Sarah Palin: Will there be a Comeback Tour?
I was just thinking about the Sarah Palin situation. Here’s my take on it:
Every so often a popular music group will announce to the press, “This is our final tour. The band is breaking up.” Ticket sales go through the roof. CDs sell out in minutes and everyone buys the “Final Tour” t-shirts for $30 at the concert.
A year later, they return. Rejuvenated. Living in even bigger houses since their ‘final tour’ concerts plumped up their wallets. They’ve decided to get back together for a “Comeback Tour”. They couldn’t stay away from the adoring public.
Bullcrap.
It’s all a media ploy and one that people seem to fall for every time. How does this relate to Sarah Palin? For one, resigning before her term is up is a finely crafted scheme to get the hell out before the water gets hotter.
She’s not too worried about looking like an idiot because there are so many people who already think she is one. She plays the “family time” card with such conviction…and the hot new poses in Runner’s World? Perfect timing. Such a down-home woman and wholesome mother…running, ogling over her baby in the stroller and showing off a hot pair of legs. (OK, I’m jealous.)
Now, I’m not saying that she’ll be back running for political office but she will be back….and she’s using this well-timed exit to her financial advantage. With her multi-million dollar book deal (can’t WAIT to read that senseless drivel) in the wings, she’s just upped her readership potential by stirring up a little water cooler chit-chat.
Is she going to run for the Presidency in 2012? Is she going to be charged with breaking ethics laws? Is she going to write a Moose-meat cookbook? Will she ever realize that the beehive hairstyle went out many decades ago?
I have no flipping idea. Actually, I am not going to lose sleep over it. It was just another day of seeing another nutty top trending topic on Twitter that prompted the blog post. Seems to me a top trending topic should be more along the lines of “#unemployment” or “#thiseconomyblows”.
So, Sarah Palin is up to something…not sure what. Hey, she’s playing the dumb thing to her advantage. She might not be the most eloquent of speakers or the brightest bulb around, but she’s doing something right if she has an eleven million dollar book deal in the works.
Now, back to my peaceful weekend which is already in progress.
(oh…and I did a little write up about Palin, my tiny State of Rhode Island and social media if you care to read more of my ramblings: ”From Alaska’s Palin to Rhode Island’s Treasury Department: Online Overload”
I am happy to get much useful infos in the posts, writing sequence is brilliant, I always look for quality content, thanks 4 sharing.
i was obese a few years ago but now i have reduced my weight by diet and exercise.
I admire Sarah Palin because she had also done a lot in the area of Politics specially in Alaska where she was a governor.
Was on vacation over the 4th and just saw the replays of the announcement today. There must have been a reason she was wearing wading boots when giving the announcement – must have been getting deep as she was speaking.

On the 4th of July, I couldn’t resist tossing the Palin firecracker out on the table of conversation with a mixed group of folks…all of them older than I am, and from a conservative background. I am about as liberal as they come, so it was just fun to throw the poppers out to see how which would blow up and which would fizzle out.
One gentleman in particular is quite entrenched in what some still refer to as “a man’s world.” One of his female inlaws whispered he wouldn’t support a woman in office, with a wink and a smile.
LO and BEHOLD this same guy would urge this woman back into a national office. The reason: (hold onto your knickers girlfriends) because she is “so attractive.” Nearly tipped the table over when my jaw hit it! WHAT?
Palin cannot put together a grammatical sentence to save her sweet touche (okay ass). Her logic and reasoning go beyond politics as usual, into blithering stupidity that reminds me of dictators we are trying to bring down in other parts of the world.
If you read the article in this post about her running career….think about this: Ever been to Alaska? You don’t go running in -24 degree weather. Perhaps she is truthful and ran indoors…but that didn’t come to light. The photo was telling as well. Who the hell puts a baby stroller on a bed of rocks as big as golf balls and expects it to work? Oh, okay, nice photo op. The woman continually throws out mixed messages that boogle the mind.
My last point is this: DO NOT BUY THAT BOOK! Guarantee if this woman gets back onto the national political stage and wins, women are going to be back in the stone age…avatars Wilma Flinstone and Betty Rubble here we come!

Tom…bullcrap, douchbag….all excellent words. After all, a bull has to take a crap at some point! Not strong language at all–I’ve used it in my Twitter bio since my Twitter addiction began.
As far as Palin……she’s just a contradiction….
Bullcrap? Thats pretty strong language Blondie! I have problems with anyone who says one thing and does something else…her ethics issues, the Bridge to Nowhere debacle…well…at least now that she is retired she can go home and enjoy her view of Russia from her house.
I agree….and that same daughter is working for “Candies” shoes as a spokesperson for teen pregnancies.
It’s a very confusing family.
Sorry, I have serious problems with a woman who runs on a family values platform, but forces her teenage daughter to carry a child.
