I absolutely hate the fact that at least once a day I have to be informed of what Sarah Palin thinks about something. Sarah Palin is without a doubt the least qualified person to ever be picked for the Vice-Presidential nomination. John McCain turned his back on this country when he selected her. Obama and McCain's campaigns have came out and talked about how horrible a selection she was and that she clearly put the McCain campaign in a death spiral. And yet she lives in her own alternate reality and seems totally oblivious to her faults. Althouse sums her up perfectly after parsing a couple pages of her book:
If these 2 pages of "Going Rogue" are any evidence, she is displaying her weaknesses all over again, and she is still too dumb to be President. And, most scarily, she doesn't know how dumb she still is.
Not only does she apparently have no idea of how dumb she is, she is a pathological liar: Sully has a great summary of the straight up lies she has been caught telling.
And none of this seems to matter. Every day when I bounce through my favorite sites I see articles like 'Sarah Palins thoughts on the trial of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed'. I cannot possibly explain to you how fucking little I care about what Sarah Palin thinks about how Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is handled. But that doesn't matter. There is a whole segment of this wonderful country that is in love with Sarah Palin. These people are morons. If you think Sarah Palin is more qualified then Barack Obama to run this country you are dumb as a fucking rock. The problem is that in 2009 you don't need talent to be a superstar, you just need enough rocks following you and to be enough of spectacle for everyone else to be interested in the show. For years to come we are going to have to wake up in the morning and read what Sarah Palin thinks about financial derivative reform. So how do we pay her back for this travesty? We make her have to wake up every day and read about her own personal version of Sarah Palin:
Levi Johnston
International singing sensation and oscar nominated
actor Levi Johnston greeting some old guy.
Levi Johnston is to Sarah Palin what Sarah Palin is to the rest of us. Not really qualified for anything, lacking in any real talents, just thrust upon the national stage by some random fluke of fate. He must be an absolute reflection for her on how fame and fans can exist for no particular reason at all. I can imagine her coming across an article on CNN in the morning then stomping around her house bitching to Todd about how that can possibly qualify as news and who gives a shit what Levi Johnston thinks about something. It must burn. A sweet, sweet flame of frustration.
So here is my plan: Let's make this kid a fucking superstar. Look, it's just a matter of time before Hollywood elevates the next random douche boyfriend of one of the girls on some psuedo-reality MTV2 show to stardom, so let's make this kid the next no particular talent superstar. Click through to all articles that mention him, upvote stories related to him, make shit up about him. If anyone ever brings him up I'm going to mention all of the charity work he does, although I'm, you know, not quite sure of the specifics. Or that I heard he had a new track with Eminem on the way. We spent years being notified every time Paris Hilton bought a new dog and the next non-celebrity celebrity is probably being prepped right now as you are reading this. Make it this kid and know that every time he gets drunk and throws up in public, Sarah Palin is going to have to respond to questions about it. The way fame works in this country is absolutely ridiculous so instead of just being pawns to it let's turn that bitch around and use it. Let's use it to punish her.
