Which great politician does Palin remind you of?


I visit the Freepland a couple times a week, just to see what they are riled up about. Lately, they have discovered that Sarah possesses the traits of many of our greatest leaders.

Reagan, of course; because he too spoke the "truth", and did not worry about the fallout. Then, we have Teddy Roosevelt, who was known for his youth along with his passion for hunting and the great outdoors...need I say more? John Kennedy? Well, sure. He had the power to mesmerize thousands through the spoken word.

Yep, Sarah is so very much like the aforementioned men, it's downright scary!

So, I got to thinking. Maybe I too could find a public figure whose knowledge and demeanor went unmatched until Palin arrived on the scene. Another one-of-a-kind leader who; in his greatness, captures the very essence of the beloved hockey mom. It's only fair.

And, after an exhaustive search; I did indeed find just such a person. Some of the words would have to be changed, but the resemblance is startling:

1. Reagan: vapid, evil, racist, classist
Reagan of the "our forefathers coming to uninhabited wasteland" and Palin with her anti-aborigine stance per oilfield norm.

Reagan by a landslide. Last time I heard that I remained ill for eight solid years the puke.

2. Pat Paulson from the old "Smother`s Brothers Show".
But, at least Pat was entertaining and we knew it was a JOKE.

3. Bosco The Dog Mayor of Sunol CA


In 1981, a Labrador retriever named Bosco was elected honorary mayor of Sunol, serving until his death in 1994. Bosco achieved a degree of international notoriety in 1990 when the Chinese newspaper The People's Daily reported on his tenure as an alleged example of the failings of the American electoral process.

11. No Question. Helen Chenoweth !
Sarah Palin and Helen Chenoweth are almost the same person
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Chenoweth-Hage

Excerpt:
During her tenure, she was referred to by her most outspoken critics as a "poster-child for the militias." The Los Angeles Times editorialized that during the campaign she gained national attention by "holding 'endangered salmon bakes' during fundraisers, serving canned salmon to ridicule the listing of Idaho salmon as an endangered species." She was quoted as saying in response, "It's the white, Anglo-Saxon male that's endangered today."
