In reply to Sarah Palin & Jack Donaghy in 2012 - The perfect pretend Conservatives for a pretend GOP

I like your line of reasoning, Wolfman. But given how detached from reality the Republicans have become, I don't think you've explored all the possibilities.

Think outside the box. I mean the box where you check off your presidential preference. Who's to say we can trust federal election officials to report accurately who really won? These are people, after all, who believe Obama was born in Hawaii.

Given the law of averages, there's just as much chance that the Republican ticket will have won. To be on the safe side, why not just pretend it did. Sort of like "Dewey beats Truman" -- but without any weasely retraction the next day.

Fox, the Wall Street Journal, Drudge and most radio pundits will go along. The rest of the mainstream media will report the "controversy" as a case of "he won/she won." The GOP simply needs to take the case to the courts, and string it out a la Norm Coleman. They'll lose initially, of course -- damn activist judges! -- but the Supreme Court is their ace in the hole (I think there's a precedent somewhere).

The new Palin-Donaghy administration could then pretend to solve the economic crisis the Obama team created, pretend to end with honor -- no, with crushing victories! -- all the pointless wars Obama started, and pretend to dismantle the Big Brother apparatus Obama (abetted by his Acorn cronies) imposed. Plus unmarry all those gay couples and give everyone back the guns Obama snatched from their cold dead hands. And everyone can pretend to live in the freest, bestest country on Earth once again.

The best part: we all get a pony! (Just one pony, so everyone has to wait their turn.)
