Simple Sarah's Potion No. 9

Oh c'mon Sarah Palin peeps, you're making this way too easy. The ex-half-term governor is “on the verge of making her decision of whether or not to run for office,” read the breathless letter from SarahPAC treasurer Tim Crawford to supporters/groupies. And to show your undying love, send money. Or to quote the letter directly, “Send your best, one-time gift to SarahPAC today. So lemme get this straight. Ms. Palin is absolutely, positively teetering on the verge of thinking about possibly running for president, maybe. While the free world awaits with bated breath for a decision that she may or may not make for a presidential bid that she may or may not pursue, she wants your money to help her think about thinking about it. Got all that? Also, there's a sale at Marcus Neiman at the mall and mamma needs a new pair of shoes. But that's merely a detail. Presumably this shtick is aimed at gullible Palin fans who'll drink anything served at the fountain of their Wasilla Goddess. Evidently, this week's special is Simple Sarah's Potion No. 9. It'll cure all that ails ya, friends, you bet'cha. I have to hand it to SarahPAC though. The sheer boldness of this ploy would make even an old-time snake oil salesman blush.
