BREAKING: Sarah Palin Does Not Have A Future, Says Last Guy In America To Realize That
Bill Kristol -- Mensa poster child, inventor of Dan Quayle AND Sarah Palin, and hater of kids these days with their rock 'n roll music and their tolerance for gay homosexual matrimony -- has some news that will shock you to your core. If you have been living in a coma under a rock in a hole in the ground on Mars.
“I was asked, ‘Does Sarah Palin have a future?’ and I just tried to give an analytical answer, which is I don’t think she does having resigned as governor,” he said.
He continued, “This is useful to think outside the box, not just accept the conventional wisdom…If she wants to have a serious future in American politics, as opposed to giving speeches occasionally, causing a ruckus with Facebook posts, she should run for office. Running and winning takes away a lot of the baggage of the past.”
Well, shut the front door! No one could have predicted that quitting her job as governor because something incoherent about dead fish and also paperwork also would make it harder for her to convince people to give her another job. You know, besides Bill Kristol's fellow Mensa members at Fox "News," who paid her $15.85 per word before saying thanks but no thanks to renewing her contract but then hiring her back anyway because Fox is not as good at quitting stuff as Sarah Palin is.
Of course, Billy boy had to wingnutsplain why Palin does not have a future because just the other day he'd said that she could "resurrect herself" by fulfilling the teabaggers' demands that she magically become their senator despite all the polls proving that will happen approximately five minutes after NEVER.
“I think the way Palin would possibly resurrect herself — if that’s the right word or rehabilitate herself, I think is a better way of putting it — with a run for Senate in Alaska in 2014. I’m not urging that. I’m just saying, if I were her adviser, I would say, ‘Take on the incumbent, you have to win a primary, then you have to beat an incumbent Democrat, it’s not easy.’”
Yes, if she were to actually run for office instead of just pretending she might run for office because her 15 minutes have faded and EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION TO ME STILL PLEASE ALSO (TOO)!!!!! isn't working like it used to, she could Jesus herself into a second act in political life. It won't be "easy" -- or, you know, even remotely possible -- but a wingnut can dream. Until he realizes, years after the rest of us have, that he can't.

She will get the point on the day she is placed on an ice floe and shoved out into the Bering Sea with a pair of binoculars and a compass. My fondest hope is that Bill Kristol will be on the next ice floe over.
ETA: But yay for obscene signing. Barbie may not find that useful, but I will.
Not so convinced. That strategy was thought up by men, for men who had not the least grasp of what inspires women voters. It's the same strategy that chose Dan Quayle because he was blond and good-looking (supposedly), and women would therefore vote for him.
Men like <strike>Kristol</strike> the GOP routinely forget that it is men who sometimes vote for laydiez who turn them on sexually; women vote for gender only if it also means voting for a politics they like. This seems to hold true with female voters across the political spectrum.
McCain might have stood a chance of snagging swing female voters (always assuming there were any, which I doubt) if he had chosen a woman of impeccable political credentials--someone women could be proud of as a standard bearer. Condi Rice might have fit the bill, or Olympia Snowe. That about exhausts the bullpen of GOP women with a strong governing record, which tells its own tale.
Me, I can&#039;t wait to see who the GOP will come up with next as their Ideal Woman Candidate. It&#039;s like staring at a 10-car pileup on the freeway. I can&#039;t look away.
