Sarah is salivating for a brokered GOP convention

(as usual she wants something (the GOP nomination) without having to work for it):

Former Republican Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said Wednesday that a brokered Republican presidential convention was a possibility and that if it happened she “would do whatever I could to help.”

“If one of the nominees, one of the GOPers, doesn’t get enough delegates, it could go to a brokered convention,” said Fox Business Network’s Eric Bolling in an interview. “If it does get to that, and someone said, ‘Governor, would you be interested,’ would you be interested?”

“For one, I think that it could get to that. … If it had to be closed up today, the whole nominating process, then we could be looking at a brokered convention. … Nobody is quite there yet, so I think that months from now, if that is the case, all bets are off as to who it will be, willing to offer up themselves up in their name in service to their country.”

“I would do whatever I could to help,” she added, her voice rising.

They k ow he couldn't get thought the toxic Klown Kar Krash that the GOP primary has become.
Their only hope is to let the Tea Bag cand'tdidates self destruct in the primaries and then
get the dough boy to save them in the fall.

I would take a week vacation just so I could watch the fun. If it looked liked it might get historic, with the Earl Greys doing their version of '68, I would crash at a friend's house near the Bay so I could smell the tear gas (that's a metaphor).

Flailing around with her hand in the air after the teacher asks a question.

"Oh! OH! Me! Me! I know! MeMeMe! Pick Me!!

Meanwhile, establishment Republicans are thinking "the best thing you can do to help is sit down and shut the fuck up. Thanks."
