Please Missy Caribou Barbie...please just go away. Please. Are we going to have to look at this bimbo for the next four years on mag covers and MSM TV?????? I'd rather eat glass.

Palin lives in a fantasy world. Is daughter Bristol going to reappear in Jan or stay disappeared for a bit longer? She disappeared from school in Oct 2007 and reappeared only in Apr 2008, fueling speculation that she was pregnant and hidden away.
Too bad that couldn't happen to her mother. I truly feel sorry for her kids, since mommy sucks all the oxygen out of the universe.
And will she require the same Freddy Krueger-style background she had in the turkey fiasco when she's interviewed by all those people? Who's going to govern while she's flitting around disseminating her bullshit?

Why do you continue to waste your time on this stuff? Wouldn't it be better to spend space discussing Obama's cabinet picks?

No, it wouldn't. If you want to see Sarah Palin as president, then yes we should ignore her and let her build her base. We do ourselves no favors by ignoring people like Palin during the off years. And more generally, she is a constant reminder to the American people of why they should stay far away from the republican party.

Exactly. The more Americans see Palin, the more marginal and silly she seems to them.
Let her stay in the spotlight. She can foment her goofy talibangelical base, and then get seven or eight votes if she ever actually gets nominated again.
She only appeals to those freaks, thankfully.

If she gets a million dollar book deal, kiss her re election bid goodbye. I wouldn't be surprise that she loses in the GOP primary in 2010 as she beat Murkowski in 2006. There is going to be some huge outrage if she gets a huge contract.
If she really wants to use her star power, start hitting the fundraising circuit, help out the RNC and the GOP. If she keeps the focus solely on her, like a book deal, etc, it will backfire. Once she signs a book deal, she loses any outside chance for the GOP nomination...

We have a problem here in America. We refuse to put down someone who is clearly out of their league, because we have this irrational belief in the underdog, to the point that we think they are more deserving of the prize than the frontrunner. It probably goes back to our national origins, but it needs to come to an end soon. This kind of thinking is immature and childish and can only lead to bad things. We need to grow up as a nation and start leaving the big jobs to the most qualified people, start respecting them, and stop thinking that we can ridicule the establishment and soft shoe our way out of everything. Life isn't "Caddyshack" folks. That was a movie made to help us feel better about old people controlling young people. It wasn't supposed to be a blueprint for society.
I'm a Democrat, and I certainly DON'T say "bring it on" to Sarah Palin becoming a GOP power broker. We must even hold our opponents to a higher standard, not let them sink into the depths. Because the Dems eventually copy what the GOP does, and there we will go too.
We need to pull ourselves out of our 20th century delusion before it is too late. There is hard work to be done. We gain nothing by reveling in our enemy's failure. We want to defeat them, not see them humiliate themselves. With that kind of attitude we are but a small leap from having a Palin on our own team.
End the delusion now.

Even being for the "underdog" doesn't mean elevating them to huge fortune and celebrity. We've all seen how that works out with lottery winners. And even at my age of 67, I'd much rather hire a well educated and experienced lawyer than represent myself with only 2 years of college and my 20 yrs working in the legal field.

Oh please, please, please let it be Palin in 2016! Let what's left of the Religious Right cast their vote for Tundra Barbie.

Keep covering this attention whore, John. It's amusing, and it keeps alive the correct perception that when it comes to vapidity she makes Paris Hilton look like Bertrand Russell.

She seems to hire people as stupid and silly as she is. This assures she will never have any major success outside of Alaska.

Hey! No need to criticize teenager girls. The majority are plenty smart and capable.
You can compare her to George W. Bush or Monica Goodling or Chris Matthews or any other immature idiot adult. Notice how she has more in common with these guys than your average smart teenage girl.

I'm torn here. The most fitting end to Miss Sarah would be to be ignored to death. The most effective end of the sad remains of the Republican Party would be for her to be endlessly feted, interviewed, YouTube'd, talk-showed, and promoted as the GOP's next best hope for the next four years.
I'm thinking...

She'll be in big demand at GOP fundraisers where the brainless GOP will write a check to watch her read a script. She's a spokesmodel.

Palin - the Tom Cruise of politics. Fame and 'star power', sure, but involved in a nutcase religion and you're never sure what bizarre stuff they're going to pull next. And like a train wreck, you can't help yourself but watch.

Please People, allow her the15 minutes of fame alloted to her, and we will never have to hear from her again. She will torpedoe her own ship in a very short period of time. Give her that opportunity that she continually babbles on about. As SHE says, "This is a land of opportunity." Please allow her the opportunity to show what a complete imbecile she is, and she will fade into the backround in a timely fashion. Not terribly unlike the man who chose her to be the second in command of this country. I can't wait to see the MTV "Cribs" show on him five years from now. Cindy laying on the dirty sheets all drugged up, and him in a dirty tee-shirt, working on his '67 chevy. I'm sorry, did I say that with my outside voice?

All you liberals do a fine job of "lifting people up" You should be proud! Get off your self righteous band wagon and realize what has just happened to you! Sheeple playing the commie media's horrible games does you justice. Brain dead zombies goose stepping down the street with sniviling groupie Ophra in the lead. The ever faithful Jessie "Nuts offf" Jackson bringing up the rear. Heil! Liberals!

Why do people go to freak shows? Why are people interested in Ripley's Believe It Or Not? The verry same reasons apply to the interest in Sarah Palin who is so beyond the norms as to engender extreme curiosity. Can she really be this_______or this________? Soon this bizzare show will end and Palin will become a Dan Quale on steroids.

If Sarah Palin and the christian right wing get control of the republican party... you can rename it the new republican fascist party!
