Sarah Palin MLA?

Mark Devenport | 12:40 UK time, Thursday, 4 September 2008

The more I read about John McCain's running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the more familiar she sounds. The failed previous Democrat Candidate John Kerry criticised her as "somebody who doesn't believe climate change is man-made". Then, after her speech to the Republican convention, the Guardian noted that "her forte is the sardonic one liner." I began to wonder when I had last spotted Sammy Wilson. Could our Environment Minister be across the Atlantic, moonlighting in drag?

Then I read about her Christian, anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage views. Well, Iris Robinson obviously came to mind, and you can see the likeness.

But finally we have to factor in her polar bear hating, moose hunting stance which extends to enthusiasm for shooting wolves from aircraft. Has Jim Shannon ever tried that? If not, I bet he'd like to have a go.

Should the McCain team fail to overcome Obama in November, Mrs Palin should not despair. Surely there would be a place for her on the benches at Stormont.
