Sarah Palin felt it necessary to weigh
in on the situation in Egypt this week,
and we at the Clarion couldn't be more
excited.
Palin criticized Obama for not answering
a 3 a.m. phone call that exists only in
her imagination. She continued saying
that the administration knows more
than they're telling the public about the
situation in Egypt.
If Obama can fake a birth certificate,
why can't Sarah Palin? If she doesn't
get the 2012 bid for President of the US,
Sarah Palin is the obvious candidate for
Tea-Partying leader of Egypt. She can't
wait to become Pharaoh Palin.
For voicing her opinion to a country that
cares even less about it than the one she
calls her own, Sarah Palin is this week's
American Hero.
