Sarah Palin hasn’t been seen since she handed over the largest state to her lieutenant governor, what’s-his-name. The one she sarcastically admonished the media not to hound in her farewell fair warning speech. Her edict has enjoyed a rare, if coincidental, success.

But since then she herself has only been “heard” on Facebook, via a series of propaganda-laden notes. Her big hit was the first one, where President Obama was painted as personally demanding that all medical treatment be withheld from her poor kid saddled with Down Syndrome, as well as from her parents, who were only slightly more lucky with their loin roulette spins. After that, she started writing notes that weren’t quite crazy enough for anyone in the media to care about.

But for your information, those notes include:

1. A piece of investigative journalism in which the lid is blown off of a secret plot by President Obama to buy oil from a foreign country— Brazil! Palin is disgusted that Obama isn’t doing all he can to deplete America’s oil first, while creating a job market for the important and patriotic task of moving us toward the goal of being completely vulnerable to oil embargoes. At this point, you might want to recall that stewarding natural resources was pitched as her strong suit.

2. A plea for tort reform, so corporations can be negligent in a more cost-effective manner. Nothing too exciting there, just basic GOP class warfare.

But what’s going on? Is it even her making those posts? The death panel one sounds somewhat like her, but the rest don’t read at all like other things she’s written. A couple of them are just collections of verbage from lobbyists and their pet legislators.

Is this what she’s offering her cultists in exchange for flaking out on the only thing that could have legitimized her? A mute and invisible “celebrity endorsement” of policies? Sarah, George Foreman got on TV to sell the grill. All you’re accomplishing here is showing people that you don’t know anyone who knows how to upload to YouTube.
