Sarah Palin in Your Kitchen

Sarah Palin is dissatisfied with the prevailing model of mass politics:

On the tarmac, Palin also referred to robocalls as “inside baseball,” suggesting it was not her call for the campaign to randomly call voters with negative attacks on Obama. “If I called all the shots, and if I could wave a magic wand, I would be sitting at a kitchen table with more and more Americans … and not having to rely on the old conventional ways of campaigning that includes those robocalls and includes spending so much money on the television ads that I think is kinda draining out there in terms of Americans’ attention span,” she said.

That is to say, if Sarah Palin were calling the shots and bearing a magic wand, the United States would be as populous as a small town — say, for instance, a small town in Alaska — and she’d be calling Barack Obama a terrorist consort at your kitchen table.

Speaking merely for myself, I’ve never heard a stronger rationale for eliminating the very idea of a kitchen.

… Jesus, what a maroon. I suppose, though, there’s something to be said for creating the opportunity for millions of Americans to hang up on Sarah Palin. I’m tempted to add the “Send Sarah Home” plea here, but isn’t there somewhere else we might send her instead? Does Oklahoma need a governor? Utah? Is there a town somewhere without a mayor?
