Sarah Palin Is More than She Appears

 Conventional wisdom regarding Sarah Palin among the liberal cognoscenti is that she's a dope,  but I think there's a definite method to it all.

    Granted, ever since Sen. John McCain plucked her from Alaskan obscurity to be his running mate in the 2008 election, she's been the national poster child for a carnival of blunders, missteps, misinformation, and downright ignorance.  However, if Andy Kaufman were alive today, and there're those who are convinced he is, he'd be in awe of Sarah Palin. This woman is a conceptual artist par excellence.  

     She seems not to have a clue about what's actually in the U.S. Constitution, or what Paul Revere's role in the Revolutionary War were, or able to finish out her term as governor or to see Russia from her house, but all the while disdaining the mainstream media that dutifully reports all this ad infinitim, she has become a worldwide celebrity. Indeed, much of the western world has come to know Sarah Palin as the embodiment of all that is wrong with America; no mean feat for someone who was virtually unknown except in Alaska three short years ago.  

     And in doing so, she has ama$$ed quite a tidy fortune.

      She's might be everybody's fool now, but to paraphrase Liberace, she's being victimized by the "lamestream media" all the way to the bank.

        By all accounts, except maybe for using her public office to settle a family score, she was quite an effective mayor and governor. She made the oil companies pay their fair share and she cleaned up corruption. When she was mayor of Wasilla and Alaska's governor, she was anything but a fool, but she was also poor.    

     Now she's everybody's fool, becoming more unpopular each day, but she's rich as Croeses.

     You do the math.

      I think she's pretty damn clever.
