Let's all unite, if only for one minute--to laugh at Sarah Palin

Ok, I just heard this on CNN.

The talking head just said, "I talked to Sarah Palin and she said that if she got a cabinet position in a Trump presidency that she would like to be Secretary of Energy. Then, she said that after becoming the Secretary of Energy she would use her power to close down the Department of Energy."

Ummmmm....ok.

And then what? Would she just turn out the lights and go back home to Alaska?

Oh wait, she's talking to Republicans... they've turned it into an art form.

I could see it. She uproots her entire family to DC, they buy a house, put their kids in DC schools. First day at work, she closes the Department of Energy. That afternoon, her family flies back home to Alaska.

She just comes across as very low on the intelligence scale.

You could almost say that McCain choosing this dull blade for VP was the beginning of the Trumpification of 'Merica.

by becoming that DysGov ourselves!

Incidentally, this post is yet another ever-so-common irritating example of failure to give text a decent once-over. If you trouble to display it, could you please demonstrate respect for the language and actually check before posting?

I am not blameless of course, just easily irritated!
