Recently America’s Ice Empress in Waiting, Sarah Palin, finished "writing" a 400 PAGE (both sides of the page) BOOK comprising words and intermittent punctuation strung together in complex patterns in an effort to convey, as Ms. Palin calls it: "stuff I know that I told that Jesus lady who, although not as pretty as me, writes good".

And even though about billion of the still embryonic books have been sold to people (many of whom cough*RichLowry*cough  are under the mistaken impression that it will contain a scratch-n-sniff),  there are still snooty-face elitists who do not take Sarah Palin AUTHOR and CHINESE SPEECH GIVER very seriously:

 Former Gov. Sarah Palin won’t be the Republican nominee for president in 2012, a panel on NBC’s "Meet the Press" agreed this morning.

David Brooks, the conservative columnist for The New York Times, was so adamant on the point that he vowed that he’d eat his hat or a cup on the air if Palin became the nominee.

"She will not be, because people just don’t like that style of politics," Brooks said. He explained that primary voters — Democrats and Republicans — don’t go for harsh politics, or what he called "a margin on the edge."

Moderator David Gregory read the view of Steve Schmidt, who ran John McCain’s campaign last year, that a Palin candidacy could produce a "catastrophic election result."

On "Meet the Press," Republican strategist Mike Murphy agreed that Palin won’t be the nominee.  "She has a constituency. She’ll never be the nominee," Murphy said. "It would be actually a disaster if she was the nominee."

Obviously Sarah Palin, AUTHOR and CHINESE SPEECH GIVER, has much work to do. So she retired to her new home office (formerly Bristol’s Sexytime Bootytorium) and had Randy Scheunemann write one of those facebook things about Afghanistan while Sarah watched Ellen. Even though she’s a lesbian. Ellen is. Not Sarah. Oh, put it away, Lowry:

We can win in Afghanistan by helping the Afghans build a stable representative state able to defend itself. And we must do what it takes to prevail. The stakes are very high. The 9/11 attacks were planned in Afghanistan, and if we are not successful there, al Qaeda will once again find a safe haven, the Taliban will impose its cruelty on the Afghan people, and Pakistan will be less stable.

 Sarah added that America also must not run out of those warm throw blankets or those dogs that look like Ann Coulter but Scheunemann just pretended to type that part and then he distracted her with a flashlight.
