Here's Looking at You, Sarah Palin

Congratulations to the former governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin! She will now be a commentator for Fox news. I'm sure everyone at Fox is pleased to know that they have landed such a commentator with gifts and talents that include being able to spy on Russia from her very own backyard. Now that is certainly something ABC or any of the other major networks will have a hard time rivaling.

What does this mean, though, for Palin's political career? With deep regret, I feel it means that she will not be running for president in 2012. The GOP is probably delighted; Palin would have had zero chance of beating current President Obama, even if his ratings are slipping. In the 2012 election, he'll be an incumbent with a Nobel Peace Prize. The GOP will have to find a candidate who at the very least knows his geography and can talk his way into Nobel Peace Prize of his own.

Irregardless, here at Dirty Laundry, we do sincerely extend our congratulations to the former governor. It's a great business venture. We wish Mrs. Palin all the best, and we send our condolences to the Democrats who understand that come 2012, winning the election will involve more than a simple geography test.
