It's all about what people will watch/read, which generates income. It's a shame that people will pay more attention to showing what a train wreck Palin is. In the same way, it's a shame that her book is so popular.

I care as much about her as I do every other Gov. of Alaska whom I can't name and couldn't bother to waste a brain cell trying to remember.

D's keep bringing her up as a distraction and the extreme R's are trying to keep her in the media as something viable in the future.

She is a waste of space, time and money.

It's not a shame at all -it's recycling through re-use. she's all done as a politician so now let's use her as a source of entertainement. When she ceases to be amusing, we can watch in happy horror as the train wrech reaches it's inevitable conclusion and then we can use her to reignite the "why do we love to build them up and then enjoy their downfall" and "it's all the fault of the media" debates.

Sarah does a bit of media blaming herself. :p

media

--getting things right, 246
--liberalness of, 270

:lol: I may have to read this book, if I can stomach it, just for some laughs.

(I won't buy it though...strictly a library thing.)

Kind of ironic that her book will be in libraries even though she's never been in one.

:D

I'll bet she's recommended burning or banning some library books, though.

Funny you should mention that. This is from when Palin was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. From Wikepedia

:eyebrow:

We worked that issue at the time and found nothing there. Here's the deal:

When Palin was first announced, there was a media fishing expeditionfrenzy that moved to Wasilla for about three weeks, looking for garbage. They interviewed her political enemies. The library story was one of the things they came back with. It was a non-story, as no books were banned and nobody lost their job.

The non-story was widely played presenting Palin as a book-burner and unreasonable mayor. This information was somehow coupled with a bureaucratic approach where all city officials are fired and re-hired, and many people repeated the notion that the librarian refused to ban the books and was fired.

Why are liberals so afraid of her? Because she wrote a book?

It is quite the contrary.

I cant speak for all liberals, but I LOVE the character known as Sarah Palin. She brings a smile to my face every time I see her on the news or hear her speak.

It is a wildly entertaining show, knowing that she is the most visible and popular (and unpopular at the same time) Republican on the national scene.

It is the Republican establishment that is afraid that she wont go away.

Speaking for myself, I'm amazed and horrified that Bush 2 ever made it to the White House, and was reelected. If somebody like him is able to make it into the White House, then somebody like Palin can absolutely make it there too. I don't think she has the the right qualities to hold any position of authority, but she came fairly close to the most important position in the free world, and it's possible she will again.

Not afraid of "her". She would make a poor leader, and we're afraid stupid people will elect her.

Liberals love her as a punching bag.

After her departure from Alaska, we can dismiss any possibility that she would be on a national ticket. She is a highly divisive figure, either deeply loved or deeply hated; and furthermore she will remain a generally poor candidate, not cut out for a national campaign. This is now a cash run.

I agree with every thing except the thought that, " she came fairly close to the most important position in the free world." She never had a chance. But I have enjoyed all the frothing by the left as her new book has come out. It is like Kabuki Theater. :lol:
