ABC NEWS Special.. Pimping Sarah Palin For President....
Hour-long special on ABC now.

Can't imagine what this says about the USA (as a country)... that they would even consider a person like Sarah Palin for the highest office in the land.

This has to be the final days of the great American dream...

2. Palin Is Pimped Every Time She Is Mentioned In Anything....
that even remotely resembles 'the news'.

The more she gets talked about, the longer she remains a factor rather then a foot-note.

4. They were doing it even on DWTS.
The show kept going to her for "commentary" and when the show had "special" music, Heart, the group played "Baracuda", which was Palin's nickname in high school (basketball). ABC has gone beyond reporting. They ARE pimping Palin.

6. She's quickly becoming the Ford Edsel of politics
While she still enjoys the undying support of a few diehards, her brand will represent failure itself after her time in the spotlight is over.

http://thepoliticalcarnival.net/2010/12/15/poll-itics-86-of-d-c-insiders-say-palin-not-qualified-to-run-for-president/
(UPI) — A huge majority of Washington’s insiders say Sarah Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate, isn’t qualified to be president, a Politico poll indicates.

Eight-six percent of respondents considered members of the political establishment said they don’t think Palin is qualified to hold the office, compared to 64 percent of the general public, results of the Politico poll released Wednesday said. <...>

In addition, 79 percent of those classified as Washington elites said they think Palin is a “negative influence in national politics” while 15 percent said they thought she was “a breath of fresh air,” Politico said.
