  So someday soon she'll dump McCain, right?

  THIS is the deeper vetting that McCain's folks might have considered! Even ultra-Christian Rove-trained sneaks should have ONE psychologist around to observe this doll's con: From city council to state administration, if her relationship with powerful older men has been to schmooze'em, use'em, and lose'em, shouldn't McCain staffers who genuinely care about their boss, & want to personally spare him bruised feelings, be worried? She may bring a dagger, as well as a moose-gun, to the party, and should not be expected to guard his six.

  Even so, he might not care. McC 's eyes are on the prize only six weeks away, and there's no question that Lady McPalin is smart enough to not slit the throats of his guards, slip arsenic in his beer (or slip dinosaurs into the White House Christmas Creche) until after Inauguration Day. Hell, she'd probably stay Obedient Barbie for 6 months or so, until secure in her own separate power base. We'd just watch her charmingly siphon Energy Deparment jobs & funds to her family; use the Patriot Act to punish kids who were mean to her in 2nd grade, or those yucky Jew-boy reporters who might not show her enough deference, and so on.

  But boredom is a dangerous state for a sleep-deprived, baby-toting, red-bull-addicted Moose-Maiden. When Sarah gets left behind in the Official Residence Bubble too often, thats when McCain should double up on double-secret Secret Service. The King's loyal thanes must remind him not to seek hospitality from the Lord and Lady MacPalin, lest they heed the foul witches of their sadder nature, start lobbying for his removal on health grounds, and then taxidermying the Great Seal as their prize rack-of-antlers-souvenir from her Presidency.

  The daugther-overthrowing-father archetype would be a tragi-comedy, and may yet be a great modern opera. (Never mind Tina Fey: think Sarah Brightman-meets-Thelma & Louise)

  To bad that We, the American people, would be left with the Reality show.
