I am not a fan of Sarah Palin. I am fiscally conservative and socially progressive.

But in all fairness, I think the Republicans did her a great disservice. Talk about something that happened fast. She came straight out of right field. She was not ready. And never will be. I think the kingmakers thought that enough women would buy in because she is a woman and that enough men would buy in because of her looks and that feisty thing she's got going on. Also, they were pandering to the ultra-conservative voters whose first concern was their view of social issues rather than an economy on the brink. Sarah Palin created diversion from the real issues facing our country. I think the Republicans underestimated the American voter. And they sold out their moderates with the Sarah Palin nomination. And the fact that Sarah Palin did not turn down the offer spoke volumes to me about her decision making skills. I think the party did her a disservice, and McCain rolled over.

And I hope they do not run her in 2012. I just don't think she has what it takes to be the leader of the free world.

Sooooo, if I were Sarah Palin, I would get out that communications degree. And I would look in the mirror and I would think, "Hey! You know what. I am daggone cute. And I am really tired of all these questions about geography and my kids and all that. And so maybe it is time for me to ask the questions."

And then, if I were Sarah Palin, I would zero in on a big fat contract with Fox News and I would work it. Yep, I would work it. And I would blow Billy-O right outa the water. I would be the one with the hot primetime show where I could ask the questions. Instead of having to answer them.

And that's what I would do, if I were Sarah Palin. Before everybody forgets who I am.
