Why Can’t Sarah Palin Just Go Away?


I opened the homepage to the Washington Post website and found just three stories relating to Sarah Palin. One of the main headlines near the top of the page was about a poll about Sarah’s popularity conducted by the Post and ABC News. Why was this necessary? Apparently, when you announce you’re going to quit your term as governor 18 months early, people start questioning your leadership ability. Though her popularity has dipped, with 53 percent of those polled having a negative opinion, what surprised me was the 40 percent of those polled had a positive opinion. What are they on?

Senators Barbara Boxer and John Kerry have an opinion piece in the Post titled, “What Palin Got Wrong about Energy.” It is a response to an opinion piece by Sarah (or whoever wrote it for her) from last week’s Post. According to Boxer and Kerry, what Palin got wrong was pretty much everything.

The third Palin-mentioned entry is a discussion piece by Timothy Shriver. He suggests Palin focus on fighting for her son and others with Down Syndrome. That would be a noble and important quest for the soon-to-be former governor. Obviously, that won’t happen. She’ll be on the lecture tour racking up the big bucks and stirring up pointless trouble on Fox News. I fear she will be around a long, long time. And, yes, I realize the irony of doing a blog post complaining how much exposure she is getting.

She really is the most idiotic politician out there today, bar none.
The sheer size of her ego is matched only by that of her ignorance.

As long as you get that, then. And I agree with you.

No I really know you are an idiot. If the dems weren't so afraid of Sarah, they wouldn't be spending so much time on her. Can't you report more on Michael Jackson, for goodness sake?
