaking for millions
I think “The Rogue” says important things about Sarah, about religious extremists (especially Christian Dominionists), about how it’s possible to create a political identity out of a total lie, about mainstream media in America today, about racism (especially Sarah’s special brand), about the difference between image and reality (a question that has interested me since “The Selling of the President,” 1968,) about what loving and raising — as opposed to using — children really means, about her whole story of her pregnancy with Trig and his birth, about hate and divisiveness and the shadows of violence that hang over our land…
But right now I just can’t stand the sight of Sarah’s face or the sound of her voice. I’ve seen one and heard the other too much over the past three years.
And everything she said during those eight minutes with Van Susteren tonight indicates that she will, in fact, announce her intention to run for president. Why call President Obama a “fear-monger” who is “scaring the American people” with his “bizarre…immoral…unethical” pronouncements unless you wanted to reclaim the attention that Michelle Bachmann has stolen from you?
Sarah will run because Michelle is running.
It’s a junior high thing, played out on a national stage to the detriment of our nation.
Not to mention that God still has Sarah on hold. I imagine that for her it’s like it was for me today calling Comcast because our phone was out of order (“due to a higher than expected number of calls, our customer service representatives are busy helping other clients: please stay on the line and your call will be answered in the order it was received.”)
We’ll get service restored no later than 2 p.m. tomorrow.
I hope The Big Guy can do at least as well for Sarah.
After all, she’s got fish to catch, moose to shoot, fences to mend, movies to promote, and presidencies to run for.
Plus, Bishop Muthee is expected back in Wasilla soon to show her how to stick pins into the voodoo doll one of her acolytes sent her, telling her it was a representation of me and my trusty frisbee.
Sarah Palin will NOT run for President. If she lost to Obama, she would have no problem finding people to blame: Obama, the media, the Democrats, the Republicans, anybody but her. If she lost in the GOP primaries, however, she couldn’t blame Obama, the media, or the Democrats. And she understands that this is a serious populist problem for her. Sarah only cares about Sarah, when all is said and done.
That was the conjecture. Mow for the evidence. Everyone who was a potential GOP candidate and was contracted at Fox has done one of two things: Canceled their contracts or stayed relatively out of the spotlight. There are two exceptions: Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin. Mike Huckabee has stated plainly that he is not interested in running for President. Sarah Palin is the only one to remain coy about whether or not she’s going to run. Last year she made $14 million. Even if she didn’t, she has a $1m a year contract with Fox that she isn’t keen on giving up any time soon. Nothing will convince me that she’s running until she gives that up.
I can’t wait to read the book. She is such a joke.
