I've written some unkind things about Sarah Palin lately. However, I’ve taken time to re-think my position. Day after day, Palin’s name is persistently in the news. Will she run for president in 2012? Will she appoint herself senator? Will she leave politics for show business? Will she do this, will she do that? Why just yesterday, Matt Lauer and the Today Show invaded her kitchen just to watch her make a halibut and salmon casserole. Is she gearing up to replace Martha Stewart?
On a strictly personal note, I should have seen where all this was leading; but I guess it was inevitable. At last, the constant drip, drip of Palin's face and voice on my TV screen has become like some monstrous variation of Chinese water torture. As a result, my internal resistance to her gibberish has been shattered. And I am like a junkie with neither a prayer nor hope. I can no longer assume responsibility for myself or my actions. In short, I have become a Sarah Palin groupie.
How did this transformation come about? Let me try to explain: Remember that scene in The Music Man where Professor Harold Hill is deciding how and when to put the make on the unsuspecting Marian the Librarian? He commences with a song -- “The Sadder But Wiser Girl for Me” -- and vows that “no bright-eyed, blushing, breathless baby-doll baby” will ever put her hooks in him. He only has eyes for the smartest gal in River City, Iowa: Maid Marian. Well, as far as I’m concerned, Professor Hill can have her.
With apologies to “sadder but wiser girls” everywhere, allow me to state the following facts. Men are not interested in sad women. Men are not interested in wise women. Men want girls who are happy and dumb. The less complicated they are, the simpler to get along with. The less intelligent they are, the fewer arguments to put up with. Believe me, I know. I’ve had smart, and I’ve had dumb; and dumb is incomparably better.
I realize some of you are thinking that this is, to use the new cant, "objectification" of gender, that all this is yet again some sordid male-fantasy vision of women perpetrated by a disciple of Ian Fleming or Hugh Hefner. Well, Sarah Palin is no fantasy; she’s for real. Sarah Palin is the original Stepford Wife – nice, simple, pleasant, devoted, always impeccably dressed and groomed, a nice hostess, great in the kitchen -- AND always available. She’s the Playgirl of the Year who teasingly complains that she wants to be appreciated for her mind and not her body. Well, maybe she does have a little something up there. After all, who else could think up such clever names for her children -- names like “Piper” and “Trig” and “Bristol?” I don’t know about you, but it turns me several shades of chartreuse.
As far as politics goes, Sarah’s job isn’t to put on airs in a public forum and make herself look smart. Oh, no. You see, part of Sarah’s charm is her authenticity. And in that respect, she is authentically clueless. And for that reason alone, I have fallen for her -- and in a big way too. The way one loses their heart and mind to a rising rock star. She was – and is – the new American Idol; I am now 100% behind her. And the view is terrific!

Palin For President 2012 Website Crashes Due To Explosive Support Due to McCain Operatives Trashing Sarah Palin
The same GOP establishment Bush/McCain political operatives and “so called” strategists who failed in their campaign to elect John McCain president are failing again in their savage attempt to destroy the political career of Sarah Palin. The Sarah Palin For President in 2012 website received more traffic and support since the attacks began following the election than in the entire period leading up to the election. This campaign is similar to their attacks on Congressman Ron Paul and the results are the same.
Maybe the GOP establishment and their Neocon and Wall Street special interests should try the politics of inclusion instead of exclusion for a change and welcome real conservative supporters and candidates into the Republican Party. Although the GOP establishment has almost destroyed the Republican Party, real conservatives will come together and restore the GOP to the original Ronald Reagan vision of fiscal and social conservatism.
“At least the website crash will give us the opportunity to maybe catch up and reply to all the people wanting to join the Sarah Palin For President 2012 grassroots campaign,” says Ron Holland.
Keep up the good work, McCain operatives as your “keystone cops” approach to the McCain presidential campaign elected Obama president in the 2008 election and your attacks are just what we need to start the Sarah Palin For President in 2012 campaign for the GOP nomination for president.
Maybe these operatives should work for the Democrats in the next election so they will be defeated. Then again, considering their performance to date, maybe they were working for the Democrats during the 2008 election.

Dear Followers:
I think I just got spammed! But the comment above from "Anonymous" illustrates quite well one overriding characteristic about us newborn Palin "groupies" -- we are completely without a sense of humor when it comes to our lovely Sarah. You trash her just once, and you're lookin' for Trouble with a capital 'T'; so be warned!
