Sarah Palin: God will help me decide..

Seems that the Lord has his work cut out!!!!!!!!!!!

In first sit-down interview since defeat, she looked as if she was auditioning for role of Yoda in Star Wars Episode VIIChris Ayres, in Los Angeles
Take a deep breath. The year 2012 isn’t just a date any more to Sarah Palin.

It has now become simply ‘Twelve’: the kind of gung-ho abbreviation you might give a billion-grossing movie franchise (‘Rings’), or a war (‘Nam’), or — more to the point — an historic ex-beauty-queen-takes-the-White House presidential election campaign.

"If there is an open door [to run for president] in Twelve — or 4 years later — and if it’s something that’s going to be good for my family, my state, my nation, an opportunity for me, then I’ll plough on through it," said the Alaska governor and former Republican vice presidential candidate in an interview broadcast on Fox News last night.

In other words: See ya in Twelve, Obama. Oh, you betcha!

Mrs Palin's interview was the first serious sit-down she's had with a journalist since losing the November 4 election.

If, that is, the term ‘serious' can ever be applied to a politician who says things like, “sometimes, y’know, I consider myself too a feminist — whatever that means!”. Not to mention a politican who is capable of using the term ‘Sarahcentric’ without any detectible irony, and who replied to a question about the fervour of her supporters by explaining that, “too though... not me personally were those cheers for”.

Yes, Mrs Palin’s syntax is now so back-to-front it’s as though she’s auditioning for the role of Yoda in Star Wars Episode VII.

It's hard to believe that it’s been only a week since November 4, when Mrs Palin’s contribution to the presidential ticket of John McCain seemingly helped terrify traditionally conservative American voters into electing a black liberal whose ex-friends and mentors include an unrepentant former terrorist and a preacher who believes that the United States ought to go to hell.

Last night's interview was attempt by Mrs Palin to answer her nameless critics while attempting to strike a more conciliatory tone. Indeed, the only time she wrinkled her nose in disgust was when describing: "Those bloggers in their pajamas sittin' in their parents' basements, just writin' garbage."

Likewise, she denied ever being ignorant of the members of NAFTA, or the fact that Africa is a continent.

Surprisingly, Mrs Palin didn't shy away from talk about 'Twelve'. Asked if she'd run, the answer was essentially yes, with the qualifier being that she’d do it only if God told her to. "Faith is a very big part of my life and putting my life in my Creator’s hands — this is what I always do," she said. "I’m like, 'okay, God, if there is an open for me somewhere' — this is what I always pray — I’m like, 'don’t let me miss the open door, show me where the open door is, even if it’s just cracked up a little bit, maybe I’ll plough right on through that, maybe prematurely plough through it, but don’t let me miss an open door.'"
