The Wardman Wire

A fantastic spot from Bishop Alan Wilson on the Sarah Palin puff-tape:

Listening to the soundtrack (click below if you don’t believe me), I realised it came from the 70’s TV series Dallas!

How did all the politicos miss that? (Perhaps they didn’t and I missed them not missing it). Anyway, here you go:

The first 28 words of the script:

Mother, Moosehunter, Maverick

Mayor, Governor, Maverick

The original maverick made an astoot choice when he asked Governor Sarah Palin to join him in his effort to remake Washington.

The background music moves from remixed “No place like home” to remixed “Dallas theme tune”, with a sense of Grizzly Adams meets the Brady Bunch.

Bishop Alan’s comment:

Like most Brits, I had never heard of Sarah Palin before last week. Attempting to discover who she is (apart from a hook for disillusioned Hillary-niks), I watched her Republican Convention bio, and learned:

She loves Alaska, loves America, loves her family; she loves integrity, frugality, and Moose Stew.

We can all endorse that, except the Moose perhaps. I also learned, on no fewer than 12 occasions in four minutes that she (like her new boss) is a “maverick” which I gather is ‘someone who doesn’t believe the rules that apply to everyone else should apply to them’. Then, listening to the soundtrack (click below if you don’t believe me), I realised it came from the 70’s TV series Dallas! It made me wonder whether Sarah does dynastic selfishness, obsolete energy policy, Teapot Dome ethics, greed ’n corruption… ?

Personally, I think that Mooseburger sounds delicious. Horse and kangeroo are certainly excellent, and it would be even better if each Moose took out a PETA campaigner trying to protect it before it was transformed into my lunch.

Back to Sarah Palin - the next question is whether she is perhaps related to Michael Palin, but you’ll have to visit Bishop Alan’s Blog to read that bit.
