BROWNSVILLE, TX - Sarah Palin arrived at a gathering of the Southern Republican Leadership Conference gathering in New Orleans this morning wanting to offer yet another sarcastic speech aimed at President Barack Obama's administration. As expected, she quickly chided him for a comment he'd made yesterday referring to her lack of expertise in commenting on the recent USA-Russia anti-nuclear agreement.
So there was Sarah throating her stupidities when the president strolled out of the White House to address the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Stevens and the mine tragedy in West Virginia. Before you could spell Wasilla, all network and cable TV stations had abandoned Palin and turned their cameras on the president. Who knows what other inanity Palin delivered to her All-White group of segregationists. Even Fox News pulled way when Obama began to speak.
It was, in one fell swoop, a beautiful comeuppance on a woman whose brain cannot help but know it is inside an astonishingly hollow broad. It is, of course. Palin lives in a parallel world, one where the ridiculous is central to breathing. Her ability to baffle is uncanny. Palin belongs on Comedy Central, yet she will do at present for a Republican Party so lost in the forest that even The Three Bears can only shake their heads in wonderment.
Which brings us to this: The Cameron County race for Precinct 2 Commissioner pitting the college-challenged Ernie Hernandez against the lawyer Ruben Pena deserves closer scrutiny, and not because we wish to know more about them, but because someone surely should be asking the question: Is this the best we can do? Hernandez is living way-over-his head. His best contribution to Brownsville would best come from a prompt, very public decision to withdraw and live out his life as, say, a trustworthy school-crossing guard.
Pena's drawback comes from his being an attorney. Lord knows, enough lawyers have postured themselves as saviors of this God-abandoned county. Say no to lawyers, and say it for the next three generations. They have done zero for the city, or for the county. Indeed, public service has been good to them.
We reach when we say Hernandez has the brains of Sarah Palin, but a case could be made for that. Lawyer Pena would likely say he could take that to a jury and win a conviction...

The voice of Fox news, a real dumb bunny.
Tina Fey, or whatever her name is, was on Saturday night live immitating Palin, Sara Palin is just a joke. Not a very funny one either.
Palin is the last of a species said to be born with diseased brains. Those pitiful mutants are said to be living in the outhouse known as Alaska. There is probably only one thing she is good for.
Anon: You may be right on that last point. Palin seems to be one of those manufactured media stars - like The Monkees... - Editor
