Who Killed Sarah Palin?
With homage to: Who killed Cock Robin? Tommy Thumb's Pretty Song Book, published c. 1744 Source Wikipedia
"Only dead fish 'go with the flow.'" - Sarah Palin
Who Killed Sarah Palin('s Political Career)?
Who Killed Sarah Palin?
I, said John McCain,
for getting her in the national game.
I killed Sarah Palin.
Who saw her die?
I, said the non-stop negative media eye
with a Couric's view we did pry.
I saw her die.
Who caught her blood?
I, said greed,
with a book deal, a speaking tour, and God squad's speed
I caught her blood.
Who will make the shroud?
I, said her inner diva
no more fancy pageant walking, for this I sit Shiva
I will make the shroud.
Who will dig her grave?
I, said hypersensitive,
can't take criticism, makes her apprehensive,
I will dig her grave.
Who will be the parson?
I, said narcissistic,
say bad things about her and she goes ballistic.
I'll be the parson
Who will be the clerk?
I, said Levi Johnston,
I'm writing a book and need to get my bitter-pill on.
I'll be the clerk.
Who will carry the link?
I, said scandal,
there's lots more of me to come, and I've got a handle.
I'll carry the link.
Who'll be chief mourner?
I, said Mitt Romney,
I'll bring my supporters, we're all real smarmy.
I'll be chief mourner.
Who'll carry the coffin?
I, said the social conservative base,
to us she is more then a very pretty face.
I will carry the coffin.
Who will bear the pall?
I, said Bill Crystal,
she's my first choice and I'll take her in a pistol.
I will bear the pall.
Who will sing the psalm?
I, said pressure,
or all be told she is only a political fresher.
I will sing the psalm.
Who'll toll the bell?
I, said the GOP's,
she was getting too big for her britches and me too weak in the knees.
I will toll the bell.
All the right pundits of the air
fell a-sighing and a-wailen,
when they heard the bell toll
for poor Sarah Palin.
Who Killed Sarah Palin?
I, said Sarah Palin,
all my political life it's me whose been a-flailin.
That is why I killed Sarah Palin.
Why oh why did she do herself in?
That my friends is the purpose of this rhyme,
the truth must be told (and she knows it)
our Sarah is not ready for prime-time.
You betcha...

Spoke to Rocky this morning. He is very concerned, Bullwinkle still has family in Alaska. Now with "her" on the loose they are afraid to go out and do not dare to wear green. At night they are on the rooftops praying. Blow is a link.

I don't know how this could be said better, especially after you listened to her good bye speech.

Beyond terrific and so on target. Hope you send this to Alaskan blogs (mudflats, etc.) as it will garner much attention and major kudos!
Thanks.

Perfect.

It's a wonder it didn't happen before now. How long could a personality such as this survive without imploding or exploding or both? "Only dead fish go with the flow"- indeed.

Yep: And Palin's quitting (and you thought it fishy?) means she's no longer going against the flow.

Hiding under a lilypad, perhaps?

How fun and most excellent! Regards to Murry.

Sending this to Mom (there is no higher praise).

WHO WAS WILLIAM MILLER?
I predict the biggest post-Palin requirement will be to decide whether she is a footnote or asterisk to the Election of '08.....
ANSWER to above: William Miller was Barry Goldwater's running mate in '64.

Wow.
The last verse doesn't fit with the rest.
She'd already stood in judgement on herself.

Brilliant!
It's got the whimsical nature of poetry with sharp keen insight. I would recomment it many times. I'm with DD. It's a conspiracy. Maybe TPM ought to get into a rating on 1-5 cause this is a 7.

Who Killed Sarah Palin?

Palin's demise was the result of enemy action as enemy was defined by Walt Kelley in Pogo:" We have met the enemy and they are us." Whereas Sanford is a
hypocrite, she is a hypoquitter.

I saw a wanted poster (yes, I am making this up) with Palin's picture on it, and offer of a reward:
Wanted: Sarin Palin for Murder of Sarah Palin.

You may want to put that shroud away for safe-keeping. Gov. Palin is likely to be echoing Mr. Clemens soon.
