Palin's next stop...The View?
So what's next for the former vice-presidential hopeful, and 2/3 term Governor from Alaska? Some would hope nothing, while the rest believe she was and is capable of being President of the United States. What do I hope? She becomes the next talking head on The View. Why you ask? She is way too entertaining to simply fade away into the Alaskan abyss of moose-hunting and fly-fishing, and yet not qualified to serve any office higher than the one she just quit. The View would give her an entertaining opportunity to hone her debate skills, and to learn how to articulate her beliefs in a way that no longer makes Katie Couric blink her eyes with confusion. The View, with possibly a season or two under her belt, would give her the chops to take on any politician or world leader that's visible from her house. Because, let's face it, The View IS survival of the fittest on estrogen. Each day, these ladies go on TV and tear each other apart in such a way that would make even a masticating lion feel squeamish. And few would argue that anyone gets more abuse from this gaggle of gals than a conservative...that is unless it's a conservative woman. Bottom line is, it's sink or swim on this show, and if Sarah can at least doggy-paddle until she learns a proper breast-stroke, I think she will come out of the experience much stronger, more confident, and ready to take the next step in her political career. It won't put in her in the White House, but it will start her in the right direction, which is something she desperately needs right now. She also might also earn some respect from some of the centrist moms and other fair-minded women out there who watch this entertaining spectacle. So come on, Sarah. The opportunity here is too good for you, for them, and for us to let you pass it by. Take over for Elizabeth while she's out on what honestly seems like her fourth maternity leave since first joining The View, and win us over once again...one "you're darn tootin'" and "bless your heart" at a time.
