Dreaming of Magnum’s Ferrari

Posted on December 7, 2009 by Matt Osborne
Sarah Palin famously went through five universities before getting her degree. The diva was on the MRS program, but her sojourn in Hawaii was brief because, her father says, the presence of so many Asians and Pacific Islanders made her…uncomfortable: “They were a minority type thing and it wasn’t glamorous, so she came home.”

Minority type thing, not glamorous? She’s allowed her taste in men, but how did she expect to find a First Dude type amongst all those Hawaiians? Had popular culture convinced her the place was full of good, clean white folks?



I mean, sure, there are minorities in the TV Hawaii of her youth; but they’re all second bananas. I think Sarah was dreaming of Magnum’s Ferrari.

    Maybe Sarah was afraid she'd be sacrificed to the gods by being thrown into an active volcano. "Book'em, Danno!!"

    Anonymous, that's entirely possible. Joe vs. the Volcano must have come out while she was in high school…

    I think she was dreaming of "Magnum's Ferrari" (if ya know what I mean).
