Palin Horns In On House Lawmakers’ Lampoon
In Washington, they are reenacting a famous magazine cover, the National Lampoon of January 1973 with a gun pointed at a dog’s head and the caption, “If You Don’t Buy This Magazine, We’ll Kill This Dog.”
The dog is the American economy, and Sarah Palin is urging her Tea Party friends to pull the trigger, with a Facebook post to “remember us ‘little people’ who believed in them, donated to their campaigns, spent hours tirelessly volunteering for them, and trusted them with our votes. This new wave of public servants may recall that they were sent to D.C. for such a time as this.”
With Palin on the scene, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, David Letterman et al should be donating their salaries to lower the deficit. These days Tea Party parody practically writes itself.
Take freshman Rep. Joe Walsh of Illinois jumping on John McCain for criticizing his House brethren: “Folks like him…have no clue as to the troubles Americans are going through right now. They don’t understand this crisis anymore.”
He may have a point. McCain, who has been in Congress 28 years, has a wife who owns eight houses while Walsh, with six months in Washington, was elected to the House after his home was foreclosed, and the Chicago Sun-Times reports that he owes over $100,000 in child support to his ex-wife.

So Walsh joined the very party that caused him to loose his house! What a dummy.
The Mortgage crisis occurred because of the Republican Conservative philosophy of give business whatever it wants, and, they had all the power to do so after 2002. Which they did.
I simply cannot believe Walsh. Palin is dead in the water. Her best shot at anything is to become a media fill in for Ann Coulter.
So Sarah Palin sees herself as a voice for “the little people”. Now that is funny. (little minds maybe)
After 2012, don’t be surprised if you hear next to nothing about, and nothing from, Palin in the media.
Rick Perry (or, lesser choice, Michele Bachmann — depends on what Perry does and how Bachmann does) has the social conservatives (and religious conservates) locked and is the logical VP choice by the GOP, while Palin as VP again? Certainly not.
