THE SOUND OF ONE BUBBLE BURSTING



According to Keith Olbermann, Sarah Palin (left) has dropped a total of ten points in Newsweek polls since just last Saturday. I can freely say that I’m delighted. As a closet neo-socialist I need to believe that humanity is basically humane, or – if it’s all Hobbesian tooth and claw – what’s the fucking point? Just two weeks ago, when I posted Palin on the cover of Vogue, my first instinct was to savage the woman. I knew her for the narrow, sarcastic head mistress that she was. But after a first flurry I increasing wanted out. It seemed unseemly to engage such a monster of mediocrity. Should I ignore her? Not even mention her name? Couldn’t a proud citizenry make her for an attention grabbing non-entity on their own? Then, today, the word came from Olbermann that her approval/popularity was dropping was fast as the stock market, and even conservatives were concerned such a creature might one day control nukes. Could it be that the people would restore my faith by finally waking from the idiot’s dream and seeing Gov. Palin as a bogus bumpkin, mendacious and mean, unqualified uninformed and under investigation? I sincerely hope it’s the case.

Could we have Palin wrapped in electrical tape if we asked nicely.
