So much alike.

It occurred to me today that one of the reasons America's Republican nut jobs were so quick to give their hearts to Sarah Palin is because she was almost like the reincarnation of another of their admired  shrews decades earlier: Anita Bryant. Sarah's mostly senior teabagger fans will remember that Anita Bryant was a popular singer and orange juice pusher in the 60s and 70s. She later became more famous for her very vocal opposition to homosexuality, which damaged her career in show business. Like Sarah, she was a former beauty queen whose warped religious hypocrisy and nasty arrogance eroded her success and caused her to become a forgotten nobody. Sadly Anita is still alive and filled with as much hate as ever.
