Take your pick: B is for Beauty queen, or for Bailout. That is too rich topically to combine in a single day's entry. I will start with the beauty queen. We can move on to the bail-out issue tomorrow
Why should we have any reservations about a beauty queen?
1.Beauty is usually only skin-deep. Sara may be the exception. She certainly is a quick-take, and has a facile if empty capacity to use words when in her people pleasing mode. The problem is, too many in our electorate
may be more impressed by her womanhood and beauty to notice that she has many of the qualities of a mean air-head, more adept with words than ideas.
2.I find it easy to imagine a scene from her Miss America days. The judges huddle in she consterfnation:
Sara has had an interview in which She tells a little about herself Including her plzns for the future. She sharew her dream with open spontaniety "First I will sserve as governor. Then I will be so popular I will get picked as a vice presidenti cndidate
by an aged warrior too desperate to vet my candidacy.
At that point the judges (it IS national T.V.)are so flustered by her charming grandiosity and do not know how to respond to such unrealistic expectation. They are relieved and unanimous when one suggests, "let's make her Miss Congeniality. Everyone was pleased. As was Osama years later when he considered the prospect.
Osama.
