Why is Matthews spending so much time talking about Palin?

[Joe the Revelator]

I mean come on. Tweety is going back into whore mode. She LOST, she DOES NOT matter anymore.

[Ian David]

1. She sends a tingle up his leg. HA! Fair enough! n/t

[underpants]

2. Sex sells

plus let it keep going. It feeds the fire burning in their house

[Joe the Revelator]

3. He's defending her and laying the seeds for 2012.

[PatriotGames]

6. I think he has a man-crush on Obama. n/t

[Joe the Revelator]

7. Then why would he prop up Palin?

[underpants]

11. Pro- wrestling needs bad guys and sudden loyalty splits

Same thing

its an industry

[Captain Hilts]

4. He has issues with women. It's creepy actually. nt

[MadBadger]

5. Thats really not fair, considering many on DU are still obsessed

[galaxy21]

8. I think they're trying to finish her off

the republicans have no interest in making her the leader of the party, and everyone else likes the entertainment value.

[fed_up_mother]

15. Finishing her off, and it sells. (Ratings.)

[Olney Blue]

9. She's interesting to people.

[truedelphi]

10. Maybe he ws told to spend as much time discussing Repugs as Dems??

He tends to like to attack people.

Back in the spring, when he was ga-ga over Edwards, he spent an equal amount of time attacking Hillary Clinton. I didn't understand why he didn't spend tht time just buikding up Edwards...

[Beacool]

12. Because he's a misogynist pig

and it probably gives him a hard on. Same shit he pulled on Hillary.

How I detest the buffoon!!!!!!!!

:mad:

[BklynChick]

13. I think he really hates her and feels like he can finally let loose!

[Drunken Irishman]

14. Everyone likes a car crash.

[camera obscura]

16. KO is doing the same thing right now

come on, the stories are pretty funny.

[Left Is Write]

17. If she gives a press conference, it will definitely get covered.

And yes, the KO take on the story is funny!

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

18. Because she is an new and interesting political character who played a major role in a campaign

that JUST ended? Could that be the reason? And that some of the more fascinating parts of the backstory are just being revealed? And that she offers a lot of potential insight into what people saw in her and why they voted for her? And that perhaps the illusion of the candidate and the reality conflicted?

That perhaps people with an attention span greater than that of a fruitfly might still have an interest in the lessons that can be gleaned from her candidacy? Could any one of those be a reason that she is STILL being discussed?
