Conservative sanity

Here's a great take on the vapidness of the Sara Palin by a deep thinking conservative.

Palin is, by and large, a media creation. The national political media, and nonpolitical media oftentimes, lustfully tosses out her twitters and facebook comments to create the tension and conflict that makes people pay attention. But it goes beyond responsible reporting and real political dialogue because she has no real standing to the degree the media uses her. She quit her job as governor, does not belong to any institution, and has never shown any real grasp of policies/issues that would make her a serious part of the discussion. She avoids questions and interviews except on Fox News. Except the accident of her being nominated by John McCain as his VP candidate, she would still be fighting for the bridge to nowhere as Gov. of Alaska.

She's got good looks, some personality, a weird but loyal family and is unafraid to attack others, which apparently makes for good entertainment. My guess is that by 2012, with her wining, celebrity chasing, and incessant Facebooking, the American public will experience Palin fatigue.

Her support will continue to narrow and she'll be mostly a sideshow, which is really what she is now if you think about it because, unfortunately, sideshows are now the mainshow.
