Sarita - The Musical

It seems that Gov. Sarah Palin’s little foray into the exciting world of acting on a New York stage - albeit a television stage - has gone to her head. Quick study that she thinks she is, she’s Method - morphing into a latter-day Eva Peron in order to next attempt a revival of Evita, but she’s made some notes on Tim Rice’s lyrics for the Alaskan version.

Visualizing herself with the face of Tina Fey and the voice of Patti LuPone, she set to work putting her stamp on the role of that earlier Vice Presidential candidate (and not a moment too soon, as you will see, because, the parallels to Sra. Peron’s second act musical makeover are hitting the newswires as we sing): (her notes in Bold)

Politico reports that the Republican National Committee has disclosed having spent over $150,000. on wardrobe and makeup for Sarah Palin and her family, in just two months.

Interviewed on CBN Television (where else?) Sarah Palin announced her support for an amendment to the US Constitution to deny gay couples the right to marry.

Well, not Europe, not yet, at least, and while it may not be the George V in Paris or the Ritz in Madrid, Gov. Palin did manage to swing a week with her famously fertile fille Bristol at the Essex House on Central Park South – on Alaska’s dime.

Eva Peron, of course, withdrew from the Argentinean Vice Presidential race before the election.
