Palin Anointed to Protect Her from Witchcraft?

by The Puppet Mistress | Okay.  Maybe the video below reflects beliefs that are   a little weirder than those held by, say, Mitt Romney, George W. Bush,  Andrew Sullivan---or for that matter, me.  I mean, don't all religious practices and beliefs look a little strange from outside?  It's so hard to judge.

Or, um, not. 

But there's this to be considered. Was getting anointed as a protection against witchcraft  JUST CRAZY ENOUGH TO WORK?  She did get elected governor the next year.   Think about it!   What else could have propelled the likes of Palin to the presidential ticket except some sort of supernatural intervention?  Come on!  You saw the Couric video, didn't you?

Though maybe that's unfair?  Would probably it occur to vetters who have never visited Alaska or even a Pentecostalist church to ask, "Have you ever, at any time, been blessed and anointed to protect you from witchcraft?

Memeorandum
