Dear Ms Palin,
You do not know me because I don't even live in the US, but I have been following your political career with great interest since you were announced as John McCain's running mate, at to be quite honest, I didn't like you. While the 'bridge to nowhere debacle sorta started it for me, I think the: "I can see Russia from my bedroom window.", clinched it for me and raised some serious concerns, not so much with you selling secrets that help keep the World a safer place, but more that Polar bear citizens of Alaska... the US, may have ended up working for peanuts in some Russian circus in exchange for constant supplies of vodka or something.
Anyway, you didn't make it to VP and I'm glad... but please, I do mean that in the sincerest of ways. Now that you're not in the VP limelight, you're less likely to be the butt of all political jokes... well not so often if you keep your head down for a while and put off opening that fast food chain with John, McPalin's, I think you were going to call it, for a year or two, or at least until the dust settles, if you know what I mean.... like people trying to order lipstick on a pig burgers, or yellow snow slushees.
I must also admit that I deeply resented the fact that you could spend $200, 000 plus on clothes since I couldn't even afford a second-hand strait jacket that I happened to find in an opp shop that would fit me, but now is all forgiven and I wish you all the besy in your post-election life. Some benevolent soul recognised my lunacy and donated me an almost brand new strait jacket that fits perfectly, so now I have no reason for sour grapes any more. Like you, however, and how you can hang most of those clothes away in the closet for months,years at a time, I do not need to wear my new strait jacket all the time, either, and thus I am able at this time to write you this letter of commissuration on your election loss. I mean, yeah, I'm as pleased as hell that Joe biden is there instead, but commissurations are still in order because now I have less tongue in cheek crap to post in these here forums at your expense.
Oh well, you win some you lose some, but seriously, Sarah, all jokes aside, all the best to you and thanks for the laughs and memorable moments you provided us..
