Palin Will have The Staying Power of a 7th Place American Idol Contestant

I always thought of Sarah as more of an actress playing a part as opposed to an actual person.

I fully expect to open PEOPLE magazine one of these days and read the following excerpt.

What does the future hold for the RNC superstar post-election? Sarah recently sat down with Ryan Seacrest and gave us a sneak peek:

RYAN: Are you going to miss playing this character?

SARAH: Absolutely! She was a lot of fun. The crazy outfits, the glasses and speaking in that faux-Minnesotan accent was a blast. The RNC writers did a great job of creating this off-the-wall character and I’m a little sad that it’s over, but I’m also a little relived. While the writers gave me a lot of crazy material to work with, a lot of it was improv. They would sometimes just tell me, “Muslims and taxes” and then send me out on the stage to riff for an hour on how Obama was a terrorist and gonna raise our taxes. It’s challenging to find new ways to say outrageous things night after night. It was fun, but I’m ready to move on with my career as an actress.

RYAN: What’s next for Sarah?

SARAH: I’m in rehearsals right now to play Roxy Hart in Chicago for the 2009 season and I’m so excited. I finally get a chance to sing, which is my first love. I’m also designing a line of designer handbags with Audrina whom most people know from The Hills and we’re excited about that.

Sarah Palin will be as enthusiatically supportive 4 years from now as Nikki Mckibben fans were 4 years after she came in 2nd.

Sarah Palin As American Idol Loser. Is She The Next Taylor Hicks?

I said that Sarah Palin will be as memorable as the 7th, 8th, and 8th place finishers on American Idol.

That is to say....so long as the show is on these guys are household names. The minute the show is over? Well, does anyone have a Nikki McKibben album? Anyone really attened a Ruben Studdard concert lately?

Of course someone did point out that Jennifer Hudson came in 7th and is now an Oscar winner.

I'm torn on that.

Is Jennifer Hudson really the next great vocalist that will dominate the charts for the next 25 years? The next great actress that will be remembered in the same breath as Paul Newman and Marlon Brando?

Or is she just proof that under the right circumstances even the mediocre-talents can manage to make it to the top?

And could Sarah palin be one of those people who (despite no real superstar talent) makes it all the way to the White House?

Hmmmm.

Palin Is Headed For Historys Dustbin

Hold on to those Palin buttons and bumper stickers. They are going to become valuable memorabilia after tomorrow.

No one (and I mean no one) is going to remember who this baitch was 4 years from tomorrow.

Can anyone name who came in 5th on the 2nd season of Survivor?

Anyone remember who was the the 9th finalist on the 1st season of American Idol?

Yet at the time these people were massive super stars with tens of millions od hardcore fans!

Palin is a manufactured political reality star....whose show is about to be cancelled tomorrow.

Maybe we'll see her on the next season of Big Brother?

What Else Was Hasselbeck Gonna Say??? It Was Phony!

C'mon.

Just 24hrs earlier she was callng Obama a terrorist!

And then Obama wins overwhelmingly and suddenly our little Ms. Hasselbeck is up shit creek with no paddles.

So of course she SAYS she is going to support Obama.

But it's total bullshit.

6 months from now she'll be back to her old tricks.

There was no way in hell she was going to still say what she feels in her heart after the entire planet is having an Obama lovefest.

And when Sherri cried? What was Elizabeth gonna do? Was she going to hold her hand and whisper, "Yes, but Obama listened to Rev. Wright and Rev. Wright is the most evil man on the planet so that makes Obama evil too!"

Nope.

She isn't THAT stupid to say what she really thinks. And we all know she didn't "see the light" within just 24hrs. But she did see which way the winds were blowing and if she wanted to keep her career she knew she better not spout off about how Obama is a terrorist and a Muslim or a Keynan or whatever bullshit she still believes.

Biatch is a phony who is just trying to salvage her career now that she is on the losing side of history.

Had McCain won do ya think she'd be saying, "No one lost today?"

Such a phony!

This Election Was A Referendum On Republican Policy

Notice how the Repubs minimize.

McCain lost because America 100 percent rejected REPUBLICAN POLICIES and yet Hasselbeck and McCain and all the others keep talking about how this was an important election....for blacks.

No, it was an important election because aftre 8 years we finally woke up to ralize that the policies and ideas of Hasselbeck, McCain and Bush don't work and created massive economic and military problems for America!

Hasselbeck refuses to acknowledge that part of it.

She keeps going on and on about how this is really just historic in terms of race relations.

That's a distant second to the more important aspect.

100,000 people weren't cheering in Grant Park because this was a racial victory (though that was a part of it)

100,000 people were cheering because we finally killed Republican Bullshit.

Bullshit Hasselbeck still believes in mind, body and soul.

The Punishment of John McCain Continues!

I guess this means everyone in America wants to surrender to Iran and embrace socialism?

Or, I suppose, it means we rejected Johnny Mac's hysterical fear mongering and decided to go with someone a little more reliable and intelligent for President.

Good bye John!
