        She might have to give interviews outside of Fox (Canned) News! It would be so great for a laugh.

          Who knows? Given the recent trajectory of the Republican Party, she could very well figure out a way to exist totally within the FOX/Hate Radio bubble. The other News Networks don't seem to have the spine to challenge FOX, so she could probably pull it off.

        Steele has already established that an RNC chair can make paid speeches and promote books with impunity.

          And no facts or intelligence to back up anything they say or do.

          Sounds like Caribou Barbiw would be PERFECT for the position....

        I actually don't think Palin would be concerned about those things if she were drafted. I think that's what she wants and expects. Her ego is telling her that the American people want her as Prez. I wouldn't be surprised if she believes that if she had been to of the ticket she and McCain would've won in 2008.

      This may be the best idea Hoft has ever advanced in his whole blogging career. It'll get her out of the 2012 race and further diminish the GOP at the same time.

      Wow. This Hoft guy should be writing for Hate Radio... he has all their talking points down pat.

      I do agree with Troglodyte Jim that the Republican Party is dysfunctional. However, somebody needs to tell him that it goes much further back than four years.

        Judging from Palin's family, the disfunctionality could only multiply.

      With her mighty leather outfits, she will smite the Democrats using the power of Facebook. Truly, she is the leader for our times.

        You may have hit on something here. Palintwit could very well emerge as the poster girl for Reality-TV-America. Idiocracy, here we come.

      Eewww. If a Democrat had posted that picture of Palin, the right-wing would have been up in arms at the inherent bias shown in choosing such an unflattering portrait. Or something.

      I was going to sign that petition because Palin as RNC chair would be a gift to the Dems. But then I didn't want to end up on their email list so I didn't.
