Boobgate

So I posted the video below, "There's a Kitten on the Stairs," in the wee hours of the morning today. Imagine my surprise, then, to have been greeted by the news that the blogosphere is now abuzz with gossip that Sarah Palin may have received breast enhancement surgery. She attended the Belmont Stakes with her husband, Todd, and was wearing a white top which gave the appearance of her being a bit larger on top than she usually looks in the loose fitting t-shirts and jackets she is normally photographed wearing.
This is exactly the sort of thing my video was made to warn against.
It makes her look cute, harmless and a victim, while at the same time keeps her in the national spotlight without her actually having to do anything. And it helps her starpower grow.
She's out there raising money for candidates, handing out endorsements, and building up a pile of IOU's which are going to be impossible to ignore as we get closer and closer to Iowa.
She's one of the most famous people in America, she's got a lot of money, a platform on Fox, Twitter and Facebook and more charisma and media savvy than everyone in the Republican Leadership combined.
And it really scares me the way so many people underestimate what she is capable of doing.
