Going Rogue? Or Going Crazy...
This Going Rogue business is mostly all about making money... right?If that's the case, then great; I applaud thee, Sarah Palin. Sell your book! Make money! It's the US American way!
Unfortunately, reason tells me that ex-Governor Palin has a hard time separating fantasy from reality -- that she is absolutely serious when she says she wants to play a major role in American politics -- that she isn't going away anytime soon.
While she remains silent on any possible presidential plans, one must assume that is the ultimate goal.
And that is insane.
So too is her sheepish quip that she will run only "if people will have me."
Hmm. Perhaps Madame Palin should start by asking the people of Alaska if they will have her after she abandoned them and her gubernatorial post midterm. Or perhaps she should ask the people of Russia if they don't mind her looking at them from her living room. Or perhaps she should just take the money this book and subsequent tour will generate and run, run, run... back into relative obscurity -- where she belongs.
We see this sort of thing in baseball all the time. Players come from out of nowhere. They shine. They burn out. They go away. Some quicker than others.
Mark Fidrych. Pete Incaviglia. Eric Gagne.
Remember, Sarah, remember. Remember Eric Gagne -- a man who spent last season with the Quebec Capitales of the independent Canadian-American League. (Yeah, I've never heard of it either) Here's a man who, at one time, was more than just unhittable. He was mad, maniacal, morbid in his destruction of opposing hitters. He recorded 84 consecutive saves for Christ's sake! He was lights out! He was the master of the universe!Now, the Brewers don't even want him.
And that is sad.
Go away now, while you can, Mrs. Palin... go back to the wilderness while you still have some inkling of pride. I will support you in that endeavor.
YOU BETCHA!
Hate me 'cuz I won't buy this book, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
Peace,
Jeff
I'd rather see Tina Fey as Sarah Palin in any political office. This woman really makes me want to vomit. *gags*

Glad to see some love for Fidrych. And for the record, I HAVE heard of the Quebec Capitales for the Can-Am League. Yes, I know it's sad, but the Minors and Indy ball are my specialty.

Mike -- As long as you realize you are in the minority, more power to ya, brother! Fidrych was always a fav of mine. His start burned out too soon.

With all here (let's be gentle) STUFF going on, she'd be entertaining if there wasn't the possibility----albeit very small----that she could come close to being president of the country. Who could listen to this woman and still vote for her?

Did Sarah Palin do steroids like Gagne? Hmm. Maybe that explains the large head.

Prince -- That's why we're trying to get the message out now. Did you see that interview with Barbara Walters? Amazing how poor Ms. Palin is at verbalizing ideas... if you can call her thoughts ideas.
Jane -- Excellent question. Perhaps an RSBS task force should investigate.

Women want her to disappear into the Alaskan wilderness, men want to bag her like a bull moose at a range of 300 yeards.
But I have to admit, she is still on my top 10 MILF list just for her fights with Levi.
And for some reason, she made women with glasses sexy to me again...........but that is only a rumor.

RR -- I'm with ya on the glasses tip. For some reason I just melt in the presence of pretty women in glasses. TMI? My bad. But you asked for it.... sorta.

We should love you because you won't buy the book. And so should Palin--she doesn't need another true-and-scathing review. And Gagne was a Sith, wasn't he?

I sure see that Liberal light shinning here. What's wrong with Sarah. She can't be any worse than the other people in DC. Remember what I told you 1 year ago. I think this book just might end up in your Christmas stocking Jeffy.

XCICIX -- Gagne made the Sith look bad so they designated him for assignment.
Baba -- No thanks. But I wouldn't mind seeing this in my stocking: http://shop.mlb.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3746399&cp=2366583.706121
