Sarah Palin might want to call her cable company and cancel CNN. In a new interview with walking sarcophagus Larry King (first link at bottom), Barbara Bush expresses her less than favorable view of the former Alaska governor: “I think she’s very happy in Alaska, and I hope she’ll stay there.” Ouch!But Barb does have one good thing to say about Palin: “She’s beautiful,” crowed the old bat. [BTW, Old Man Bush, who also participated in the interview, had some rather hilarious and largely incoherent comments when asked what he thinks about the tea party: “Well, I don’t know what it [the tea party] really is, Larry . . . I’m confused by it, frankly.” Maybe it’s time for Barb to put ol’ H.W. out to pasture. But I digress.]
CNN also serves up the proverbial Double Whammy on Palin, releasing a new poll supporting the viewpoint expressed in this space earlier in the week, i.e. that she cannot beat Obama. According to the new poll (second link at bottom), almost half of the American population (49%) already has an unfavorable view of Palin, and the poll has her losing to Obama by 52% to 44% -- a weaker showing than other potential GOP candidates.
But it’s not all stormy skies for Palin. She still has her reality show, her small sliver of the republican party that still supports her, and a husband who still loves her. Sometimes you just have to embrace the little things in life.
