It may seem impossible, but could it be another impossible-comes-true thing? Think about it. Since the best actor – not necessarily the most-qualified – always wins, why not Sarah?
John Kennedy was sure a celebrity. The flashy smile, not presidential credentials, took him to the presidency. Barack Obama definitely became a flashy-smile celebrity before he became president. Described himself as such. Ronald Reagan made his living as an actor, alias celeb, before he turned politico. And Sarah’s dead on track.
To wit: “In two days of Hollywood-living we’ve seen a whole different Sarah Palin. First it was the stand-up comic on ‘The Tonight Show’ Tuesday night. Wednesday brought out Sarah Palin the swag-lover.
“Organizers of the Silver Spoon Gifting Suite tell PopEater they were surprised to see a presidential-style convoy of black sedans pull up to the Interior Illusions store before the swag lounge had officially opened. Among the crowds of departing suits was Sarah Palin herself.”*
With that kind of a record, why not Sarah for president? But, you might say. No way. Not qualified. What’s that got to do with it? America is so celebrity-conscious that aura crowds out everything.
The biggest negative Obama had to fight was the not-qualified, inexperienced charge from “thinking” people. And outside the Catholic thing, ditto Kennedy. But elections just march on despite the facts.
We all wish it weren’t that way. Even those whose votes ride purely on a celebrity wave won’t admit it. But unfortunately it almost always happens: most people don’t sort out the facts, just the celebrity.
So Sarah? Why not? How could it get worse?
