Here are two words calculated to scare the poo out of you, and it’s not a joke. Ready?

President Palin.

Yeah, I know. She resigned from office last week under what appears to be mysterious circumstances. Then she pretty much threatened to sue anybody who suggests there might have been any mysterious circumstances. Well, I’m raising the possibility that this dimwit resigned under mysterious circumstances, and if she doesn’t like that, well, evidently I like Alaska a lot more than she does and I wouldn’t mind going there to defend myself and, oh yeah, the constitution of the United States of America. You know, the very thing Palin and her equally mindless sycophants use as toilet paper.

But it doesn’t really matter. Palin’s hardcore will support her anyway. Mike Judge’s Idiocracy was brilliant, but it was set way too far in the future. If you’ve seen the movie, yes, I’d rather vote for Terry Crews. I probably would no matter who Crews was running against. But I digress.

Here’s why “President Palin” is a real possibility. The Re-Pubs have nobody else. Yes, it’s possible they can grow a new candidate, but these days you’ve got to start four years out and, besides, they can’t seem to find anybody else without a steamy sex scandal.

The Democrats can lose. They can lose if the economy is worse. They can lose if the economy isn’t better. They can lose if the United States has been attacked, if some nation – any nation – gets nuked. If Obama can’t deliver on health case, the Democrats are toast.

If that happens, be afraid. Be very afraid.

As she has repeatedly demonstrated, Palin is dumber than a bag of doorknobs. But that hasn’t stopped us before. At first, the idea of electing a washed-up faghag of a B actor as president was a silly joke, but Reagan’s controllers managed to get him 51% of the vote.

Worse still, almost 50% of us voted for little Georgie Bush, remember?

She’s poster girl for the Re-Pubs; she’s poster girl for the Objectivists, she’s poster girl for the misnomered conservatives. That’s a bigger following than any other Re-Pub has.

Don’t count Palin out.
