We may have the perfect trifecta of stupid if former Alaska governor Sarah Palin wins a congressional seat and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) keep theirs in the 2022 midterm elections. Palin is about as bright as Green and Boebert, and they all appear to be the same species, so there’s that.

But beyond that, there really isn’t much to recommend Palin. She’s currently saying that because she’s famous (read: infamous) it gives her a unique place in U.S. politics, basically giving her the upper hand in Washington stronger, per Joe.My.God. and Reuters.

That’s how her feverish little raisin-sized brain works. Unlike other neophyte lawmakers, Palin says she could “pick up the phone and call any reporter and be on any show if I wanted to, and it would be all about Alaska.”

Yeah, well, Alaskans don’t seem to want that. The op-ed pages of Alaska’s largest newspaper are sprinkled with letters to the editor urging other Alaskans to reject her running. And Palin, 58, has lots of competition. There are 48 candidates running for the state’s lone congressional seat after Republican Rep. Don Young passed away last month.

In her interview with the Associated Press, Palin insisted her commitment to Alaska hasn’t wavered and suggested that those who say otherwise “don’t know me.”

Well, maybe not. But with such a hotly contested seat she’s going to have to do more than just smile for the camera.

“I love to work, and anyone who is around me, they know,” she said. “What I’m doing is apply for a job, for Alaskans, saying: ‘Hey, you guys would be my boss. Do you want to hire me? Because if you do, I’ll do a good job for you, and I won’t back down.”

But that “job” she’s “applying for” entails navigating a rapid series of elections — beginning with a June 11 special primary, which is a statewide mail-in election. The four candidates with the most votes will advance to another special election to be held on August 16. In this instance, ranked-choice voting will be used. Whoever wins will serve out the rest of Young’s term, which ends in January.

But wait—there’s more. There’s another primary in August and of course, the November midterm elections to get through and that will determine who serves out a two-year term beginning in January. In this instance, Palin is up against 16 other candidates who have filed for the regular primary.

So what this really means is Palin is going to have to do more than talk. And that is sure to turn off any Alaskans with a brain in their heads. I hope so because I sure hate to contemplate a Congress with Boebert, Greene, and Palin in it. She recently said she was “shoveling moose poop” in her father’s yard.

That’s where she belongs and I hope it’s where she stays.
