The Sarah-Diana Parallels Continue

By Sniffles

"[Diana] needed no royal title to continue to generate her particular brand of magic." —Earl Spencer, Sept. 6, 1997

"I've never thought I needed a title before one's name to forge progress in America." —Governor Sarah Palin, July 4, 2009

You know what, Governor? You kind of need the title. It's the only thing that makes you at all credible outside your nutty right-wing base. (Example: Think of how respectfully Joseph Biden addressed you during your Vice-Presidential debate.)

Also, when you throw off the state and all its trappings, you throw off the protection it offers you, too. We think the former Princess of Wales learned that the hard way.

UPDATE: It looks like we were channeling Tina Brown. Or she was channeling us.
