Ramblings of a Constipated Mind

So, an interesting idea was brought to my attention today.

Isn't Sarah Palin really just Laura Roslin from Battlestar Galactica? I mean, Laura Roslin didn't have much political experience. But she was thrown into leadership after the Cylons wiped out the human race, and though it's been a bumpy ride, overall she's done a great job! Who's to say Palin can't do that?

The answer: No one. Except of course that Laura Roslin is a fictional character, and if anything like Battlestar Galactica happened in real life, the human race probably wouldn't last 5 minutes in her hands.

However, I will say that that's probably the best argument for Palin being qualified that I've heard yet. The McCain campaign needs to jump on it, and use it to win over sci-fi geeks. Just take a clip of Battlestar Galactica and replace Roslin with Palin. Then run it as a campaign ad: "Sarah Palin, savior of humanity."
