In light of recent events, especially her response to the shooting in Arizona, many are claiming that Sarah Palin is dead…at least in terms of her aspirations towards national office. While we fervently hope that isn’t true, but on the off chance that it is, we wanted to be the first to offer a postmortem on the brief, explosive career of Alaska’s most famous MILF. Here are the highlights…

Sarah Palin almost winning a Beauty Pageant in 1984. Her advisors, in the first of many mistakes, forgot to tell her that calling Iraq, “the Iraq” is inadvisable.

This picture spread like wildfire during the ’08 election. It turned out later that this picture was photoshopped.

It turned out that this picture was not.

And this is the call from John McCain to Sarah Palin that started the whole thing. If only he had realized…

That she would become more famous than he’d ever dreamed of.

Here is Sarah Palin (with assistance from comedienne Sara Benincasa) responding to her new nomination as the GOP Vice-Presidential nominee.

And here is a photo from one of the many porn parodies released after Sarah’s VP nomination. A close resemblance, no doubt. In fact, the only way you can tell this porn star apart from Sarah Palin is that the porn star can name several periodicals she reads.

There is no doubt that this picture portrays the most hilarious woman of her generation. The other is Tina Fey.

Sarah Palin prays for the prosperity of the non-elites, but not for so much prosperity that they become elites. That would be communism. Wait…

If Palin and Obama both lose the 2012 election, the following season of Dancing with the Stars could be the first show to beat the ratings of American Idol since 2001. Let’s hope and pray that they cancel both shows before then. Or regardless.

Here is a website that concerned citizen Marcus Stuart Vannini created to bring awareness to Sarah’s potential 2012 Presidential campaign. Read and learn.

And finally, if Sarah Palin doesn’t run for President, the following is almost definitely what she’ll do. Let’s hope she runs after all. I just donated to Palin 2012. Have you?
