Is she baaack?

The other day I said that the reason Mike Huckabee and Donald Trump had decided not to run for president was that they lacked the fire in the belly.

Today RCP quotes Sarah Palin saying:

I think my problem is that I do have that fire in my belly. I am so adamantly supportive of the good traditional things about America and our free enterprise system and I want to make sure that America is put back on the right track and we only do that by defeating Obama in 2012. I have that fire in my belly.

Sarah, PLEASE get rid of that fire—which you yourself, in a Freudian slip, call a “problem.” Have an iced drink. Go for a nice cool trek on the North Slope. I’m not saying that you have nothing to contribute to politics. But your main effect on politics is to generate massive burning torrents of irrational love and irrational hate. PLEASE don’t run.
