Loser Tour

When, oh, when is Sarah Palin going to end her Loser Tour? Seriously, if I wanted to keep seeing this woman, I would have voted for her. Can she find any more people to blame for the fact that she wasn't taken seriously as a Vice Presidential candidate and the for the fact that the McCain/Palin ticket lost the election? She is blaming the McCain campaign staff, she is blaming the media (actually stating yesterday that if she were a Democrat, if she were Obama's running mate, she would have been treated better. Yeah, because no one in the media has ever accused Joe Biden of being a loose cannon...no, he's always treated really well), blaming Katie Couric, blaming Tina Fey...blaming everyone but herself. Not that she needs to "blame" herself, per se, but maybe acknowledging the fact that she was in no way ready to be a Vice Presidential candidate, that there are too many issues on which she knows...ummm...nothing, would be a good idea. Right now, Sarah Palin is coming off like that ball player who screams at the umpire because he doesn't like the call at the plate, and no one votes for that guy again. And, really, as a Democrat, I would love to see her in a position to be nominated to run again...a poll a couple of months ago apparently showed that something like over 60% of Republicans want her to run in 2012...yeah, and 100% of Democrats want her to run in 2012. I don't doubt that there were missteps taken by the McCain camp, regarding how she was "handled", but blaming Tina Fey? Really? I love "Saturday Night Live", but really, what kind of political influence does she think a late-night sketch comedy show has on the minds of voters? And, if there are those people who really do get their political news from "SNL" then maybe we don't need those people participating in the political process, anyway. At some point, Governor Palin, there is something to be said for being a gracious loser, and not being dragged off the campaign trail, kicking and screaming. You lost, and there are many, many, many, MANY reasons...some of which, believe it or not, you lipstick-wearing hockey mom pitbull, don't have anything to do with you. Or John McCain. So, it's time to end your Loser Tour, go back to Alaska and come back in 2012...so you can lose to better Democrats again.
