My Post-Super Bowl Fatwa, Sarah and Mahmoud in Argentina……….
Watched about four minutes of Sarah Palin’s valuable ($ 100,000) speech to the Teabagger Party lynching party. The all white faces, having paid $550 a pop, looked enraptured. I did not see any signs of buyers’ remorse, at $550 a pop. But then again, if you pay $550 for a mediocre dinner and a lousy speech, you can afford it in the higher national interest of keeping the Bush tax cuts in place and perhaps saving yourself a hundred thousand or even a million dollars of taxes.
I also watched Ahmadinejad with a small videocam glued to his face, but no sign of any part of John Edward’s anatomy. He was talking nuclear, she was talking discarding the old US constitution in favor of tea bags (most of them probably don't drink tea).
That was when my new fatwa, for post Super Bowl activation, took shape: the two of them should elope, just get off the television screens and newspaper headlines. Just go away, to Antartica, the Himalayas (get a good Sherpa or take John McCain), or go hiking up the Appalachian Trail down in Argentina. Or anywhere far far away. Together.
Cheers
