behind that smile a
very dangerous woman
stirring up trouble
not afraid to quit
too bad she ever started
Alaskans were duped
phony patriot
so full of contradictions
wave that flag some more
expensive wardrobe
somehow seems perfect for a
political whore
I hear an echo
hello!! anybody in there?
Sarah's empty head
the best thing she did
was provide beat poetry
for Shatner to read

ha! a politically debatable series....but i don't take to debates :)
your point of view is always interesting, Janet :)
"political whore" -- wonderful coinage...could use for many here :)

Excellent choice! After all, haiku is all about emptiness!?:)
BTW: Word Verifications says 'zeratica'. Erratic zero!?:)
hi Devika...I was invited to submit to a haiku contest about Sarah Palin and those were my entries. I think political whores are a global phenomena, and not gender specific.
Borut...
verifications...
do we need them to exist?
or just to comment?
good to know that Janet,
ofcourse I know it isn't a gender specific term, but then fingers are only pointed at women, atleast in India :)

Devika~ you raise the valid point that in politics, as in many other places, women are held to a different standard than men. It pains the feminist in me to criticize women leaders, but this one deserves it.
Okay, getting off the soapbox now and off to look for some pretty flowers;-)
And i know what you mean, Janet
so flowers are your interest...mine too :)

Hi Janet,
Your 8/9 haiku was uncharacteristically mean spirited.
Also, don't you mean Nancy instead of Sarah?
I hope you placed in the contest...
Outstanding observations as always.
Grrrr :-)
Slippery~ I stand by my lines. Don't know who Nancy would be.
Larry~ Thanks for stopping by. There were hundreds of contest entries- (many much more crude than mine, Slippery)- and it was a voting contest. My check for $20.12 never arrived...(sniff) No matter, it was fun.
