Sarah Palin: The Sacrificial Lamb?

I got a big bang out The Washington Post's Kathleen Parker's oh-so-touching article on the "sacrificing" of Sarah Palin. The reality? Nobody has screwed over Sarah Palin like Sarah Palin has screwed over Sarah Palin.

In the past, we've witnessed her rants and she's been good, saying all the right things and pushing all the right buttons in quick-hit sound bites. But if you ever wondered if she was playing a role, now you know, what with the mish-mosh of a "speech" she attempted to deliver recently upon unexpectedly losing the use of her teleprompter, proving something most of us have known all along – there is simply nothing between the woman's ears. She can deliver a line – and has always been willing to deliver the worst, most contemptuous, most FALSE of lines – to a crowd dumb enough to eat them up. All she needed was the ability to READ those lines and in doing so we've learned that she can (surprisingly) read. But when that teleprompter went haywire, we witnessed the real Sarah Palin – the shallow, idealess, empty-headed Sarah Palin.

On one front, Kathleen Parker was right in stating that Palin was and is out of her league. But contrary to Parker's belief, Palin would never have been – and never will be – ready for a national ticket. Ever. That's because Sarah Palin is dumb. Really dumb. And when someone in such a state hangs their own ass out there for public exhibit and ridicule, it's nobody's fault but their own.

In the end, Sarah Palin sacrificed herself.
