Oh Come on. Really? You Thought We Were Done with Palin?

Ok. So we thought so too. Who else could grab 15 minutes of fame and turn it into an hour and a half? While Palin couldn't talk to the talking heads while she was under armed guard at the McCracker-fest, she is now free to roam the planet.

That's most obvious if you watched television, or read anything this past week. The ink isn't even dry on the new paint job on the retired Jet Blue campaign jet, and Palin is pot-holing up the airways with her Palin-speak charm. First Greta Van Susteren gave her an opportunity to film a fine Fox infomercial. It almost seems as though by the end of it they were BFF. I guess Hasselbeck will not be getting that Christmas mouse, oops, moose pudding this year?

Next up was Matt Lauer doing his "where in the world" series ending up in Palin's kitchen in Wasilla. Did anyone else notice anything a bit odd about that kitchen episode where she fed Lauer (moose chili?) or moose hot dogs? The kitchen comes into view at about 4:18.



It looks like they (Palin and First Dude Todd) saw the kitchen in a photo in some slick magazine and copied it frame for frame into a real kitchen. Only thing is, no one told them that slick lay-out kitchens in magazines are typically not useful in real life. You know the one. The kitchen where the sink is in another room altogether and the stove is five yards from the refrigerator and nary a useful kitchen like tool adorns the counter tops. It would not surprise me to see a shotgun in a drawer in that house. After all, you never know when an unsuspecting moose might wander into the yard.

And while we are on the subject of reality v. fantasy, who cooks in a power suit? Come on. Seriously. Barracud-ass did photo ops on the campaign trail in those Pro America places with bluejeans. One more bit of proof that her kitchen is not really a kitchen. Seriously. Just a blue screen.

And then Palin takes off to the GOP Governor's conference. Again, she agrees to another press conference. The Palin-on-the-road show. But this time, some of the Governors accompany her on the stage. And the hair guy from Texas, Governor Rick, led her by the elbow and announced that the press conference was done after something under 8 minutes. Is he running the Palin show now? What happened? Did the press just start to leave? The Perry arm action is about 6:27.



And a side note. Little Piper, when asked by Lauer how she enjoyed the campaign show and tell (she being the object of show and tell along with Trig) told him that she was really behind on homework and that she missed her friends. Great mothering Palin. Like the Obama girls, why couldn't your first dude stay home to take care of the children? Even your parents would have been a better choice than constantly taking them on the road for your six week Alaskan Idol Tour.

Nope. Not the last we've heard from her yet. Does anyone know if they are recruiting on Planet of the Apes for a new vice presidential candidate?
