Sing along, boys and girls, to the tune of the “Beverly Hillbillies” theme song:
Come and listen to a story
‘bout a woman named Palin.
At private-sector jobs
she was always a-failin’,
Then one day
she got into the politics game,
And up through the web
came a bubblin’ fame.
Celebrity that is, money for nothin’, Tea Party!
Well, the first thing you know
ol’ Palin’s a millionaire,
Alaska voters said, “Palin move away from there,”
Said, “The screen’s where you oughtta be.”
So they gassed up the snowmachine and moved onto TV.
Reality that is: Bristol’s Bayou, pay-per-view, cage match …Yes, for those of you who were out hunting and missed it, the 49th state’s favorite, half-term, ex-governor and her clan are home for a spell and back at it again. This time it’s a made-for-the-internet brawl in Oceanview, an upper middle-class Anchorage neighborhood.
