There are many times when we, as Hillary Clinton supporters, can speak directly to Sarah Palin supporters, as people who have been there, done that, and have the scars and experiential knowledge to prove it.  Today is one of those days, as the MSM and Left attack the Governor for her planned travelogue/documentary series featuring the Palin family traveling across Alaska, showcasing its wonders and teaching America about our last frontier and the great energy riches inherent there.

As usual, the MSM, DNC, and RNC elite conspire to breed Eeyores amongst the caribou and arctic foxes of Team Sarah.  Eeyores, for the uninitiated, are sad-sack, pessimistic, fat little rainclouds moaning DOOOOOM!  DOOOOOM! DOOOOM! because the MSM spins something Palin does in a negative way…and Eeyores foolishly fall for it.  Each and every time.

We, as Clinton supporters, dealt with this for the better part of a year, as the MSM constantly told Clinton “to shut up and quit” and bred Eeyores to moan and bray that there was “no way Hillary will win Massachusetts!” or “not a chance she’ll take Ohio!” and that “we’re DOOMED! DOOMED! DOOOOOOOOOMED! in Pennsylvania!”.  Eeyores?  More like jackasses, because we won every one of those states.  The MSM and DNC knew Clinton would win too.  That’s why so much effort was made to demoralize her supporters and make them second guess their commitment to Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, a woman we personally will always go to the very gates of Hell and back for.

One of the women we’d do that for…the other being Sarah Heath Palin.

Today, as many in Team Sarah doubt the benefit of Palin filming a TV project with Mark Burnet, we’re reminded of one of the most frustrating and asinine Eeyore-isms here in Hillaryland, which went on and on and on ad nauseum from December 2008 through, well, this day for some trolls.  ”She should have stayed in the Senate!  She’s marginalized! She should have never taken the State Department job!  Eeeeeee-yoooooor, eeeeee-yooooor, eeeee-yoooooor!  Waaaaaaaah!”.

Hillary Clinton made a brilliant tactical move in leaving the Senate.  It was genius for the following five reasons:

(1) Clinton was able to make the 17 million or so Democrat voters who picked Dr. Utopia and his Hope and Change parlor show over her in the primaries completely forget there was ever any animosity between her and their Lightbringer, while maintaining her own army of 18 million loyal Hillary voters.  In the Senate, she would have been a defeated adversary.  At the State Department, she took on a new role as Secretary of State that showed Dr. Utopia’s voters “what a team player she was”, making it impossible for “The One” to ever say a bad word about her again.

(2) Clinton was never going to get a major committee to chair in the Senate, because of seniority rules, so being in the Senate offered her no new experiences for any future plans she has.  Moving to State bolstered her foreign policy credentials.  If she runs for office again, it will not be as a former First Lady and Senator, but as a former Secretary of State who was a Senator before that, and a First Lady many, many years ago.

(3) Hillary Clinton did not have to vote on any of the crazy, demented, unconstitutional, and reckless nonsense the Left has forced through the Senate since January 2009.  She, thus, got out of Dodge before the whole place went nuts and the Kool-Aid Crazies took over.  The woman who was hamstrung by her Iraq vote in 2002 did not want to chalk up any more votes that would haunt her in the future…such as the vote on the Porkulus Wasteful Spending Bill, the Cap & Tax measures that were proposed, and this abomination of  Healthcare Rationing bill.  Traveling the world wherever she wants to go, Hillary Clinton doesn’t have to touch any of this madness with a ten thousand foot pole.

(4) Regarding Healthcare, the woman who was tarred and feathered for “HillaryCare” in the 90s has now watched Dr. Utopia make everyone forget her mismanagement of that policy process twenty years ago, because the bumbling and undemocratic hubris the administration is showing with this Rationing bill has eclipsed the mistakes Clinton made so long ago.  She has absolutely nothing to do with this disaster.  Nothing.  None of this is her fault.  It’s so bad, in fact, that people look back fondly on “HillaryCare” and wish we could all have that back on the table again today.

(5) Lastly, Clinton, at State, is out of politics for the time being. She, thus, does not have to travel the country campaigning to save all the many, many Leftists who will be obliterated in the November elections…many of whom are people who backstabbed her and pushed her out of the way so that Dr. Utopia could declare himself a “Lightbringer” and usurp her.  In Tel Aviv or London or Moscow or Paris or Beijing, Clinton gets to sit back and watch all of these fools and idiots implode as voters take back the Republic from these radical Marxists this fall.  She does not have to help them.  She is, in fact, by nature of her job, precluded from doing anything to save them.  ”Can’t interfere in politics, I’m Secretary of State now,” she gets to say.  ”Save yourself, Chuck Schumer.  Better yet, let Obama save you, since you wanted him to be president instead of me”.  You know that “cackle” Dr. Utopia’s followers accuse Hillary Clinton of having?  Well, insert said golden laughter here.

