Amused bewilderment on the left has oft been prelude to horrors from the right. 
Recall Tom Lehrer in 1963 or so:

"Hollywood's always tried to mix
Show business with politics
>From Helen Gahagan
To Ronald Reagan??" (the "really?" implied in his voice)

This was followed a few years later at Woodstock Festival when a performer 
dedicated a tune to "Governor Ronald Rayguns".

Lo and behold! Life imitated art and the frivolous Palin-esque Reagan was 
directing Star Wars from the Oval Orifice (while the assassins of John Kennedy 
ran the country). 

At the least the "left" got their joke in first.
