Sniffy, Before She Was Sniffy!

Slate points out this book in 1991 predicting the rise of Sarah Palin:

To summarize the plot rather crudely: Frankie Fitzgibbons is a demure and docile small-town New Englander, 45 years old, not long widowed, who one day goes bananas and begins to take over the world.

And so begins her reign of terror.

Of course, HL Mencken got it right decades before that.

I still don't know why they don't just say "fuck it" and run Kim Kardashian for president if they're so desperate to have candidates that are hot, sexy pieces of ass with heads full of nothing but air.
