Welcome to the awkward silence after Sarah Palin quit the scene, shut down her state communications office (aka her Twitter account), and disappeared in a puff of red smoke... and before she surfaces again in some other horrifying capacity.
There was speculation for a while that she might consider creating her own political party where the fringe right 30% of the fringe right 20% of Americans that still consider themselves Republicans can feel like they've got someone who understands them.
This party would need a catchy name that really captured the imaginations of the voters. Here are the Top Ten results of the "Name that Party" contest held on The Mudflats last week in preparation for this grey period.
Drumroll please.....
#10) The "I Did It On Twitter" Party - (The IDIOT Party)
#9) The Know Nothing Party (the resurrection of a classic)
#8) I Am Also, Too a Candidate! Also.
#7) The Mavwreck Party
#6) The Pity Party
#5) The American Sarah Society, Holding America Together (The ASSHATs)
#4) The Bitter Quitter Twitter Party
#3) The Party to Nowhere
#2) It's My Party (and I'll Quit if I Want To)
and the best name for Sarah Palin's new political party is....
The Conservative Republican American Party - CRAP!
Yes, in 2012, you too may be able to step behind that little curtain and vote for CRAP.
