TO FAKE OR NOT TO FAKE?—That is the question.
TO FAKE OR NOT TO FAKE?—That is the question.
No, this is not a Carrie Bradshaw inspired entry—if only. Rather, it’s a 1% more conscious consideration of what Governor Sarah Palin didn’t do in her latest go-round with Katie Couric: FAKE IT.
When pressed by Couric about which “newspapers and magazines” the governor reads, the ever troubled Palin couldn’t even resort to what most 8th graders have now since perfected: providing a fake answer. This is a HUGE problem—don’t you think? Instead of rescuing herself once again from the precipice of mass embarrassment, dumb-dumb Sarah belly-flopped off the high-dive because she couldn’t name one source—who cares if she were to tell the truth? I mean, make up something—The Juneau Jump; lie your rimmed glass as@ off—The National Review; go porno—“The Penthouse Letters;” say something—The Wall Street Journal; Sarah, for heaven’s sake—F A K E IT: Newsweek.
In her dizzying gibberish, the best Sarah could offer was that she reads a “vast variety” of news sources. That silly Sarah couldn’t offer one title—just one—from this “vast variety” says a great deal; that she couldn’t or wouldn’t FAKE IT sadly says so much more.
