These ARE the End Times

[oselle]

Twice in the past week I have found myself watching Sarah Palin on television. You who follow my journal know what a fan I am of apocalyptic fiction, yet in all my travels through that genre I have never met a fictitious dystopian villain as over the top as Sarah Palin is in real life. The one that may come the closest is Randall Flagg, Stephen King's grinning, denim-clad antichrist in The Stand. Folksy psychopath (and would-be President of the U.S.) Greg Stillson, from King's The Dead Zone, is also a contender. But none of these characters -- NO fictional character -- even comes close to what Palin puts out there. Her shtick makes the Walkin' Dude look like a two-bit carny hustler. Some people laugh at her but I don't. She scares the living shit out of me.

Did you hear about her reality tv show? The End is extremely fucking nigh, my friend.

All I see, whenever I think of her, is a video of supporters lined up to see her speak during the presidential campaign. They were a group of the vilest, most hate-filled people I'd ever seen. Which is pretty damn indicative of the kind of person Palin is.

Yeah, I've heard about her reality show. She's the fucking Snooki of Alaska. I take that back, because Snooki's a role model in comparison. The only good thing about Sarah Palin becoming such a media star is that all that filthy lucre will keep her out of the relatively low-paying world of politics...but these days, she could probably find a way to do both.

What I don't understand are all these people who not only believe her, but who find her delightful and charming. I look at her and I just see this thing out of a horror movie. I mean she's just physically repulsive with all her tics and twitches and grimaces. And that's with the sound turned down. Then you listen to her and it's like, Christ, get the holy water.

Don't forget the WINK during the VP debate! That told me all I needed to know. The Presidential debates should be some of the most serious footage on televisions, where the state of the nation is literally at stake, and all she could do was sex her way through it. And unfortunately, the tactic seems to be working. Even "soulmate" McCain is taken aback.

And is it just me, or did somebody stuff her bra under that leather?

Oh please, the winking. She's almost fifty years old and she still thinks she's the fucking beauty pageant contestant she was 25 years ago. I'm surprised she didn't show up for the debate in a swimsuit. And yes, she was looking rather...pneumatic under all that leather.
