Farewell To Sarah: Someone Will Miss You, But Who?

I bid thee farewell dear Sarah. Though someone will miss you, donīt count on me. In my most un-humble opinion youīve made a fool of America and Alaskans alike (they are the same thing arenīt they?). Now your explanation for stepping down from the governorship leaves me breathless and totally confused. Is there something youīre not telling us? Have you been to Argentina? Have you been drinking too much moose drippings?
Apparently Sarah thinks she can be of more service to her state if she steps down. Heck, I could have made that observation. She can help her constituents better by being a plain-clothes citizen. Hmm? She states that she would be a lame duck governor and doesnīt think she could effect change under those conditions. Duh. Dear Sarah what do you think your replacementīs going to face?
How many lame duck presidents have we had in this country? Did they resign? No. They tried to work with what they had been handed. Most didnīt fold and walk away from their responsibilities. Not you Mrs. Governor. You have chosen the easy path, "the one most traveled by," not the one Robert Frost suggested we all take. You do know whom Robert Frost is, donīt you? Why ask? Iīm an idiot.
This has been a pretty one-sided week for news. With the unfortunate passing of Michael Jackson, Billy Mays, Farah Faucett, and the whinings of Governor Sanford. I guess one could say that Sarahīs news is anti-climatic for an already depressing week of news. Heck, even the local fireworks were cancelled in my hometown because of rain. What a bummer.
CNN, MSNBC, HLN, and FIX News have tried to somehow relate your crazy action to some kind of bid for the Whitehouse in 2012. The thought makes me giggle uncontrollable, which means I have to stop writing for a moment and regain my composure.
Okay, Iīm back. I think I can continue now. Hold it! I canīt. My fingers are sliding off the keyboard with all the spit coming out of my uncontrollable laughing mouth. All right, all right. Seriously, Iīm okay now. Just the thought of a Palin bid for a job now held by a Harvard graduate with more brains in the minute amount of DNA left on his cigarette tips than the soon-to-be ex governorīs entire head, blows my mind. It just blows my mind.
She will no doubt run on the far right base of the "family values" Republican ticket. Is that the same family values ticket Governor Sanford preached about? You know the one: "Democrats are socialists, fascists, green creatures from outer space, fornicating monsters, and drug addicts seeking to take over the world by using squirt guns."
Gee, itīs too bad President Obama is going to be in Russia and some other countries trying to sew up the ripped reputation left by his war-mongering predecessor. Of course, the new face of the Republican Party, Shotgun Cheney, will see this as opening up the doors to new terrorist threats.
Someone please answer my plea. Could someone please explain where the real Republican Party is hiding? I kind of miss seeing a real politicianīs face on the front page of their handouts. I donīt mean Michelle Bachman, the partyīs UFO from up north. Please help.
