After essentially losing the election for John McCain, Sarah Palin is going to run for Prez in 2012, once again revitalizing Tina Fey's career should it suffer a slump in the next 4 years.

In the first step to her Presidential campaign….

She's also launching her national political action committee. Registered in Virginia, patterned after Hillary's HillPac, Sarahpac.com is to support ideas and candidates who share the Palin vision that energy independence is this country's future.

 

Next month she addresses a Washington gathering of prominent conservatives. She's going ahead with a book. Her Facebook page has 410,000 friends. She wants to influence policy knowing the nation must turn to Alaska as its energy resource. She's planning to be president.

I was hoping her career was over, but that seems like that was a pipe dream.

That being said, I think she'll be slaughtered in the campaign. I can't see Caligulas like Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, and basically every other Republican who thought about running for president in the last 4 years is going to be as nice to her as they were when she was the VP candidate. They'll eat her for breakfast before she even gets to face Obama. 

The Republican Party will throw her into the ring as the proverbial "sacrificial lamb." I think they've already come to terms that the next 8 years will be Democratic rule, so they need someone to embarrass in 2012.  Might as well be her. 

Sarah Palin wants to be President. And I want all the rivers, streams and ponds in the world to be made of chocolate pudding. That's even more absurd than Stephon Marbury being a Celtic.

Actually Dave, I think Tina Fey is pretty pissed. She REALLY hates Sarah Palin, and was so sick of playing her for laughs that she seriously considered giving it all up if McCain won. Of course, by the time Palin was nominated, the chances of McCain winning were slim to nil, so take that seriousness with a grain of salt.
