The Beauty Queen Types

From Sarah Palin's Facebook message posted yesterday (according to Politico, anyway):
We have accomplished so much and there’s much more to do, but my family and I determined after prayerful consideration that sacrificing my title helps Alaska most.
Get that? Miss Wasilla thinks she's "sacrificing her title." Combine that w/ the mangled basketball analogy she cranked out in her live speech, & we're dealing w/ an Al Bundy here. You might remember Mr. Bundy, the protagonist of the situation comedy "Married with Children," whose sad lower-middle-class existence was held together by his memories of high school football heroism.
Beauty Queen & high school basketball heroine Sarah (And remember, that all happened a good 20 yrs. ago.) was sitting around Alaska bemoaning that governing is hard work & no one liked her like they used to, & then McCain (or whoever was handling him) had to tempt her w/ the possibility of ritzy department stores & national power & fame. A big mistake. Opening the Pandora's Box of her ambition may have already led directly to the dissolution or demise of the Republican Party.
