Still fixated on this Sarah Palin business. It’ll pass. Soon, I hope.
This was in the paper today:
PALIN INTERVIEW: In a phone interview with the Anchorage Daily News Saturday, Gov. Sarah Palin was asked if she is ready to become president, should the need arise.
“I am … I am up to the task, of course. Of focusing on the challenges that face America, and I am very pleased with the situation that I am in, when, when you consider the situation now that Alaska will be in….of opening the eyes of the country to what it is that Alaska is all about and what Alaska has to offer.”
We’ve been trying to get rid of our natural gas for years. This is not a pun.
….Palin said that thanks to the wonders of technology, she’ll remain on the job as governor while campaigning across the country and returning to Alaska when possible.
I wonder, then, how tough a job could it be?

I don’t mean this as a rip on Palin, because I like her – just like almost every other normal person.
The answer to your question – “how tough a job could it be?”
It popped into my head immediately. The “job” is only difficult for those who really care about the people they represent. For those people, the “job” would be an albatross around their necks, which is why most normal, decent people these days are completely uninterested in becoming politicians. They would care, and therefore the job would take its toll.
Come to your own conclusions about those who don’t seem to be affected by the “job”. These types comprise the vast majority of politicians.
We need more of the former.
