Sarah and John

Vanity Fair magazine has a scathing profile of Sarah Palin that sounds eerily familiar.
Below are some of the articleâs characterizations of Palin. I ask you: What other well-known political figure does this sound like?
âErratic behavior and a pattern of lyingâ¦â
âSarah Palinâs connection with her audience is complete.â
ââ¦anywhere you peel back the skin of Sarah Palinâs life, a sad and moldering strangeness lies beneath.â
âWarm and effusive in public, indifferent or angry in private: this is the pattern of Palinâs behavior toward the people who make her life possible.â
Then there are the expensive additions to her home in Wasilla:
âA TV studio on her property, where contractors are now also finishing a 6,000-square-foot stone-clad château that will contain an airplane hangar for Toddâs Piper Cub, two private apartments, and an office for Sarah.â
Even more clothes spending in the 2008 campaign than was reported:
âFor Sarah, the campaign bought about 30 pairs of shoes, roughly $3,000 worth of underwear (including many Spanx girdles), a pair of Bose headphones costing more than $300, and even her incidentals and toiletries.â
This insight into her character:
âAlmost any small-town person who makes it big has some slight edge of ruthlessness, or an above-average ability to cut and run.â
Then there is how she lost interest in her job as Governor â and quit. Reported tensions with her husband. And the feelings among the McCain campaign that she was looking out more for herself than her running mate in 2008.
To me, it sounds like a female John Edwards. You can only wonder whether her eventual fall will be more spectacular than his.
