5. oh yeah

that is it.

can someone tell me why i can't seem to turn away from the story of sarah palin? i'm reading the mudflats i'm reading huffpo, i'm reading the boston globe and the list goes on. i tried to figure it out, but i really can't. apparently no matter how many lies the woman spews, her fans will still believe in her. it's not looking like she's going to have many more of those than cheney after all is said and done though. i don't know. it's entertaining but that can't be all there is to it. it's like a train wreck and i can't take my eyes off it.

no, i won't be reading her book (http://www.themudflats.net/ - akmuckraker is doing it for me), but i did buy both versions of going rouge. and like i said, i just seem to be fascinated by the whole damn story of this person. why?

7. Pick up that Newsweek magazine, Sarah, and look long and hard at the cover

in hopes that you'll finally see yourself as too many others do.



I'm not talking about the visual of her in running shorts. I'm talking about the text on the cover which describes her as a "problem" that is "bad news for the GOP--and everybody else." Did it make her cry "Character assassination"? No, it made her cry "Sexism!" and "How DARE you not take me seriously?", which has me crying "Sociopath!"

Unfortunately, it's classic Palin priority-setting. What was more important: accepting the VP nomination or protecting her political party by protecting her pregnant teenage daughter? Giving birth to the healthiest Down's Syndrome baby possible or making a speech and taking a 12-hour flight after going into labor a month early? Buttressing her political credentials and credibility by completing her tenure as a state governor, or cashing in on the cheap notoriety of speaking fees, TV appearances and book advances? She didn't even have enough common sense to announce her resignation from where she could have been seen working out the details of the transition--she did it from a fishing boat instead.

I say that Newsweek has done Palin a favor by so expertly portraying her descent from political long shot to dead pundit walking to media irrelevance. Here's hoping she'll finally realize that the world is not one big demented beauty pageant where she is both the only contestant AND the only judge. It was inevitable that Sarah would hit a wall--lucky for her, it wasn't made of something harder than glossy 4-color stock paper.
