She's everywhere these days, hogging one camera crew after another.  The infamous Governor is hot on the campaign trail, despite any vague official denials, and this is great news for Democrats everywhere.  If Palin succeeds in wresting the 2012 GOP presidential nomination from Newt "Kill the Pagans" Gingrich (not a bad second choice, mind you), then Obama is virtually guaranteed a second term.

Want proof?  According to Think Progress, The Palin told The Hannity during a recent Fox "News" interview that she'd be happier if Alaska generated less money.  The hyper-fertile Governor was whining about President Obama's Recovery and Reinvestment Plan and griped that Alaska had "it's own wealth" to spread around and didn't need his assistance. 

Then she said this: "You know people say, hey, Alaska! Eighty-five percent of your state budget is based on the price of a barrel of oil. Aren't you glad the price is going up? I say, no! The fewer dollars that the state of Alaska government has, the fewer dollars we spend. And that's good for our families and for the private sector." (Good god, Republicans are weird!)

You hear that, Alaskan voters?  The less revenue for your state, the better!  Now there's a campaign slogan I'd love to see printed on bumper-stickers!  Vote for Palin and you'll have less money! Wheeeeeeee . . .!!! (Palin didn't mention how much of the state budget was supplemented by illegal crystal meth labs, many of which were probably run by her grandbaby's other grandma -- um, before she got busted.)

Off topic, but I'd like to ask all the mysoginistic Neocon pundits who now attack Sonia Sotomayor for her "weak feminine bones" and troublesome "monthly cycles," where were their concerns when Palin was running for VP with Lumpy -- a woman who would've been a few metastasizing cancer cells away from assuming the presidency?   After all, wasn't she a fertile female who popped out a fresh Palin every year or two?  But I digress . .  .

Speaking of McCain, he continues to distance himself from his former running mate, this time floating her off on the proverbial iceberg on the issue of ANWR drilling.  Gotta love the irony. McCain was the only Republican to vote against the proposed amendment to open up ANWR for directional drilling.   He also has been cagey on the subject of her potential presidential candidacy, refusing to commit to an endorsement should she become the nominee.  Gosh, I wonder why?

I'm pulling for her.  She was more fun than a funnel of slaughtered turkeys and I miss her interview skills, the magazines she reads but cannot name . . . binocular-based Putin-patrols . . . Russia from her front porch. I may join her campaign!

Not.
