How the hell is Sarah Palin relevant?

[Drunken Irishman]

Is she currently an elected official? No.

Is she currently running to be an elected official? Not yet.

So what makes her different than you and I? Why does anyone care what she thinks? Better yet, why does anyone ask her what she thinks? To me, she's just another citizen. Today, until she announces any type of run for the presidency, she is no different than the other 300 million people who call the United States home. So why do we treat her as if she is?

1. just last night ...

the "DNC" called me on the telephone. Whether it was really them or not, I do not know. They wanted $100.00 right away so they could fight the Repuke leadership. I asked them who the leadership is in the repig party and they said it was Rush Limpballs, Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin.

I replied to them that I did not view any of the above persons to be "leaders" and that they are insignificant idiots and that those that back them won't go away for $100.00.

It went on a bit longer with "them" and I told "them" that they could not count on me as this was a waste of money IMO.

Note to: Sarah Palin, you are irrelevant. Take your garbage (and your sick kid) and find something positive to do.

:kick:

3. Exactly.

I don't care what the former governor of Alaska thinks.

She took herself out of politics, so why does she continue pushing herself back in? For someone who couldn't accept the media frenzy, she sure likes to create it.

What a fucking hypocrite.

2. Who . . . . . ?

[rurallib]

4. because the corporate media has designated as such

the same fucking reason a disgraced Newt Gingerich is relevant.

[Thrill]

5. Media wants her to be. They love that idiot

[XemaSab]

6. She's quite possibly the best-looking female politician out there

and the media sure does love their bright shiny objects.

[onestepforward]

7. I agree.

If she were more plain-looking, we wouldn't be seeing or hearing much from her.

8. Bullshit, she's Peggy Hill with better hair photo shopped onto a declining porn star

They love her because batshit Republiscum adore her and everyone else hates her with a passion so she is a ratings bonanza. Her "hotness" is way over-rated. Nutso Bachman is better looking.

9. Are you kidding me?

Bachman not only looks crazy, but she looks like she's had work done. :shrug:

12. That is a perfect description of Palin's alleged "good looks"...

and I agree that Batshit Crazy Bachmann has much better bones

11. The media has decided that the twit is relevant.

They are shoving her down our throats.
