A 'great' OP-Ed regarding Sarah Palin
<SNIP
Never has a person who is so disliked gotten so much for doing so little. Sarah Palin made herself irrelevant by quitting on Alaska, but yet she is still trying to hang on to those last few shreds of fame that she has left. Her only claim to national political celebrity will be completely gone when Mitt Romney chooses his running mate this summer. Sarah Palin knows the fame train is heading for the last stop, but she isnt ready to get off yet. Sarah Palin is the person who loses at everything, but still thinks shes a winner.
<SNIP>
Now that she is done morning television, Sarah Palin has taken another step closer to fulfilling her washed up D-list celebrity destiny of being a late night TV infomercial star.
Jon Stewart did a great job at exposing the self-serving side of Sarah Palins media crusader myth, but he really doesnt get what makes her tick. Sarah Palin is a fame parasite, who refuses to see that America is thoroughly sick of her. She is the movie that is always on that nobody wants to see. She is the bad date who wont stop calling.
America wants to break up but she wont take the hint and leave us alone, which is exactly why we cant stand Sarah Palin. It might have been fun for a minute in 2008, but its over, Sarah. Heres your stuff back. Now please move on, because we already have.

My husband saw her on Rachel's show tonight & said, "Not her again."

She's stalking us!

(16,350 posts)5. Now that I've seen Game Change, I 'get' her a little more.
She's trying to redeem herself after making such a ginormous ASS of herself so publicly. There are 18 people left outside of her family who still like her, and she interprets that as meaning she is somehow innately incredibly special. Just her 'being' should be enough to make everybody's day. She literally believes she is God's Gift to us all.
Most people who watch her really just enjoy seeing a train wreck in slow motion.
She's pathetic really. Pitiful and deluded and clinically narcissistic.
