Palin Envy

Third rate smears can’t mask the left’s bitter frustration over Sarah Palin’s popularity

Print Journalism seems headed for extinction. And far left syndicated columnists, once read across the nation, are having to face the fact that their readership has dwindled down to the vulgar kooks who comprise the Daily KOS crowd. Forced retirement looms ahead. Or worse yet, their own lonely shows on MSNBC, a little known cable outlet for the Obama Ministry Of Propaganda.

So must suffer poor Maureen Dowd of the soon to be lamented NY Times. And what really seems to be eating away at the poor woman’s heart, is what is sending all the lonely, unwatched, unread, unheard members of the distant left media right up the wall, foaming at the mouth. Sarah Palin’s mounting popularity across America.

Not that each and every member of the far left media hasn’t done their best to destroy Sarah Palin’s credibility, reputation, and her family to boot. Right down to toddler Trig. It’s been virtually non-stop slander and derision since sister Palin scared the ever livin’ daylights out of them during her speech at last year’s republican convention.

But, for the most part, it just hasn’t worked. If not encumbered with “maverick” John McCain, and his self-immolating campaign strategy (see Time for Mr Maverick To Hit The Trail) Sarah Palin would have retained the White House for the republican party. Nice thought right about now.

And with the electorate’s increasing exasperation over the “messiah” tearing the wheels off the country, one by one, the left is already beginning to experience the unpleasant feeling of once again being relinquished to the oblivious shadows of the Reagan years and 1994 - 2006. They know that Sarah Palin is just the person who can do it.

Hence Maureen Dowd’s embittered teenage sarcasm as she flailed away in her column at Sarah Palin’s decision to resign the governorship of Alaska:

“Caribou Barbie is one nutty puppy. Usually we don’t find that exquisite battiness in our leaders until they’ve been battered by sordid scandals like Watergate (Nixon)… or scary threats like biological terrorism (Cheney). Maybe there’s another red Naughty Monkey high heel to drop — there’s often a hidden twist in Sarah’s country-music melodramas. Or is this a reckless high-speed escape from small-pond Alaska..”

Smooth. Dowd’s next column will likely be titled Sarah, Sarah, Two by Four

Maureen Dowd knows only too well that freed from the endless ethics probes, all of which have been determined to be without merit, Sarah Palin will set about building a powerful base for the future. Palin’s book is sure to be a bestseller for months and her rally-like speaking engagements will continue to draw wildly enthusiastic crowds.

The distant left hates Sarah Palin because they hate what she stands for. The sanctity of life over the fallacious “right” to send unborn children to the dumpsters of the abortionists. The preservation of the traditional family over the mockery of marriage by homosexuals. The integrity of American citizenship, not to be bestowed upon those who have violated our country’s borders. The innate concept of simple right and wrong that liberals have worked so hard to cloud in “non-judgmental” moral relativity.

The majority of Americans identify with, and like Sarah Palin. And that has people like Maureen Dowd, Chris Matthews, David Letterman (you know, the late night CBS guy) and Rachel Maddow brimming with Palin Envy.

Sarah Palin is clearly going in one direction, while The New York Times and Maureen Dowd are heading in the complete opposite. And all the sticks and stones in the world aren’t going to change that.

To become part of the solution to the massive problems besetting America under the Obama administration, join Team Sarah. “Team Sarah is a diverse coalition of Americans dedicated to advancing the values that Sarah Palin represents in the political process.”

There are still many true Christian conservatives in the GOP. Sarah Palin is one of our best.
