The Sarah-cuda haunts their very dreams |
2008-09-09 |
David Plotz, Slate I could never make this stuff up. I'm not creative enough. I rarely remember my dreams, but for the past week, GOP vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin has been haunting me. Night after night, she appears in my dreams, always as a scolding, ominous figure. You must be a Democrat. When I mentioned my Palin dreams to Slate colleagues, they volunteered their own. One Obama-supporting colleague dreamed she had urged her young son to kill Palin with a string bean. Sarah deftly disarmed the little tyke and sent him off to play with Piper and Willow, then made the mother do sacramental penance by going on a string-bean-only diet from now to election day. Another dreamed she was at a fashion show and Palin served her crème fraîche on little scooped corn chips. The next course was moose liver patè with a garnish of opilio crab legs. A third says, "In the Sarah Palin dream I keep having, she has superhuman powers but is not really a person at all. In fact, she is more like the weather with glasses and an up-do, pushing clouds around and pitching lightning bolts." Sarah can actually do that. Be afraid, Obama. Be very afraid. |

#2 "Another dreamed she was at a fashion show and Palin served her crème fraîche on little scooped corn chips." creme fraiche? Us avg Americans don't know what that is and wouldn't be caught at a fashion show. |

#1 Sarah is the real deal. I used to take my kids out caribou hunting when they were 5 years old. When I gutted the caribou, we had an anatomy lesson. The kids helped. Now they do it themselves. Both my sons and my daughter. They know that meat does not start from a package in the store. |
