"How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Paree?" the old song would ask.
Today's version might inquire, "How you gonna keep her up in AK after she's seen DC?"
The Wasilla beauty queen was lucky enough to get a taste of what it's like to be on the world stage, and now, apparently, Alaska just isn't good enough anymore.
Palin's resignation last Friday has the pundits' imaginations working overtime. Some have called it political suicide. Others have chalked it up to calculated genius.
In any case, one thing is clear: The woman is ambitious. So much so that she scares me.
Because, if she happens to achieve what might be her next goal -- the White House -- will she quickly become bored with that, too?
And, if that should happen, will we see an imperialistic administration that will make Bush-Cheney look timid by comparison?
Let's hope that we don't have to find out.
