The Trainee

OK she's a little large in this picture, but hasn't she loomed over us all for the past few weeks?

The two best articles on Sarah Palin are the Jane Mayer New Yorker piece on her selection as VP and Noam Schriber's article in the New Republic on her Nixonian resentment of elites. As with Nixon, there is a little scandal with gifts, perhaps she will make a speech about a "republican cloth coat". Maybe the First Dude will name one of his sled dogs "Checkers".

As Palin combines Nixon's resentment and deceit with the folksiness and arrogance cum ignorance of the WOPHUS, she embodies the worst aspects of the post WW II Republican party.

Thanks to Lana A. for co-creating "The Trainee".
