NEWS UPDATE: Mother of Palin daughter’s boyfriend arrested
There is one thing I have to say… Well actually a few things, but first and foremost, I feel bad for Sarah Palin. She was just a nice Hockey Mom who felt it her civil duty to run for and win the Alaskan Governor position. Then Hillary Clinton had to set off the “Women’s run for the Presidency” while the republicans were left scrambling to strategically/demographically/myopically (not religiously this time) retaliate.
Enter Sarah Palin.
Do you think Sarah Palin had a plan to run for Vice-President when she first entered the politically arena?
Most likely not. She wanted to be prominent but still have the great outdoors with a loving family. Getting to the point of this post, the media (and maybe a little of herself) completely ripped her a new one politically, but at least she still had her family’s support.
The newest article on Sarah Palin, I felt, was an excellent addition to my Social Caliber category for the fact that now the Media is taking the knife to her social life. She has lost the election, been put through allegations of “losing it for the team” and spending campaign money wrongly. Now she is entangled in what I can most generously call a ‘Jerry Springer fiasco’. More importantly, I took the time to forego reading about how bad the economy is and how bad all the plans are to save it to indulge in a tabloid moment. All I can think after reading the article is, “I wonder what would have happened if she were elected Vice-President and this came out.” If so, I would have been comically creating a conspiracy theory where Hillary Clinton made this Mom’s kid have sex with Sarah Palin’s daughter and then turned the Mom into a crack addict with money from the Clinton Foundation.
So all I can say is Thank you for not winning Sarah Palin. I don’t think I could map out and write a blog that long.
