Lynnrockets’ Blast-Off

Sarah, we hardly knew ye. Wouldn’t you know, we go on vacation and Sarah Palin quits. If we had known that that is all it took, we would have taken a trip last September.

Palin’s abrupt resignation as Alaska’s governor last Friday was certainly welcome, but it also causes some concern here at Lynnrocket’s Blast-Off. As you know, this blog dedicates itself to lambasting all things Republican. We have a lot of fun pointing out the numerous inane actions and statements of the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Man Coulter, Mark Sanford (and Son) and Bobby Jindal(bells), but Sarah Palin is without peer when it comes to supplying hilariously ridiculous material.

The following is just a short list of funny Palin utterances:

- “Thanks, but no thanks”

- “I’ll have to get back to ya on that, Katie”

- “Drill baby, drill”

- “Pallin’ around with terrorists”

- “Ya betcha”

- “All of em, any of em that are put in front of me”

- “Putin rearin’ his head over Alaska”

- “The job of the Vice President is to get down in there in the Senate and make good policy”

- “I’m not a quitter, I’m a fighter”

- “The libral media”, and our favorite…

- “Mavericky”

We hope and pray that she stays in the national spotlight for a while longer. The best scenario would be for her to run for President in 2012. Can you imagine the gems she will come up with while running her own campaign? Imagine the hilarity as she debates relatively intelligent Republican primary candidates and is forced to appear on serious television programs such as Meet The Press or Face The Nation.

Stay tuned.

Today’s song parody is a nostalgic look back at those Palin days.

THOSE PALIN DAYS

(sung to the Mary Hopkins song “Those Were The Days”)

Once upon a time back in Alaska
Sarah Palin gave an interview
She quit her day job and transferred her powers
She’s hoping to earn a spot on “The View”

Those Palin days my friend
We thought they’d never end
She’d sing and dance to earn per diem pay
She’d appear on the news
Give bumbling interviews
She was so stung and punked by Tina Fey

La La La La La La
La La La La La La
La La La La
La La La La La La

We’d scream in unison “oh, God, please why us”
Please wave your hand and make her go away
If you don’t believe us then just try us
We’d be so glad we’d call a holiday

Those Palin days my friend
We thought they’d never end
Dumb and confused forever and a day
Her Naughty Monkey shoes
She never had a clue
God help you if you’re female, black or gay

La La La La La La
La La La La La La
La La La La
La La La La La La

Two years left before the next election
Not the darling of the G.O.P.
There would be no Palin resurrection
Exit the Wasilla Hillbillies

Those Palin days my friend
Have come to a dead end
Her future now is stormy and it’s grey
There’s no more “Caribou”
Or wolf and moose head stew
Her song’s been sung now let’s just celebrate

La La La La La La
La La La La La La
La La La La
La La La La La La

Her resignation brought us all to laughter
She leaves her office under cloud of shame
Alaska will be better hereinafter
She belongs in the Moron Hall of fame

Those Palin days my friend
Thank God they’re at an end
We’ll sing and dance forever and a day
Sarah can sing the blues
Todd can go back to booze
Those Palin days, oh yes, those Palin days
