Sarah Palin- Republican Icon of the American
I have not heard any of my friends or family comment on Sarah Palin's new reality show on the Discovery Channel. I have seen brief portions and commend it to you. And, I think I know why Karl Rove dreamed this up for her.
I believe that Karl Rove and his cabal do not want Ms. Palin as a political candidate. They know they really made a mistake on several levels back in 2008. The biggest mistake was to shatter the unity of the Republican Party by giving a voice to a populist, reactionary group that became the Tea Party. Despite regaining majority status in the House, the Republican Party leadership knows it will have its work cut out to control the Tea Party members. The Democrats have the same though lesser problem. Another mistake was to think that Sarah Palin was astute enough to be a national level politician. Never gonna happen, so can she still be of use?
The assignment given to Republican strategists is to reconstitute the Party as it was in the 1950s. I think the Discovery Channel program, Sarah's reality show, is an effort to turn her obvious public celebrity presence into a living symbol of basic American, middle class values. An icon of the ordinary American and American family. The question is: will she take the role?
