Sarah Palin’s MAGICAL Vice-Presidency!

It’s a hallmark of magical thinking: repeat a wish enough times, and it might become true. Think Dorothy muttering herself home in The Wizard of Oz, or Futurama fans bringing their show back from the dead.

Alaska Governor and power-breeder Sarah Palin is all about the magical thinking. As TPM reports, she keeps appearing before crowds, reciting a mystical incantation that she hopes will eradicate her support for the Bridge to Nowhere from the historical record. Palin, as you’ve well heard by now, actually supported the Ketchikan Bridge project pushed by Alaska’s Senator Pork himself, Ted Stevens. When the outcry over the project grew too great, Palin still took the earmarked money, devoting it to other purposes. Rather than fess up to this, Palin is actively intoning a spell at all of her appearances that will bring the past in line with her present wishes.

Bridge to Nowhere…Bridge to Nowhere…I RENOUNCE you, Bridge to Nowhere!

This is bold, innovative thinking by Gov. Palin. When she finds something in reality she doesn’t like, she doesn’t accept it, like some stoic philosopher patiently awaiting the twist of the knife; she whips out the poetry and the incense. It’s not that she’s “lying,” as liberal trash-rags such as the Huffington Post and the Wall Street Journal would have you believe. That’d just be dumb. And Sarah Palin’s not stupid…she’s MAGIC!

A vice president who practices witchcraft? Bring it on! Of course, her literalist church may be forced to stone her to death…but I don’t see where that’s any of my concern.

1. Hey, Futurama HAS been brought back from the dead,
at least sort of. There are new episodes irregularly on Comedy Central.

Your basic point, that Palin is a loon, remains valid of course.:P
