Teabaggers still pining away for Sarah Palin. Some people NEVER learn.

Is anybody else immediately reminded of that line from Austin Powers?

The tea party is still pining for Sarah Palin.

The grassroots conservative movement has yet to throw its support behind a Republican presidential candidate because “we don’t have the female Ronald Reagan running — and that’s Sarah Palin,” said Amy Kremer, chairwoman of the Tea Party Express. 

“We haven’t engaged in presidential politics yet because the movement hasn’t coalesced around anybody, so we’re just sitting back and waiting,” Kremer added. Predicting that a good slice of the country’s conservatives will not make up their minds until they are standing in front of the ballot box, Kremer singled out the former Alaska governor as “the only person out there right now that can truly excite the base.” 

“Certainly some candidates bring their own energy and excitement. Michele Bachmann had it early on when she won the [Iowa] straw poll, and then when Perry got in,” she said. “But there’s no one that is electrifying as Sarah Palin.” 

You know these must be the same people that sent away for those fake x-ray glasses in the back of the comic books, or who constantly visit fortune tellers in the hopes of learning their futures, or who bought gold from Glenn Beck's favorite advertiser Goldline International. In other words this political movement simply must be made up of the most simple minded, easily manipulated people in the country.

It was one thing to buy into Palin's fake political persona while she was on the McCain campaign trail, and had plenty of sycophants applying lacquer to hide her hateful stench like a pair of Alaskan moosenugget earrings sitting on a gift store shelf. But WHAT could possibly be the excuse these days?

Is the rest of the GOP field REALLY so incredibly underwhelming that even Sarah Palin is a more reasonable alternative?

Or are they still smitten with her looks? Which judging from the picture above (The same one that was on this Politico article) also brings into question their eyesight, and possibly even their sexuality.

I keep imagining Palin sitting in her bed reading things like this and saying to herself, "Even I did not think they were this gullible? Think of how much more money I could have made?"
