Hop on Pop, Palin on Fox
It's ok that they 'Chose Life', just don't take that choice away from others...
It is always difficult to argue with people who site “God’s Plan” as their justification for what they do or don’t do, isn’t it?
I was pleased to hear that Sarah Palin had joined the Fox New news team. It would seem now that my exposure to her propogatin’ and talkin’ about what weighs on the minds and hearts of the American People,er, uh, her loyal fans, is mitigated by the fact that I don’t watch Fox News. Not ever.
The broader speculation is that Palin has officially taken a 2012 run at the Presidency off her salmon burger serving table, believing that God’s Plan for her is to advance the national conservative agenda from the Fox News studio rather than the Oval Office.
During Palin’s campaign run, False Auntie once commented that among the complex reasons that Palin was a weak Vice Presidential candidate is that she lacks intellectual curiosity.
It’s not that Sarah Palin isn’t capable of articulating her opinions, or that her opinions aren’t valid, but rather that her opinions and her depth of knowledge is equivalent to that of a middle-school-er. She lacks the critical thinking and analytical skills that make for both good pundits and good politicians.
I can’t stand Bill O’Reilly, but he holds his Masters Degree in Public Administration from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. Ann Coulter scares me to death, but has her JD from the University of Michigan Law School and was the editor of the Michigan Law Review. Sarah Palin has a borderline speech impediment, admittedly doesn’t read and as such has a limited vocabulary, and has a sketchy academic track record that includes 3 marginal universities before graduating with a communications-journalism degree and a minor in political science from the University of Idaho.
On Fox, Palin won’t be able to conceal that which she does not know, which is plenty, and she’s lost “campaign stress” as a possible defense. She won’t be able to keep up with O’Reilly who will tire of her pedantic, tea-spoon depth of understanding and of lobbing her softballs. I predict Sarah’s stint on Fox will be short lived and that as she makes more appearances, her growing insecurities will flare when she’s challenged or questioned on inaccurate statements she will undoubtedly make. Palin will eventually resign, because conveniently her, up until this point, incredibly capable and independent family will need her.
That too, will be God’s Plan, won’t it?
