A new Washington Post/Pew Research poll reveals that more than a third of Republicans dislike the clown college that passes for their crop of 2012 Presidential candidates.
We can't tell from Chris Silly-izza's blog post whether Republicans were giving a thumb's down just to announced candidates, or to the whole sorry 2012 lot, including the famous quitter from Alaska. He provided no link to the actual poll results. But if frustrated GOP voters are not including Sarah Palin in their raspberries, we cats might know why. Really! Here are just a few reasons that Republicans might find the famous quitter superior to her fellow GOP harlequins.
- She's still married to Spouse #1, and has never been caught committing adultery with a public employee.
- She's never advocated secession (although her husband may have).
- Her husband speaks English, and has never tried to smuggle $20,000 worth of Paris dresses into the U.S.
- She never drove to Canada with the family dog strapped to the roof of the car.
- She has a son who actually enlisted in the military — as opposed to sending him on the campaign trail and calling that serving the country.
- She never worked for the Obama Administration.
- She never lost a Senate race by 18 points.
- She never faced a major terrorist attack with a broken communications system that she didn't fix, thereby preventing first responders from coordinating a rescue (and killing hundreds of them in the process).
- She never wrote and signed a state version of health care reform.
- She's never declared bankruptcy.
- While she falsely claimed she'd rejected federal funding for a bridge in her state, at least she never allowed a span in her largest city to fall into disrepair and collapse, killing five people.
- Being apparently fertile, she's never had to overcompensate by fostering two dozen kids.
- And finally, our favorite: She never insulted the intelligence of her constituents by seeking re-election as Governor.
