The current Presidential primary campaign has been the most
lackluster, most predictable, and most civil campaign in history. So it was refreshing
last Tuesday when Sarah Palin took the stage with Donald Trump and shook things
up a bit. There she was, fresh off a flight on Trump's golden jet, the airplane
of the real Americans, standing before microphones and cameras, gushing as no
one else can gush. Although decried by the mainstream media, the speech was
brilliant.
The liberal press only saw a woman babbling at a speed that would
normally indicate someone who had just done business with her dealer. But
that was all an act. It was an intentional way of shining a light on the lack
of progress the Obama administration has made on the war on drugs. The pundits
mocked her wardrobe, but they didn't see the cleverness in choosing an outfit
that could only make the electorate think of Hillary Clinton's infamous use of
the words, "Tammy Wynette."
Trump is nobody's fool, either. Getting Palin to rise from
the dead like this forced Bernie Sanders to cancel the endorsement announcement
he had planned to make with Kato Kaelin.
Sarah and Trump are among the many people who denounce blaming
the government for everything, and they urge people to take personal responsibility.
So it is appropriate that she placed the responsibility for her son's domestic
abuse arrest and his sadly disturbed state squarely where that personal responsibility
belongs: with President Obama. Everyone has to agree that it was awful that
Obama forced Palin's son to do what he did and it is disgusting that the President
insisted on having that pesky little automatic weapon lying around the Palin house.
But what's even worse is that somehow Obama made Sarah leave her son's side at
this crucial moment of his life to rush off to begin her selfless return to the
political arena. Shame on you, Mr. President.
Some of the criticism that Mr. Trump has faced involves the
assertion that he is not prepared for the highest office in the land. I look
forward to Sarah putting this canard to rest. She is the kind of person whose
intelligence and mastery of language can get this done in one swell swoop. I
can just hear her now, simultaneously defending her boy Donald while appropriately
skewering the Senator from Texas: "Let's stop pussyfooting around here. Is
anyone else tired of people attacking poor, defenseless Donald Trump? How is
Cruz any better prepared to be Commander in Chief than Donald? The only things Cruz
is famous for are jumping up and down on Oprah's couch and being in those 'Mission
Impossible' movies."
