\"palin\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here we are, 15 days from the presidential election and the question is burning in my gut …<\/p>\n

Where on Earth is Sarah Palin?<\/p>\n

You recall her, yes? The former half-term Alaska governor who long ago announced her support for fellow Republican Donald J. Trump. The former GOP vice-presidential nominee campaigned actively on behalf of House Speaker Paul Ryan’s primary opponent, who lost to the speaker by a million percentage points; she wanted to stick it to Ryan for his initial refusal to back Trump’s presidential campaign.<\/p>\n

She’s disappeared from view.<\/p>\n

Her Fox News gig has ended. Her reality TV show ended. Some of her children\u00a0have been in\u00a0“in the news” for less-than-flattering reasons.<\/p>\n

Palin’s former 2008 running mate — U.S. Sen. John McCain — is in a tough re-election fight in Arizona. She hasn’t even campaigned for him, for crying out loud. Oh, wait! McCain has gotten into a terrible public spat with Palin’s pal Trump. OK, so that’s out.<\/p>\n

In a perverse sort of way, I kind of miss listening to Sarah Barracuda making a fool of herself.<\/p>\n

Oh well. This hideous campaign is nearly over.<\/p>\n

Sarah, just know that at least one of us out here has missed you … more or less.<\/p>\n\n
