Some days – by newspaper standards anyway – there just isn’t much compelling news…
Which isn’t to say there’s not going to be a Kansas City Star in your driveway. At first blush today’s newspaper doesn’t look like an impulse buy. There’s a syndicated

I like your take on Sarah Palin. I wonder if she’ll get a good crowd. In Independence. Likely.
Wonder
how is it possible people give a sht about palin? She is a quitter. She quit her job as governor of Alaska. That is a fact.
There are many other issues about her which are debatable, but equally repulsive, I can not understand the attraction.
who cares? and why? She is no leader, she is a quitter.

sarah is hot
Wonder
“hot” is what it she about?
OK, then lets be honest about it and stop pretending she is a political figure doing fund raisers.
Being “hot” is good, it means there are jobs which she is qualified for, and being Vice President of the United States is not one of them.

You guys should have more respect for the next President of the United States.

Wow! Did I just agree with PT about something?

Sarah Palin is an idiot. A little echo chamber for Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity with tits. Independence is the PERFECT place for her to appear. She’s got a good 12 months of money making ahead of her before she becomes insignificant and rides off into the sunset. Her porn tribute movie, Who’s Nailin’ Palin has outsold Barack’s Stimulus PACKAGE by 5 to 1.

we voted for a president based on his skin color. Why can’t we vote for one based on her attractiveness?
wonder
there are several reasons, but the main reason is SHE QUIT HER LAST ELECTED JOB.

Oh and of course Bill Clinton didn’t quit his job as governor……Hillary didn’t quit her senate position……and numerous other politicians including Obama didn’t leave there posts. But hey we have a different standard for Sarah.

Think the difference is, she quit early on – not to accept a position in higher office – but to do book deals and book pricey speaking engagements. There is a difference.

Officially she said she quit because she thought their were greater ways to serve her country. And technically speaking she would impact more people with her news commentary and million dollar book sales then she would say as a governor of a state. You can impact Alaska or you can impact an entire nation. You can be a local pastor or you can be Joel Osteen. Do we think Kathleen had more impact as the governor of KS or in her current position?

She bailed on the governor gig to raise some much needed cash to fund legal fees for a variety of things she was accused of doing. Also, by resigning alot of those problems just went away. She does a good job of spouting off populist ideas that she borrows from the right wing pundits. She has no real unique ideas of her own. She knows the problems but offers little in the way of solutions. She has no real future in politics, unless someone would name her Secretary of the Interior. She’ll keep cashing the Fox News checks for as long as she can but will ultimately wind up on the rubber chicken circuit knocking down $250/K a year. Not a bad gig.
