You won't like the president when he's angry.

If you thought whacky "lovable" sidekicks were only fodder for 80's sitcoms, think again. Sarah Palin is winking her folksy way right to the top of the cheesy sidekicks list — one "yoobetcha" at a time. So how does Sarah stack up to cheesy sidekicks of the past? Let's take a look.

Sarah "Moose Mom" Palin

Sitcom:
The U.S. Government

Role:
Possible second in command of the United States of America &
"Weapon of Mass Distraction" for John McCain.

Fast Fact:
This beauty pageant runner-up, and everyday hockey mom from Alaska, had her world turned upside down after receiving an unexpected call from John McCain asking her to be his running mate (and soulmate). Sarah accepted, quickly packing up the dog sled and heading to mainland America. 

Why does this all sound eerily similar to the plot of The Beverly Hillbillies?

As the presidential election creeps closer and closer I can't help but HOPE that Barack Hussein Obama get elected president of the United States.

Not so much because of what he stands for, but mainly because when something bad goes down in the world everyone could say:
"Save The Drama For Obama"...and I think that's reason enough.
