I simply do not understand why every time Sarah Palin says something, it’s a headline.  I doesn’t matter how silly, how ignorant, how unimportant…its news.  This woman was an embarrassment to America’s education system on a national stage.  She is certainly not a role model for any of our daughters or sons.  What is she these days, anyway?  Is she a politician?  Is she just one hot Alaskan babe?  Is  she a reality TV star?  Is she supposed to be the voice of the people from the other side of the tracks?  What exactly is her claim to fame--ensuring the GOP didn't win the 2008 election.  I don't know what she is.  And yet, every time I turn around I see her name in a headline.  Who cares what Sarah Palin thinks about anything?  Evidently a lot of folks because her little penny a#*#s comments stay in the news.
