Tutorial For Palin As Gossip Abounds
If these rumors about Sarah Palin are true… wow. We just averted a catastrophe.
Let’s look at the positive, though: Sarah Palin has four years to fine tune herself before her next run. We’ll even give her a head start.
Sarah Palin, welcome to Life 101.
Credit cards are not magical. Campaign aides are not Santa’s elves.
Lesson One – Etiquette: There are some situations where answering the door in a towel is OK. For example, if your house is burning down and it’s the fire department, that's OK. Or if it’s your long lost husband and he’s locked out, that's OK. If it's two male staff advisers knocking on your hotel room, not OK! Don’t do it unless you are auditioning for a role in “Full-On Northern Exposure” or “I Did a Rod” – and I’m not talking about the TV show or the sled race. Though you may love Desperate Housewives, don’t use it as the standard bearer for manners.
Lesson Two – Finance: Money doesn’t grow on spruce trees. You can’t send your assistants on a $150,000 shopping spree and expect it not to come back to you. Credit cards are not magical. Campaign aides are not Santa’s elves.
Lesson Three – Geography: Africa is a continent. South Africa is a country on that continent. Are you still with me? Let’s try again. Africa is like your Louis Vuitton bag. South Africa is like your lipstick in it.
There you go, Sarah, go get those kinks worked out and we’ll see you in 2012 (that’s when the next election is).
