You Can Sit At My Table, Fatass
Sarah Palin getting on the other side of childhood obesity prevention is, I think, among the most compelling arguments that her political identity is no less than a marketing scheme, cleverly designed to appeal to the segment of society that has been left behind by a world rapidly advancing towards a future in which they don’t speak the language.
Her political persona, seems to be part of a broader Republican political strategy based, less on honest approaches to policy, and more on consoling the weaknesses of the undereducated fringes of society; those in America that have trouble integrating into a world where honest political efficacy requires a growing depth of understanding that they are increasingly estranged to, and fearful of.
A series of metaphors to help paint the picture:
- •Sarah Palin is a cartoon on a cereal box awarding exciting “Nice try” ribbons to Americans who didnt place in the contest of political efficacy.
- •Shes the lady of the night who doesn’t care what you look like, but asks you to leave your vote on the bedside table.
- •Shes, almost literally, the ring leader of a table of fat kids, who resent the merits of popular kids, and are tired of being marginalize.
