My good friend Andrew just summed up the whole Obamarama, or Obamanation, or whatever you choose to call it:
Obama basically blew up the death star last night and we are all Ewoks.
Brilliant.
Remember New Coke? It was fresh and sweet and hip. For about a week.
Then the backlash set in, and (surprise) Coke announced it was going back to it’s “classic, original formula.” For a while, you had both brands, a “choice.” Then, New Coke disappeared, only to be heard from on bad VH1 shows and blog posts from guys who don’t want to do any real work on a Friday afternoon.
Well, after seeing this today, it’s time to make it official. Gov. Sarah Palin is this century’s New Coke. All fizzle and little substance. Without a shred of staying power.
I don’t have a foreign policy adviser, but if I did, I wouldn’t hire a stylist who makes nearly twice the salary of my foreign policy adviser. IJS.
TPM has the scoop. We’ll all get to enjoy her stumbling over stuff you should have learned in 10th grade.
According to recent polls, Obama is leading by 50 percent or more in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Perhaps the damage is already done and it’s time to hang Sarah out to dry.
We’ll see. In the meantime, keep reading every newspaper and magazine that’s put in front of you.
