Interpreting Palin's dream-like popularity

When I awoke two years ago in Fairbanks and heard that John McCain had chosen Sarah Palin as a vice presidential candidate, I felt I had woken up in a never-ending dream, an improbable parallel reality.

(We Alaskans knew she had to be better than the previous governor, Frank Murkowski, but that was a very low bar, given that he had a 20 percent popularity rating. She appeared to be a bit of a feisty fluff-head, a breath of fresh air -- but vice presidential material?" This must be a dream," I told myself.)

Apparently this dreamlike improbable parallel reality has now continued for more than two years. So I tell myself, "I am a psychologist. I work with dreams. If I am ever to wake up out of this dream, I clearly have to figure out, 'What part of my psyche does Sarah Palin represent?'"

2. Someone...on a TV talk show recently...stated his theory that the reason for the barracuda's

popularity among the tbaggers and repukes was because all the old, pasty, white men have sexual fantasies about her...like that nerdie repuke blogger who saw stars when she spoke during the VP debate, and was sure she was looking right at him....sitting in his underwear on his couch.

3. that's pretty much it.

it has been polled to death that she doesn't fair well with ANY women (teabagger or not) and that old, pasty white men on Viagra all dream of boning her. (like fish I would hope, but I think they mean a different kind of boning) Hell, I bet then don't even know she's talking half the time....they just dream of being on top of her.

4. Just like the "Tea Party"...

Palin is another plastic bauble being sold to the masses. I don't believe in her so-called "popularity". It's a fraud... Just like most everything else in these times.
