FORGETTING SARAH PALIN
July 8, 2009


Sarah Palin has deeply disappointed her enemies. People who hate her guts feel
she's really let them down by resigning.


She's like the ex-girlfriend they're SO over, never want to see again, have
already forgotten about -- really, it's O-ver -- but they just can't stop
talking about her.


Liberal: Ha, ha ... Sarah who? She's over, she's toast, a future Trivial
Pursuit answer, nothing more.


Normal person: Whatever. How about the North Korean missiles?


Liberal: Can you believe she just resigned the governorship like that? What a
quitter!


Normal person: Speaking of quitting, how's work?


Liberal: Did you hear she might get a TV show? There's no way Sarah Palin's
getting a TV show! No way! I can't believe stupid Sarah Palin could get her
own stupid TV show now. Well, I'm sure not gonna watch it -- that's for sure!


Normal person: Have you seen all the Michael Jackson coverage on TV?


Liberal: How does she think she can run for president in 2012 if she can't
finish her term as governor of a Podunk state? She's finished.


Normal person: OK, then! You won't have to vote for her.


Liberal: I was never going to vote for her! But now I'm not going to vote for
her twice. And I will never watch her TV show. I am so over her.


Reporters had already written their stories on Palin's press conference --
"rambling!" "incoherent!" -- before she even stepped to
the podium.


Whatever you think of Palin, her argument for resigning was the opposite of
"rambling" and "incoherent."


Palin's basketball analogy couldn't have been clearer, even to prissy liberal
pundits who get uncomfortable when the subject turns to sports: She decided to
destroy the other team's game plan, which has been to obsessively focus on
her, by resigning.


This is particularly apt here -- she's passing the ball to a fantastic
right-wing lieutenant governor, who shares her principles but doesn't set off
the left's neuroses.


This is better for him, better for the state, better for the conservative
program and better for Palin personally, whose family is sick of all the crap.
Now she can make a lot of money and promote conservatism on a national stage.


It certainly won't be held against Palin by people who don't already loathe
her. (On the other hand, her approval ratings among people who think she's
worse than Hitler are down to 48 percent.)


With the left frenetically filing ethics complaint after ethics complaint
against Palin, costing her state millions of dollars and her personally half a
million dollars, citizens of Alaska must be asking, "Can we please have our
state back?"


But to read the news reports -- which actually were rambling and incoherent --
you would think Palin was speaking in tongues.


The truth is liberals are furious they won't have Sarah Palin to kick around
anymore -- at least not with Palin's hands tied behind her back by her public
office.


Something tells me Keith Olbermann isn't going to be pulling any big numbers
this summer attacking Eric Cantor and Michele Bachmann. I don't anticipate any
sudden outbreaks of "Mitch McConnell Derangement Syndrome."


Soon we'll only hear about Keith when his creepy e-mails using his mother's
death to hit on chicks start making the rounds again. (Tip to Keith: When a
girl refuses to give you her phone number, her assistant's phone number or her
personal e-mail address, and only gives you her assistant's e-mail address,
you're not halfway in the sack.)


Bonus: If Olbermann gets canceled as a result of Palin's resignation, that
will put her in a really good position for 2012.


But instead of being honest and saying, "Oh well, it was a good ride while it
lasted," liberal chatterers indignantly demand: "Is this not the greatest
betrayal a public servant ever committed against the people?"


On one hand, liberals are enraged at the heinousness of Mark Sanford -- whom
they didn't vote for -- for not resigning and, on the other, they're enraged
at Palin -- whom they also didn't vote for -- for resigning.


The peculiarly venomous hatred of Palin is driven by women of the left and
their whipped consorts. All that needs to happen is for a feminist to overhear
two Nation readers saying, "I hate to admit it, but Palin is kind of
hot" and
... WHAT??????????? YOU CALL THAT HOT? I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW
WE'VE GOT A MEGA-SUPER HOTTIE IN DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. AND
NEED I REMIND YOU AGAIN OF THE RAW SEX APPEAL OF RACHEL MADDOW?


Democrats are a party of women, and nothing drives them off their gourds like
a beautiful Christian conservative. (How much money has that other beautiful
born-again, Carrie Prejean, been forced to spend on lawyers to respond to
liberal hysteria?)


So the motives are clear, but the money is not. Who is paying the rent for the
losers filing all these frivolous complaints against Palin?


At least when Richard Mellon Scaife was funding investigations of Bill
Clinton, we knew who Scaife was, he was an American citizen, and his money was
accessible to U.S. tax authorities and not stashed in offshore accounts like a
certain Hungarian Nazi-collaborator I can name.


How about some modern-day Scaife investigate the investigators?