So, contrary to what so many Eeyores have repeatedly said about leaving the Senate being “a terrible move” for Hillary Clinton, we’ve consistently maintained, since Day One, that it was strategic genius of her to switch gears like this, and get out of the way of the runaway train she saw coming.

Similarly, we believe Sarah Palin is making perhaps the smartest, most brilliant, tactical move of 21st Century politics in pursuing the travelogue/adventure/exploration of Alaska series with Mark Burnet.  Here’s why:

(1) Sarah Palin will no doubt have complete control over how she is portrayed on the Burnet show.  She would never agree to such an undertaking if this was not true.  That would be ludicrous.  So every episode of the show will be what Sarah Palin wants America to see about Alaska, and Sarah Palin too.  She will control the narrative.  She will take viewers to places that have special meaning to her, and that showcase her many strengths and talents.  Every episode will be a campaign commercial without most Americans realizing it.  The grandeur of Alaska will unfold before their eyes, with Sarah Palin as their guide.  An emotional connection will form with her, the way those connections form between viewers and the people on Amazing Race or Survivor.  At home in Cleveland or Helena or Newark, people will see “their friend Sarah” out and about in exotic far-flung places, and they will share whatever adventures unfold with her.  They will get to know Alaska through her, and get to know her through Alaska…and the miracle of television.

(2) Palin knows Katie Couric and Tina Fey did damage to her name and image in 2008.  To this day, low-information Liberals parrot things they heard Fey, in particular say, attributing them to Palin.  We remember clearly in the closing days of the presidential campaign Fey appearing on Conan O’Brien or some other show claiming she “couldn’t wait to never do the Palin character again”.  In fact, she SWORE up and down she was just doing her Palin impersonation one or two times, then never again.  Well, here we are in 2010, and apparently Fey’s so desperate for attention she’s going back to her old stomping ground at SNL to do the Palin impression some more…because Palin is more popular and famous worldwide than Fey will ever be.  That’s really sad, actually, because it feels like someone in her 40s going back to grade school, sitting down in one of those teensy desks, getting out some safety scissors and playing sixth-grader again.  If Sarah Palin is not a very big deal, when why is Tina Fey, “star” of her own TV show, going back to her old ensemble show to portray the woman she claimed she’d never portray again?  Makes no sense…unless Palin remains a great and serious threat to the Left, and the MSM, DNC, and others need Fey to keep pumping out apocryphal nonsense low-information Liberals can then parrot back about Palin.  The way the Governor counters this is by filling the airwaves with her own images, her own impressions for the public to latch onto.  The more content Palin puts out there showing her in the best light, the harder it is for Tina Fey to invent nonsense.  We’d address Katie Couric here, but why bother? Couric’s being fired by CBS because of her dismal, unprofessional performance.  Apparently, she’s being replaced by the end of the year by Anderson Cooper from CNN.  So, Couric, indeed is irrelevant.  When Palin continues to hold more public fascination than ‘the perky one’ could ever imagine.

(3) The quickest way for Palin to end the attacks on her children by the likes of David Letterman and other Leftist agents is to show America how great the Palin family is.  Heroic Track is off in the Army serving his country and fighting hard in Afghanistan, so we don’t think he’d be part of the show, but Bristol certainly has shown immense strength and maturity beyond her years in recent months, so we bet she will be on the series helping Palin teach Americans about Alaska.  After reading Going Rogue, we’re certain spirited Piper will be right there at her mom’s side, since Piper’s been Palin’s sidekick since she was born.  Willow, who is apparently very smart and interested in history, would be an excellent guide on this series, and with Bristol would probably help take care of little Trig, who no doubt will quickly become America’s sweetheart.  We love that little guy, so we can’t wait to see him each week somewhere in Alaska with his family, exploring, learning, growing, and teaching Americans just how much a special needs little guy can do…and how much he can quickly come to mean to ALL of us.  Throw in stone cold fox Todd Palin, and you’re guaranteed even guys here in Boystown would want to watch.  It’s already going to be must-see TV in every female household in America, but despite the irrational hatred of Republicans here in Boystown, we bet even a good portion of our peers will be TIVO-ing to see what manly adventures the future First Dude gets up to each week.

