I’m certain you’ve heard, the inevitable has happened. Like steel filings to a magnet, Fox News has snagged Sarah Palin. In part, Palin gushed that it was "wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news." In-flight sick bag anyone?
Fox News knows there are over a million Facebook fans of Palin alone, and are pleased to add Sarah Palin to their notorious roster of dim bulbs. Palin will be a guest contributor on other shows, but oddly hasn’t been awarded her own.
Someone at Fox must recognize that she has little interest in showing up for work, loses all interest after wardrobe, and that Steve Schmidt’s recollections of the nightmare it was to attempt preparing her during the McCain campaign are true. Schmidt eventually discovered why she didn’t need to waste valuable time in preparation, when he inquired if she were nervous. Cool Breeze Winky Palin replied that it was "God’s plan". It’s a pity for McCain that he didn’t know God had set out to sink his ship.
Margaret Carlson of Bloomberg News joins with interesting information about Karl Rove’s part in the McCain drama. Most of all, she answers the mystery of Sarah Palin’s popularity with a certain growing group of people. Much like George Bush, they don’t like people who use fancy high falutin’ words, are intelligent, or informed. They’ve struck gold with Palin!Though she’s a millionaire, they identify with her and her brand of Christianity, featuring such greats as witch hunting Rev Muthee. The dumbing down of America is complete.
Carlson points out that populists have always been fairly informed and intelligent despite their folksy appeal, but Palin is genuinely uninformed, uninterested, and stupid, needing no preparation, leaving it all up to God. That process worked swimmingly on the Katie Couric interview, and she wasn’t given toughies such as whether there is a North and a South Korea, simply what she read and similar questions she felt that Satan had set out for her.
