Cher On Son Chaz’s Struggles And The Unbelievable Dumbness Of Being That Is Sarah Palin

Cher graces the cover of the December Vanity Fair – her first film in over ten years, Burlesque, released on November 24th – and the magazine offers a preview, Cher speaking about Chaz, who recently completed gender reassignment, “If I woke up tomorrow in a guy’s body, I would just kick and scream and cry and fucking rob a bank, because I cannot see myself as anything but who I am – a girl. I would not take it as well as Chaz has. I couldn’t imagine it. She’s a very smart girl – boy! This is where I get into trouble. My pronouns are fucked. I still don’t remember to call her ‘him.’” She also talks about aging, about Sonny, and about Sarah Palin and Arizona governor Jan Brewer. “I got so obsessed with (C-SPAN) that it was kind of interfering with my life. Sarah Palin came on, and I thought, Oh fuck, this is the end. Because a dumb woman is a dumb woman,” and of Brewer she says “She was worse that Sarah Palin, if that’s possible. This woman was like a deer in the headlights. She’s got a handle on the services of the state, and I would not let her handle the remote control.” As for a family cursed by addictions, Cher says “I tried a couple of drugs, but I never felt good out of control. I have the constitution of a fruit fly. I can’t do coffee, but I can do Dr. Pepper.”