(4) With Palin on TV all the time, it will essentially be like having free campaign commercials playing a year before the Iowa Caucus, when her boring, milquetoast, cucumber and mayonnaise on soggy Wonder Bread primary rivals like Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, John Thune, and Casper the Friendly Ghost all fade into the background, like xeroxes of mimeographs of tissue paper bathroom caulk color samples. Meanwhile, Palin gets to establish branding using all that Alaskan wilderness, all of those Alaskan animals, and all of that adventure, which more often than not will lead her to oil exploration areas, to places where Alaskans have struck out and created new business, and to wherever she thinks her policy points on national security, job development, and strengthening America can best be illustrated in her native state. She will combine policy with adventure in a way the American people will eat up.  Just like watching Amazing Race, viewers will LEARN something while being entertained and traveling to distance lands vicariously through the characters on TV they watch…but this time the characters on TV will be living in the White House in 2013.

(5) Palin, as the GOP nominee in 2012, will need to defeat the world’s biggest celebrity, a man who has the entire MSM at his disposal, working as his Ministry of Propaganda and carrying out orders from the DNC itself.  She’ll also have to face the RNC elite, which does not want to run a woman for president, and instead wants to send one of the Caspers up to bat: Pawlenty, Romney, Thune, Mitch Daniels, John Huntsman, or people even worse as national candidates like Charlie Crist, Bobby Jindal, or Haley Barbour.  So, for Palin to defeat first the RNC and then Dr. Utopia and his Maddening Media Machine, Palin must become a bigger celebrity and media force than anything her detractors and opponents can muster. A hit TV series in which she travels with her family, showcases Alaska, and teaches Americans her policy points while letting them get to know her and her family better might not be the only way to achieve that…but it sure will work.  You betcha!

So, Palin supporters defaulting to Eeyore mode and thinking this is a bad move for Palin, please listen to guys who have been going to bat for Hillary Clinton since one of us first wrote a freshman essay on her for speech class back in high school in 1990.  We’ve seen everything possible thrown at Clinton.  We know exactly what the MSM and DNC did to her in 2008.  We know exactly why she left the Senate and went to the State Department.  While we don’t know when she’ll run for President again, we know that she will do so.

We know Sarah Palin is running for President in 2012.  We know this show is part of her strategy for winning.

We think it is a brilliant tactical move.

Should, for whatever reason, the Palin Family Adventure Show find its way taping an episode in Chicagoland, we volunteer ourselves as Palin’s Boystown guides, and hope to watch every episode when it airs in 2011…at which time we hope to be coordinating ground efforts for Palin as she prepares to become the first woman to win the Republican primary in Iowa in early 2012.

This is a brilliant, brilliant move on the Governor’s part, people.  If you support her and believe in her, you have to learn to trust her…and shut down those Eeyores before they drag down her campaign before it can even launch.

UPDATE:  Entertainment Weekly has more on the Palin-Burnet TV project over at EW.com.

A few things are interesting about this.  Right off the bat, for whatever reason, vile pig Ken Tucker didn’t write up his thoughts on this TV deal for Palin. Perhaps his hooves were too muddy to slam against the keyboard, so they had Lynette Rice write the piece, who is much fairer to Palin (and everyone else who is not a crazed Leftist, which are the only people Tucker supports). Why Tucker didn’t write this blurb on a TV development is beyond us, since he takes every opportunity he can to bash Palin.  Maybe the editor decided his particular brand of bacon-scented swinery was not called for this time…because the Palin-Burnet show is going to be a big deal.

In the EW article, more details come out about whom Palin is meeting with in Hollywood: it’s all broadcast networks.  That appearance on Leno seemed timed to coincide with her meeting with NBC…staggered a few days later so that Nielsens could come in and show what a draw Palin would be.  Very smart move for the ‘Cuda.

We like the “Commander in Chief” joke one executive told when asked what Palin was doing at the networks.  He said she was doing a sequel to the Geena Davis show from a few years ago, which we LOVED, about the first female US President.

We believe the 45th President will be a woman, and she will take office in 2013.  That woman will either be Hillary Clinton or Sarah Palin, depending on whether or not Dr. Utopia does not run for a second term, in which case Clinton will be the president…or if he decides on foolishly trying to Hopey-change his way through another election, the Palins will move into the White House in January 2013.

A WOMAN WILL BE PRESIDENT…and she will kick ass and take names, and have one Hell of a time trying to clean up the mess the Utopias made of this country (and more likely than not, the way they throw parties with reckless abandon, the White House itself).
