A Special Christmas Gift: Palin in 2020
Sarah Palin wins HUMAN EVENTS’ prestigious “Conservative of the Year” Award for 2008 for her genius at annoying all the right people. The last woman to get liberals this hot under the collar would have been … let's see now … oh, yeah: Me!
Exalting "our beauteous Sarah", our beauteous Ann spends 2000+ words saying nothing about Palin on the economy, international affairs, social issues, or even the latest Jolie-Aniston confrontation. Instead, Palin's qualifications come via the iniquities of the "left-wing" press: "discombobulated and angry", filled with "anti-religious hysteria", and "decid[ing] that a woman with children could not handle the stress of higher office".
OK, it's Ann Coulter, who could only exist as a "Legal Affairs Correspondent" or any other kind of Correspondent in the mythical polarised US of common-sense Americans fending off the evil liberals ruining the country. Still, it's quite amusing to see how Ann blurts one moment, "Who cares if Palin was qualified to be President?", and then in the next explains how Beauteous Sarah will assume that office.
She will do so by "becoming older and wiser", "being a good governor, tending to her children so none of them turn out like Ron Reagan Jr., and reading everything Phyllis Schlafly, Thomas Sowell, [and] Ronald Reagan have ever written:
Democrats may have a fleet of women politicians, but they don’t have a deep bench of attractive ones.
Thanks, Ann, for the Greatest Gift of All. Reading this supposed formula for Republican success, I'll sleep a little sounder tonight thinking that the GOP implosion 0f 2008 --- with all its humourous fallout --- may be with us for just a while longer.
Maybe even until 2020.
