Sarah Palin says she'd serve in late GOP Rep. Don Young's House seat "in a heartbeat"

Sarah Palin said Monday she's weighing a possible run for Alaska congressman Don Young's vacant U.S. House seat following his death last week.

What she's saying: The former Alaska governor told Newsmax it "would be an honor" to replace the long-serving Republican House member.

"If I were asked to serve in the House and take his place, I would be humbled and honored and I would in a heartbeat, I would," Palin added.

The 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee noted to anchor Eric Bolling that Young's would be "huge shoes" to fill. She paid tribute to his "longevity and his passion, his love, his fighting spirit for our wonderful state of Alaska, and for the nation as a whole."

As for Palin, she'd probably win if she ran. The stupid and crazy continues for the GOP.

Her husband divorced her a couple years ago. She has -zero- legislative experience, and not much better executive experience. (Only 2 years as Governor, left under a black cloud.) No law degree, not that it's required, but still.

Nowadays, Palin is so identified with Faux Noise and Chump that she'd never be able to wash off the taint.

.... a great view of Mt. Denali not too far off a newly paved road Sarah "stepped down" as
Governor. I don't think the Palins paid any kind of taxes on the property or could they show
any kind of paperwork as to how the house was built and paid for.

I wish she would just go away and grift from right wing evangelical dumb fucks.

But let's be real. She'd still raise the average IQ of House Republicans by a few points.

You couldn't even hack 1 term as Governor of a state that hands out free money.
