I was just writing yesterday about the rise of tabloids in political journalism, and then today, someone hipped me to TMZ's discovery of Sarah Palin's big-hair days as an 80's sports anchor for Alaska's KTUU TV (Click here to see the clip).
The clip features Palin going through what she calls a "Beaver Rundown."
This clip has absolutely no substantive merit, except perhaps as a harbinger of things to come. At 44, Palin is probably the first major political figure to have come of age during Madonna's "Borderline" phase. In the not-too-distant future, we could be treated to Chess King-clad politicos with mullets, crooning "Tainted Love" at a karaoke bar from a VHS tape.
Maybe someday, we'll even get a president who was in his own "Devo" tribute band. Perchance to dream.
