Fireworks and the Full Court Press.
To recap: Republican Governors are having affairs (which is hardly new or news, really)(and I love the word “dalliances,” because it sounds like “alliance,” but, you know, means sex) and Franken won his Senate seat. Again. Eight months after he won it the first time. And also…
Wow, so Sarah Palin announced her upcoming resignation as Governor of Alaska yesterday… Didn’t see that coming. I mean, I’m not that upset, but as far as “making room” for a run in 2012 goes, this seems like a pretty useless move. But this sudden quitting of her post just feels rush and oh so mysterious, right?
It didn’t work for Romney, right? It didn’t work Bob Dole way back when, or Edwards. Running for President as the Governor of Alaska is one thing, but as the former Governor? Congrats. That may be the one thing that actually means less than being the Governor of Alaska. Plus, it kind of seems like her party has moved onto an even more cartoon version of itself than she can muster, but even still, this resignation most likely doesn’t mean that she plans on going away.
Also, it was nice to see all 8 of the residents of Alaska turned out for the speech.
Also, I’m not much of a sports guy, but I think I tend to get most of the bad sports metaphors people want to use when they’re talking, but beyond the “full court press” meanderings, I think I spent half of her speech wondering what the hell she was talking about. She seemed incredibly nervous and razzled. She seemed like she was on a few pills.
I’d be curious to see what the take of the people who actually honestly support further political endeavors from Palin think of all of this. She’d probably be better off getting a show on FOX, right? The more and more I’m exposed to her, the more and more I can’t stand her, but I’d still take her over Glenn Beck any day of the week. Seriously. Also, for the people who claimed that they’d boycott CBS until Letterman was fired, do they no longer watch bullshit like CSI and whatever the fuck else CBS airs? What else does CBS air?
I really don’t miss the election 2008 bullshit at all. Though we did have some fun back then, didn’t we? Anway, go have yourself a great 4th of July, everybody, and here’s to hoping you make some nice fireworks of your own…
