Sarah Palin has not suddenly become environmentally hip, but she has gone green... with envy. She may not yet be able to answer which newspapers she reads, but she certainly has figured out how to stay on their pages.
She picks out celebrities and piggybacks her name onto theirs, just like Oswald, Chapman Ray, only without the gun. She's also attempted to link herself with the entire Democratic Party, as in she would've won had she been their vice presidential candidate. She's so "out there," Putin can see her from the window of his tank.
Just this week, Palin has associated her name with those of Caroline Kennedy, Tina Fey, and Katie Couric (accusing them of class war against her; using her to get ahead; edited her out of context, respectively), in an obvious (desperate?) effort to remain before the eyes of the American public. Someone should tell Palin that it would help if she accomplished something, like maybe answering a question less mavericky. Instead, she wants to play the Blame a Name to Regain Fame Game.
How quaint that she accused vice president-elect Joe Biden of looking backward, when she is so yesterday, it's embarrassing. I thought we'd heard the last of that reedy voice, but no, the media plays The Sarah Palin Boogie over and over. Whether it's again seeing videos of her aborted effort to give a concession speech before she got the hook, with the not-quite son-in-law, or standing defiantly in front of that quivering turkey who'd rather get his head stuck in a grinder than listen to her. I know how he felt. I wish the people of Alaska would all point the mute button on their remotes toward the governor's office simultaneously. It may be our only hope.
"Fame will go by and, so long, I've had you, fame," said Marilyn Monroe, "... I've always known it was fickle. So at least it's something I experienced, but that's not where I live."
It may not be where Marilyn Monroe wanted to live, but it seems to be where Palin wants to live. Ask her -- beauty queen runner-up, vice presidential runner-up, and the thing that wouldn't die
Until the media wises up, we may be destined to be forever stuck with what's left of her name after you take out the L.

The comment that had me blinking in disbelief was her statement that had she simply been a Democrat instead of Republican all would have been well and she would be preparing to be VP. I thought of all the women who are guiding forces in the Democratic party, the governors, elected officials on local and state level -- the scrutiny of Hillary (who I would never vote for but willingly admitted she was capable and smart enough). For Palin to be Democrat she would have to actually know something and be capable of rational thought and come up with actual ideas that might work to save our economy. She can be the future hope for Republicans -- perhaps at some point they will realize the American public requires our leaders to represent everyone and to be smarter than a 5th grader.
She can't see beyond the end of her nose to realize that other politicians are scuitinized too.
Sarah has entitlement issues. She thinks she is entitled to be President of the United States and is entitlled to be free from being criticized by the media or the public. Maybe she needs to be President in a country where they don't allow criticism of it's leaders----like N. Korea.
Why does Sarah think she gets a pass when every other public figure is open to scrutiny?
She seems unable to let go of the sound of applause and the screaming out of her name by large GOP crowds.
If the media would only let her go, she would really have to leave us to ponder more important things, like jobs for our millions of unemployed, regaining the respect of the world and ourselves, and the horrible thought that China could always foreclose on our massive debt.
Compared to those problems, Palin pales.

Put that stuff out there. Tape don't lie.
She is a mixed metaphor, and a double dangle dingle berry. I mean really, her...wo is me...I am a victim...shtick is the stupidest thing I have ever seen on the wrong side of the isle.
On the other hand her, look what an idiot I am, tour to keep reminding the country of that fact may be the best thing since sliced bread for those wishing to see the extinction of religious philosophical rhetoric and ideology outside of the bathroom and in the public discourse. Like taking a dump, it should be done in private. Unlike taking a dump, religion is not something that has to be done so, Palin as a metaphor, is mixed.
They seem to be proud of ignorance. They put up people who are not intellectual curious and expect us with more brains to be satisfied with this mediocrity.
Please keep it up and drive the final nail into the coffin of the GOP
Same with Hillary.
My big question is: Who pays for the make-up and hair of female politicians who struggle to get noticed? How about Pelosi and Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein?
I hope it's not us.
Experience has shown me that victims don't make good leaders. It shows they are weak not strong--like we need in a President.
Can you imagine Palin in office, " Putin talked mean to me. Boo-Hoo, poor me"
That says it all.
She has the nerve to continue to bash Couric when she has stated that she hasn't watched the interviews. She is saying that they edited pieces together to make her look and sound bad. What?She really needs to watch it so she can see that it's NOT edited, but rather it clearly shows Palin is out of her league. Her continued criticism of Couric is just embarrasing----------------for Sarah.

That time is coming soon.
