For sometime, my wife has argued that beauty pageant contestants are no less than floozies walking around showing their software but lacking a hard drive. She opines that for any beauty pageant contestant to believe their looks are unique or above the norm, must truly be a veil to conceal their personal inequities. However, like most men, I have argued that beauty pageant contestants are not vetted for analytical skills or intellectual prowess but simply for their looks, which brings me to the issue of whether former beauty pageant contestant, Sarah Palin has truly gone rogue, or is simply trying to do damage control in hopes of getting back on stage as a future contestant?
However, it has not escaped me notice that conservative fox noise interviewers have been drooling when interviewing Sarah Palin. They claim that while they are discussing critical policy issues, the liberal media has been preoccupied with the salacious and inconsequential episodes of Sarah’s misunderstood persona. Although, when Sean Hannity asked “Governor” Palin if she believed President Obama was a socialist, she glossed over the question with a scrambled illustration of confusion. Did she really even understand the concept of socialism? Oh my god, I now understands my wife’s argument about beauty contestants; Sarah’s second coming is not a make-over of her body and mind, but simply, a Miss South Carolina Teen USA contestant revisited.
Notwithstanding, Sarah Paling appears to be gaining her confidence and it’s no longer about promoting her book as much as is to retake the political runway once more. Further providing her a false sense of accomplishment, is the tremendous following from her conservative base which seem oblivious to her simplistic view of the world. But she continues as if she was to become the crown jewel of the political pageant. And she will be, for the Grand Old Party and to the evangelical right-wing. However, having viewed a number of her interviews, I do not see Sarah Palin any different than how she was during the last election; she is intellectually poor, with a narrow view of the world, and with panache of a beauty contestant – nothing more. And while a great number of the conservative faithful are lined up for the circus, it should not translate into a belief that the gospel according to Sarah will be relevant in the end times. For I have seen the divine beauty contestants, including Carrie Prejean, and while there is a lot to look at, there is little, if any, intellectual discourse.
