Most of the stuff that passes for news lately meets the 3-D test --- depressing, disgusting, and discouraging. It gives me a headache to think about it, much less write about it. But when all else fails, I can rely on Sarah Palin to shimmy into the headlines, and she's always good for a paragraph or so.
Sarah's latest newsworthy appearance was as keynote speaker at the national teabag coalition convention in Nashville. Somebody paid her 100,000 big Georges for that one. Sarah may yet run for president, and God save us all, may even be elected. But something tells me she's found her niche in life, and she's diggin' it. She's constantly in the national spotlight, nearly as much as the president himself. She's making money hand over fist and gets standing ovations for being behind a microphone (her favorite place) and reciting one lame conservative cliche after another. I ask you, by her standards, can it get much better than this ?
As for the teapeople, fuck 'em. Any group whose members are devoted to Sarah Palin, listen to Limbaugh on radio, watch more than ten minutes of Fox News Channel per week, or buy books by Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity, is too ridiculous to be taken seriously. The convention Palin addressed was attended by about 600 teabaggers. That's an important political movement ?
Let's face it: Palin and the teabaggers are both media creations that would vanish into thin air if the cameras and microphones weren't around.
