Eskimo Boy, Scott Palin as "First Lady"???

I was watching a news clip this morning and there was Scott Palin, shaking hands & waving at the crowd as though he was running for president. Oh my, he was putting on quite a show and for a while there was no sign of Granny Palin. Eventually, of course the camera swings around to catch Granny.

As I watched a visual of Eskimo boy as first lady (First Dude?) floated across my mind.......... yee gods, I was wide awake but it was a nightmare in the making.

First "lady"...... and I think of Nancy Reagan ordering brand new china, redecorating the White House to suit her taste at our expense, of course. Next I see "First Lady Palin" followed by the sight of a bear skin rug on the floor of the Oval office, deer antlers & assorted preserved animal heads on the walls & a platter of mooseburgers sitting on the desktop that had once held the writings of Abe Lincoln.

The day before pResident Palin, accompanied by daughters Bristol, Piper & grandson Trig, had ordered her helicopter and flew over the National Zoo where she shot the moose. She swings out of the helicopter & down she goes to grab the dying moose by his antlers, yanks his head back and slashes his throat. She proceeds to gut and skin the poor animal, then orders the White House cook to load him up for the trip back to the kitchen where it was cut up, ground up and cooked for Granny Palin.

Now the mooseburgers sit on the desk on a platter that is part of the new set of China, which is decorated with a picture of a large male moose. Granny is leaning back in the chair ....ooops the chair. No longer that presidential looking leather chair, we are now faced with a large sofa covered in skins from the multiple animals killed by Granny Palin.

It is a virtual patchwork of little animal skins. Across the room is an extral long table/desk, placed there just for "First Lady" Scott. It features a coordinated Lazy Boy recliner also covered with the fur from little dead animals. On the desk is a red phone that matches the one on pResident Granny Palin's desk. The table also has a life size sculpture of a sled and sled dogs.

"First Lady" Scott is sitting erect in his Lazy Boy, with a comb in hand, carefully combing every hair in place as he smiles at himself in the mirror which is mounted on the side of the sled. He primps, poses & smiles some more as he carefully trims the dainty beard on his face.

He leans over to brush a tiny speck of dust off the snowmobile sitting next to his desk. Just then the red phone rings and he jumps to grab it at the same time as Granny Palin picks up the one on her desk.........

..........Dog sled races on the White House lawn, Mooseburgers, snowmobiles careening throw the streets of DC, helicopters zooming around with Granny Palin taking aim from above.................................. Dick Cheney cheering in his hidden bunker....... Tom Delay yelling, "PNAC is back"..........

And George Bush watching on his monster screen TV in Paraguay as the money pours into his bank account...............smirking.......... McCain is turning in his grave knowing it's all his fault........all of it!

Yee gods! I turn back to the boob tube which is telling me about the world's worst boxer, who is giving up fighting as a career because he has lost 256 of 300 bouts!

Relief! Scott Palin is not "First Lady" but, a word of warning, don't count your chickens before the eggs hatch. Granny Palin has announced that she's not finished with us yet.

The dumbing down of America continues, as does the long nightmare.

Small wonder that George Monbiot asked in a recent Alternet article, " How did politics in the United States come to be dominated by people who make a virtue out of ignorance? Was it charity that has permitted mankind's closest living relative to spend two terms as president?"

And you think it's a stretch for my imagination to take over with Eskimo Boy as "First Lady"?!!
