Sarah Palin says she's waiting for a sign from God on whether she should run for president in 2012. Dear God, please tell her to do it.
After all, Palin's run for the vice presidency on the ticket with John McCain was an extremely entertaining albeit scary ride for the entire nation.
She became a national celebrity in late August, then spawned thousands of articles, Saturday Night Live skits and, yes, plenty of outrage at her lack of qualifications for the actual job of vice president.
Now that Palin has returned to Alaska as a defeated candidate, however, she apparently believes what she's hearing from large numbers of GOP conservatives -- that she could be a candidate for the presidency in four years.
She said in an interview broadcast Monday:
"I’m like, OK, God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray, I’m like, don’t let me miss the open door. And if there is an open door in (2012) or four years later, and if it is something that is going to be good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me, then I’ll plow through that door."
I'm not sure whether God will listen to Palin's request. But if He has a sense of humor, God will open that door for Palin, and America will have another riveting presidential campaign in 2012.

Palin is Still Faliin!
Palin just wants to keep her name in the news. She is interested only in herself, not our country. She is uneducated, inexperienced, unread, untrustworthy and worse. Only about half of her home state voted for her and McPain. Over 200,000 joined WASP...Women Against Sarah Palin. Our friends in England, Germany, and Sri lanka emailed us asking why she was allowed to be even considered for gevernmental posts! The world laughs at her and us! NO MORE FAILIN. I've lived in Alaska and if she was interested in fact instead of fame she'd see the glaciers ARE retreating. Get on with important issues for our country, let the little cry baby go back to obscurity.
Palin
I'm Australian and like much of the world became entralled in the election. Having researched the candidates I CANNOT understand why anyone would support Palin. Besides being ablt to spit out age old GOP rhetoric the woman is vacuous, harpy and embarassingly ignorant. She has a verifiable history of machiavellian behaviour and offers nothing but the brain dead mind set of the christian right. Her answers to interview questions show that she is intellectually clearly out of her depth. She is an insult to independent thinking women everywhere.
"Fame is fleeting"
The world changes at wharp speed and Governor Palin will become just a footnote to history as the next four years rolls by. Rudy and Hillary are proof positive that the past is not a prelude to the future. Some unknown figure will come out of the shadows and, if the economy is still in the doldrums, become the next president. I doubt , however, that it will be any of the present cast of characters.
Proud. Very proud.
I have no doubt that the publisher and the owners of the Kansas City Star are proud of efforts of their editorial board columnist to get additional traffic and thus ad dollars from this site. Job security being what it is.
Joe McGuff, God rest his soul, is more than likely disgusted and relieved he is no longer alive to see what has happened to this paper.
Yael T. Abouhalkah's column and Sarah Palin
If you dislike Sarah Palin and enjoy making fun of her, then Yael T. Abouhalkah's column (and many of the reader comments) is definitely the place for you. Has this guy ever written anything positive about Sarah Palin?
Dear God
2. No, Sarah Palin, I do not want you to be President. I want you to be a cleaning lady at the Super 8 off of I-35 in Deluth.
This is God's plan.
I always knew you had a sense of humor
Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel
"And you're a dumbass too"
If you decide to call me on my incessant typos. Nice try.
"Sarah Palin is a dumbass."
I can say that with a high degree of confidence, accuracy and conviuction.
For Your Edification
Mr./Ms. Lambert,
"Quad Kings" is poker parlance for four Kings. A particularly strong hand in my favorite game, Texas Hold 'em.
You don't think the Uncredible Halkah was treating Sarah poorly??? Compared to my characterizations of his post? Really???
By the way, I've known how to spell "superior" for quite some time. But I am guilty of a typo and posting quickly. So there ... you've got me! You've decimated me in the intellectual arena.
Have a nice day!
