Ever since John McCain picked her as his running mate last year, Sarah Palin has been in the news. And although it was perfectly reasonable for her to make a scene on Katie Couric during the election, it has gotten old. Frankly, I have no desire to read her new book, where she slams everyone from John McCain to Ronald Reagon to Katie Couric, who she called badgering and biased. Last time I checked, if someone asks you what magazines you read, and your response is "Um, all of them, any of them.", they're not being badgering and biased. You're just embarrassing yourself. Frankly, I don't really care that Meg Whitman, GOP candidate for California Governor, is "California's Sarah Palin". And no, I don't really care that Palin doesn't think Global Warming is a serious issue. She's entitled to her own opinions, but I'd love it if she kept them to herself.And apparently, I'm not alone. This week, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger slammed Palin for calling on President Barack Obama to boycott the Copenhagen Conference, saying "You have to ask: what was she trying to accomplish? Is she really interested in this subject or is she interested in her career and in winning the (Republican presidential) nomination?". The fact that a fellow republican, albeit one who has backed strict new emissions controls to combat climate change, would call out Palin for her actions shows just how ludacris her attention grabbing is. And although its clear I've had enough of Palin, I'm interested if you feel the same way, or if you think I'm unfairly picking on Governor Palin.
I have never really taken seriously as a politician. I see her as a kind of socialite, a kind of Paris Hilton in a political sense. She, for the most part was unheard of in politics, as the issues that Alaska faces are not highly publicized. She now was granted a VIP pass into the spotlight of American politics, and frankly she hasn't gotten enough of it. To this point she has lived a life worthy of the cover of People, her teenage daughter having a kid and being impersonated on SNL. So I don't think it is unreasonable to be fed up with Palin. It even furthers my point that she is writing a book that does not even concern politics, but rather rips on fellow politicians.
