And The Palins Shall Inherit The Earth
Not even Sarah Palin's most ardent admirers would ever call her meek or mild, but more likely descriptions include bold, brash, rude and crude, with an “in your face attitude,” and an insatiable lust for attention.
Love her, or hate her, Sarah Palin is a mega-celebrity. No matter what she does, the cameras and microphones are there, and the public can't seem to get enough of her. What has she accomplished in life to gain this star status?
According to Wikipedia , she is a former governor, a former vice-presidential candidate, an author, a political commentator and host of her own television series. Rumor has it there will be Presidential bid in 2012, this despite not managing a full term as governor, and single-handedly destroying the Republican bid for the White House in 2008.
Why this fascination with Sarah? Perhaps the simple answer is that she is real, and makes no attempt to control her mouth. Politicians normally are scripted personalities. Everything they say is pre-packaged and vetted for anything that might cause anyone the slightest offense. Professional writers and spin doctors polish every word to the point that speeches become bland and meaningless.
Some achieve fame by always seeming to do, or say, the right thing at the right time. Sarah Palin manages it by always doing, or saying, whatever is least appropriate every time. She has her picture taken holding a gun, and poses with bloodied dead animals, making her PETA's villain of the decade. She asks her daughter Bristol (campaigner for chastity and abstinence) if she is going to give her Dancing With The Stars partner a lap dance. Most horrifying of all, she doesn't seem to care what Oprah thinks of her. In fact, she doesn't seem to care what anyone thinks.
