The Chicago Sun Times is reporting that of all people who were likely to drop in at the last minute at the Iowa State Fair to say a howdy do Sarah Palin would be that person. Evidently the Ice Queen is no longer on “jury duty” and has resumed her “One Nation” bus tour just in time for the Iowa Straw Poll tomorrow, even though she hasn’t decided yet if she’s running.
Palin however is claiming she just happened to drop by, “To help highlight this historic all-Americana event. It’s the Iowa State Fair. I’m glad to have it as one of the stops on our ‘One Nation’ bus tour”. Yes sir folks, she just thought she’d help promote your fair; that and she has a deep hankering for fried butter.
“I’m heading down to the fried butter,” she said. “There’s always much more room for much more.”
While fired butter may have been on her lips, it was clear Queen Sarah was hoping to upset some other Republican Tea Party (GOTP) campaigns with her presence, but according to the Sun Times she was able to walk for long stretches through the fairgrounds without being recognized, which was no irritating to someone who craves attention like a junkie craves her next fix; but then some FOX News couch potato would recognize her and she would practically be mobbed by her adoring subjects asking for her autograph and posing for pictures. Clearly some of her luster has faded. Is it possible the Queen has been replaced by a lady in waiting?
As she walked along occasional adoring accolades floated through the air, with loyal Palinistas calling out, “Run, Sarah!” and “You Rock, Sarah!” But there was the intermittent sensible Iowan who would see her and be heard to say, “Oh God, I don’t need to see her!”
When asked if Her Majesty would be throwing her crown into the ring anytime soon she reportedly responded, “That’s still a possibility for a timetable, yes, definitely … to be fair to those supporters and potential supporters, who are waiting on figuring out what the set field will be, I want to be fair to them and make sure that they don’t feel like they are just hanging on to something that’s not going to happen.”
But the Queen isn’t alone in wanting to upset the status quo; Republic of Texas President Rick Perry is expected to try to steal the limelight from the poll by announcing his candidacy in South Carolina Saturday; where else would a secessionist announce his desire to be president? Of course, that’s just what we need, another dim-witted, folksy former governor of Texas running things.
