Dramatis Personae
Elder 1, political fundraiser
Elder 2, lobbyist
Sarah Palin, sancta simplicitas
ELDER 1: Sarah, we’re very disappointed in you.
PALIN: Why?
ELDER 2: You endorsed [1] Rand Paul. Don’t you realize he’s against the War on Terror?
PALIN: But he’s so cute.
ELDER 2: Sarah, you need to understand this: you can’t become president without the support of the military-industrial complex.
PALIN: Is that like vitamin B complex? Because it just does wonders for my hair, don’t you think?
ELDER 1: Why don’t we switch to economics.
PALIN: Oh, I took that way back in junior high. They taught us how to bake a cake.
ELDER 2: That’s home economics.
ELDER 1: We’ve told you over and over that you need to study public policy.
PALIN: I was gonna do it last night, but then American Idol came on. Did you guys see it? Simon was so mean.
ELDER 1: I give up!
ELDER 2: Me, too!
(The elders storm out; Palin dials a number on her BlackBerry.)
PALIN: Hi, Todd. . . . The meeting went very well. Everything’s working to plan. Hey, I need the latest M2 numbers. And make sure you run them through the regression model I developed last night.
