Palin Mania

In this political psychodrama,
she’s a pistol-packin’ hockey mama
who’s known for shaking up the status quo--
a perfect counterpoint to Obama.

From Alaska to the streets of SoHo,
swift torrents of gossip suddenly flow
without the benefit of due restraint,
creating an onerous imbroglio.

She is either the devil or a saint
emblazoned with lipstick, powder and paint,
depending upon which bloggers you read
in futile attempts to better acquaint.

Among her party, there’s a real stampede
to render aid that will help her succeed
in this pioneering panorama
of huge historic proportions indeed.
