5 Year Old Sarah Palin Destroys Her Political Career

a satire

She wants to be president of the United States. She wants the American people to entrust her with a leadership position that requires good judgment and decision making skills. But she didn't have the political foresight to stop her parents from taking her siblings to Yukon in Canada for health care treatment in the 1960's. Sarah Palin was already 5 at the time, and despite missing a foreign policy question on a nursery school test, many still thought she had potential.

With socialized medicine looming on the horizon in Canada, Palin should have known that at some point down the road, the press would hammer her for not stepping in and making her parents wait for the ferry or plane.

"There was no road out of there at that time," said retired teacher Chuck Heath, reached by phone in Wasilla. "The ferry schedule was very erratic. We had no doctor in Skagway. The plane schedule was very erratic. The winds dictated whether the planes could come in or not."

Palin's father said his family probably boarded the train for the Whitehorse hospital only twice - once when a daughter had rheumatic fever, and once when his son, also named Chuck, severely burned his leg and an infection set in.

But Sarah never spoke up and stopped her parents from taking them to Whitehorse Hospital in Canada.

Hari Sevugan of The DNC tweeted "So, Palin had the benefit of nat'l HC in Canada..." Palin's people took him to task. But their response was seen as empty spin. "They're saying socialized medicine didn't kick in until 1972, but Sarah Palin should have seen it coming and realized this would not bode well for her 2012 presidential run anyway," an unnamed Democrat source said.

The unnamed Democrat also went on to say, "it was a nice try for Chuck Heath to say he paid for the treatments, but we all know he did it just to provide political cover for his daughter."

In a rush interview on the Sean Hannity show, when asked why she didn't object to her parents, Palin told Hannity "I didn't write 'beware of socialized medicine' on my hand the day my brother burnt his ankle." She also pointed out that "Meghan Stapleton was not my spokesperson at the time, either, so there were some organizational problems at that point of my political career."

Pundits now believe that any chance for a presidential run is over now that the media has broken "Canada-gate" wide open. This follows her "Van Palin" trashing of a boutique in Hollywood the day she appeared on the Jay Leno show.

"George Washington overcame the cherry tree incident," said an elitist Republican insider, "but I can't see Palin overcoming this." He pointed out that "it was not like Washington chopped down two cherry trees on two different ocassions."
