Overindulgent Palin Stuff

The insignificane of Sarah Palin’s 10-month duration on the national circuit is so extreme, to one point where major media networks and liberal newspaper columnists can’t comprehend, that I cringe in pity at the realization of it. I’ve already read two well-wrought but well-unnecessary pieces of Palin coverage in the NYTimes, one other on an erudite and popular WordPress blog, and to be rather honest, I don’t need anyone to iterate what I already know, and subsequently wither to when hearing again, that Sarah Palin was not qualified politically or emotionally to sustain such a prominent position. I truly despise this woman for a plethora of political stances, but I refuse to give the Republican party what they deserve: an “I told ya.” The resignation of Sarah Palin was more of a saber to Republicans than people realize; this was the conservative who would potentially command the GOP flagship, carry them to a 2012 beer-filled victory, earn the hearts of thousands, win another term, and be the Obama-like figure of the Red Party. But as many educated conservatives knows, this was never feasible. Palin was bait for the media from the start, and all those traits that would potentilly fame her, came back to bite her in the end. Her missteps are obvious to everyone I think, or so I shall hope, and another Op-Ed piece of the breakdown isn’t necessary. So spare me and write about something a little more vital like a US-Russian nuclear weapons treaty, or an update on the imprisioned American journalists in Korea, or, like it isn’t still blatantly necessary, the economy. Write about the good intentions of an already historic president but the tenuousness of his policies (a much needed stimulus but not quite heavy enough, i.e., more  money), or write about the benefits of healthcare, anything really. The resignation of Palin isn’t shocking, it just reiterates what us blue-dog democrats and many more already knew.
