Don’t run, Sarah! Don’t run!

Palin propagandist John Ziegler warns that unless God Himself sends a golden chariot drawn by legions of cherubs to elevate Sarah Palin to the presidency, she is toast should she choose to disregard his advice and run in 2012:

[B]arring a literal act of God, there is absolutely no chance that Palin can beat Obama in 2012.

[snip]

[T]here is no doubt that her celebrity power keeps her theoretically viable to do literally anything she wants, except the problem here is that huge portions of public believe, wrongly, that they already know the real Sarah Palin… [A]re Republicans really going to run against an over-hyped, inexperienced, charismatic celebrity by nominating someone who is already thought of exactly that way by at least half of America?

An aside: What is it with wingnuts’ inability to use any form of the word “literal” correctly? Ever since former Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapleton informed us that, for her boss, “the world is literally her oyster,” I have been metaphorically scratching my noggin over this puzzling phenomenon…

But I digress. Back to Ziegler, unrequited Palin Svengali:

([F]or the record, I have shared almost all of these thoughts with her via her personal e-mail but have received no response)... If she really possesses the personal qualities that I have been claiming she does, then she will realize that it is not in her, her party’s, or her country’s interest for her to [run in 2012].

So if she does run despite Ziegler’s emails to her personal email address, will it prove she’s the dumb-as-dirt, self-interested grifter the rest of us have been claiming she is? Not for Ziegler—it’ll merely mean she’s a human being who doesn’t quite meet the Buffy the Vampire Slayer ideal:

They [the media] would like nothing better than the huge ratings that would come from a Palin run and will be thirsting like vampires just before dawn at the very thought of getting another chance to kill her off.

It is quite possible that with the media playing their siren’s song, her fans chanting “run, Sarah, run!,” her obsequious advisors hoping for campaign jobs, and with the specter of being the first female nominated for president tantalizingly within her grasp, the temptation may just be too great for her or any other human to resist. If she is able to do so, it will forever prove that media’s narrative about her could not be more wrong.

Or maybe it’ll only prove that even a booger-eating moron like Palin can grasp the implications of a poll that shows 71% of voters and more than half of conservatives think she’s unqualified to be president.
