The way the Republicans are fawning over Sarah PalinĀ is exactly like the Emperor with No Clothes story. Everyone sits around admiring something that isn’t there saying “Oh yes, isn’t she wonderful? Oh yes, she’s so qualified. Oh yes, she is ready to be President.” And none of that is true. She is a joke, a Rovian fear mongering prop sent out to stir up the masses who believe everything they hear and don’t have the intellectual capacity and/or curiosity to actually investigate things and think for themselves.








Re Palin, the same thought dawned on me. I think the New Yorker should put a cartoon on its cover entitled the Emperor and Empress with no clothes. Imagine this naked sagging old man leering at this naked sexy babe. Just a fantasy . . .
