With a profile of ruby red bloody meat.
Sarah! is served up in all of her garish glory.
Despite her disastrous performance in the 2008 election, Sarah Palin is still the sexiest brand in Republican politics, with a lucrative book contract for her story. But what Alaska’s charismatic governor wants the public to know about herself doesn’t always jibe with reality.
You don’t even need a knife to enjoy this dish, it cuts like “buttah”
Whatever her political future, the emergence of Sarah Palin raises questions that will not soon go away. What does it say about the nature of modern American politics that a public official who often seems proud of what she does not know is not only accepted but applauded? What does her prominence say about the importance of having (or lacking) a record of achievement in public life? Why did so many skilled veterans of the Republican Party–long regarded as the more adroit team in presidential politics–keep loyally working for her election even after they privately realized she was casual about the truth and totally unfit for the vice-presidency?
Yum!

“dressed all in black; no red Naughty Monkey Double Dare pumps tonight” – Got to love the allusion…is this a DFI post? or the winning opening line in the Bulwer-Lytton Contest (aka Dark and Stormy Night contest) http://www.bulwer-lytton.com/2009.htm
Ahhh but the Bulwer-Lytton contest is fiction and this is non-fiction…
FWIW I really enjoyed this years Bulwer-Lytton winner in the Detective Category – “She walked into my office on legs as long as one of those long-legged birds that you see in Florida – the pink ones, not the white ones – except that she was standing on both of them, not just one of them, like those birds, the pink ones, and she wasn’t wearing pink, but I knew right away that she was trouble, which those birds usually aren’t.”
I mentioned this somewhere else so forgive me if you’ve read it already…
I thought the hostility was a little unnecessary and excessive but other than that it was a fantastic piece.
Two things about her stuck out to me. She’ll be great for that Christian conservative base of the GOP and ill be a great fundraiser and campaigner. For that we shouldn’t underestimate her. However, I fail to see how someone who so easily and needlessly creates enemies could ever earn a powerful position (VP, POTUS, RNC chair, anything like that), but if her history has shown us anything it is if anyone can do it with that style it is her.
Big D – The Naughty Monkey thing is the actual name of the shoe, not a mere rhetorical flourish.

Paula trust me I know my ladies footwear but love the double entendre (Hmmm perhaps this is an overshare)…. IRE agree we shouldn’t underestimate her nor the other GOP that appeals to her base – Huckabee. But, mark my words I’m betting on Huckabee…
