Though it seems like an eternity, only twenty-six days have passed since we first got blindsided by the birth of the Sarah Palin star. Make no mistake, folks, this woman really casts a surreal light on our political landscape.

New polls come out tomorrow, though, and most everyone predicts that Palin’s numbers will be down.  Could Sarah Palin already be in free fall?

True, the fall seems inevitable, but I still hope her decline is gradual. I mean, where else can you find beauty, a killer instinct and charismatic force all rolled up into one.  Not in Hillary Clinton.  Not in Michelle Obama.  A praying mantis, perhaps?

I wish someone would photo-shop Palin’s head onto a deadly mantis and Email me.  That way I won’t be tempted to feel sorry for the small town girl.

‘Cause the fact is, folks, I believe all of us need to amass our collective energy in order to derail this Sarah Palin character. In case you haven’t been watching, she’s on the road to the Oval Office.  Yea, that’s what I said—the Oval Office.

Moving on.  I saw the so-called Palin tour of the United Nations last week, and speaking from a human species standpoint, it was most embarrassing.

World leaders of the male variety were experiencing penis activation pangs in proximity to Palin.  You’d think these big heads of state were starved for vagina or something. Yea, that’s what I said, Vagina. I don’t think there’s any doubt that having one definitely weighed in on the plus side for Palin.

Which brings me to Chris Rock’s Saturday night special “Kill the Messenger”: Here’s one comedian who understands the importance of having a vagina. “I love being a man,” he said, ” but I just wish I had a pussy for negotiation purposes.”

Speaking of which, anchorwoman Katie Couric of CBS was not impressed by Sarah Palin. I’ll never listen to accusations that Couric is a fembot again.  With laser-like focus, amidst many deliberate looking eyeblinks, she lured Governor Palin into yet more mindboggling speed-raps.  How many times can one person massacre the English language in public?  I’ve noticed we just can’t seem to get our fill of these things. 

Finally, finally, though, here was someone who knew how to put the Palin mind-myth to a test with the least amount of blood.  In an intimate cooing voice, Couric spun a web of false security for her opponent, while keeping Sarah the huntress dead in her sites.  Then Couric took her down.

Not once, folks, but many times.  I must have been one of the few who kept an eye on Katie, although, one blogger did charge Ms. Couric with being full of hate for Palin.  “Turn down the sound and you’ll see what I mean,” the female blogger said.

Maybe it only took a hard heart:  Some have suggested you have to be hard hearted if you want to criticize Palin. See here, folks, sometimes you have to put your feelings for a struggling mother of five aside.  Sometimes you really have to put the world first and do the dirty job no one else can stomach—call vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin to task.

When Couric confronted our favorite presidential hopeful with new polls indicating that the financial crisis had boosted Barack Obama’s popularity, Palin was quick to respond: “I’m not looking at poll numbers. What I think Americans at the end of the day are going to be able to go back and look at track records and see who’s more apt to be talking about solutions and wishing for and hoping for solutions for some opportunity to change, and who’s actually done it?”

The hard-hearted Katie approach was in direct contrast to her male counterpart heck of a job Charlie Gibson, who actually tried to feed Palin the answers.  I don’t know about the rest of ya’ll, but it really disturbs me to see men tippytoeing around the issues for fear of being branded sexist, not to mention swooning over her vagina.  Hey Fellas! A female praying mantis has one, too, and guess what happens to the males when they least expect it.  Chomp chomp!

Speaking of heads, Sarah Palin turned quite a few important ones at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.  In comportment, she was a step above your generic beauty queen.  Sigh of relief.

But men still swayed and swooned. Even asexual Henry Kissenger, appeared to be smitten and self-conscious.  Pakistan’s President Zardari had the right idea.  He asked if he might hug the ‘gorgeous’ Palin.

Now that I think about it.  Maybe we’re missing something important here.  Kathleen Parker of the ‘National Review’ had some food for thought about the Palin possibilities: Could Osama bin Laden be dying to meet her as well?

Conservative columnist Parker then went on to say “If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself”.  Parker also issued a plea on behalf of her fellow conservatives:  “Only Palin can save McCain, her party, and the country she loves. She can bow out for personal reasons, perhaps because she wants to spend more time with her newborn. No one would criticize a mother who puts her family first.”

Let me add my voice to Parker’s.  “Do it for your country, Sarah.”

How wonderful to witness the females finally coming together to block Palin’s march to power, although I don’t see how her bowing out of the race would alter that much.  McCain’s judgment would still be in question.  Yoo-hoo, Ms. Parker, your hero did pick Sarah Palin for his running mate.

Logic aside, folks, I guess we should be grateful that people like Parker are seeing Palin for what she obviously is, even if this doesn’t include a clear image of McCain.

In conclusion, I call on the rest of the media folk to rise up! (Foxbot Hannity excluded.) Let Katie Couric be a lesson to all male interviewers, including the vice presidential debate moderator.  Have no fear about being labeled ’sexist’.  Now is not the time to parade your sensitivity like a badge of evolved maleness.  Blast Palin where she’s weak—in the mind.

Though it will be difficult to watch this woman shrivel and lose all confidence, we can’t relent till she’s tucked tail and run back to bother the people who first elected her.  “Thanks but no thanks.”

Make no mistake.  This is the Presidency we’re talking about—it’s no place for this woman:

“As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where do they go? It’s Alaska,” she said. “It’s just right over the border. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there, they are right next to our state.”
