How can she not Meet The Press and Face The Nation and still be considered relevant ?

You know, Hulk Hogan is now on a book tour. His book is about as "real" as they come. Maybe they should team up for the "Real American Gone Rogue You Betcha Tour" so Hulk can write about how he turned down her sexual advances in his next book!

Sounds about right to me.

Sarah's handlers have to be very careful that she isn't found out again as the dull-witted and proudly ignorant opportunist that she is.

But, really! She's plugging her ghost written book, not running for president.
And, since the TV and radio gab fest fans don't read, but only buy books (for display) because they are told to by their media heroes, a "Book About Nothing" is perfect for them.

Interviews on the book tour...

She's scheduled to be on Oprah, Hannity, Combs, Limbaugh...

Are these interviews a bit too "light weight" for her if she's going to improve her image with the voters?

For God's sake! I would expect that a governor of a state would be somewhat familiar with current events and her own party's policies.

What excuse can she make but "little wit?"

She is incapable of more. Sarah Palin has used her (rapidly failing) looks to get ahead her whole life.
Her shallowness is stunning.

Dan,

I would just LOVE to take your word for that, but I cant. Because, it is the very same thing everyone said right after the election a YEAR ago. As soon as the election is over she will go back to Alaska to never be heard of or seen again. And just look how well that has worked out for all the Palin haters.

Palin, is going to be around for some time. She is a politician, and therefore, she doesn't know when to quit sticking her face in the spot light and keeping her name in the headlines. Yeah, she quit being governor, but considering the circumstances, it was the right thing for her to do. The constant and undying attacks would not have stopped and she would have spent more time in court than in office is she would have stayed.

Now, she has a wide open schedule, and all the time in the world to make herself into a better, smarter, and more prepared candidate for her next public office.

The one whose highest level of reading is Maxim, finds Red Bull kind of weak, and spends way too much time in front of the zoo's turtle exhibit hoping for sexy time.

Who never attended high school, college or law school but became an Associate Supreme Court Justice?

Stupid Sarah's reach exceeded her grasp last year.

She will never be elected President. She will never be nominated as the Republican candidate. Never.

Quick quiz: Who was the last losing V.P. candidate who was elected President?
