Could She Reach the Top in 2012? You Betcha Frank Rich

[elleng]

“THE perception I had, anyway, was that we were on top of the world,” Sarah Palin said at the climax of last Sunday’s premiere of her new television series, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.” At that point our fearless heroine had just completed a perilous rock climb, and if she looked as if she’d just stepped out of a spa instead, don’t expect her fans to question the reality. For them, Palin’s perception is the only reality that counts.

1. The Top of What, Frank?

If America is in a bottomless pit, does top have any meaning anymore?

2. In what respect, Churley???

3. "Can she reach the top?"

Does a turd float?

4. Her show pulled in less than half what Jon and Kate managed

of course, they had 8 and Palin has less, but still. She's TLC midgrade at best. Imagine being double bested by Jon and Kate Plus 8! After all of that press attention! Less than half the audience.

5. Thanks so much, Sen. McCain

for hoisting this annoyingly crazy family on us. Let freedom ring.
