Thrust into the spotlight, now signing multi million dollar book deals, and showing up for intervews where ever she can, the political novice, half term Governor and gimmick selection by the Republicans in a desperate attempt to gain new voters (backfired, obviously) is chattering her way towards saturation on the gossip/news channels. In another ironic twist, this was a failed campaign smear of McCain, to attribute the popularity of
Obama to Paris and Britney.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Sarah Palin is juggling offers to write books, appear in films and sit on dozens of interview couches at a rate astonishing for most Hollywood stars, let alone a first-term governor.
Oprah wants her. So do Letterman and Leno.The failed Republican vice presidential candidate crunched state budget numbers this past week in her 17th-floor office as tumbling oil prices hit Alaska's revenues. Her staff, meanwhile, fielded television requests seeking the 44-year-old Palin for late-night banter and Sunday morning Washington policy.

it's called supply and demand. I know liberals don't believe in a free market, but if their wasn't a market for them, they wouldn't be cashing in. I would say the same thing about the entire obama family. they are better left unseen and unheard. unfortunately he got elected, and unfortunately for you, palin is going to be annoying you for a while. don't like it, turn off the television.

Obama won because of his ABILITY, Palin was chosen as a campaign GIMMICK to try and win votes. Now the media is following after her hoping for their "Couric" moment(s)

Oh, come up with something better than the "jealousy" line. It's been worked to death.

how about bitter, angry, loathsome, or hateful. those better for ya? I actually find it comical the way that palin seems to have the ability to get under liberals skin so easily. she doesn't even have to talk to bring out the hate.
