There is simply TOO MUCH to cover, and they all are being drowned out by the RNC. It seems the media has a genuine interest in covering them. The MSM smells blood in the water and they all are looking to take a bite. The problem is that with so many scandals and so little time they all cannot be covered. The public can only handle so much at once. I wish they slow down to a one every two day pace instead of the 30 a day pace that's been going on since Friday.

2. The whole Palin mess reminds me of that episode of The Simpsons where...

...Monty Burns goes for a checkup, and they find out he's got so many serious diseases that it's like a hundred people trying to fit through the same door, all at once. None of them can get through to kill him, so he just keeps on living...possibly forever.

Perhaps that's the Palin strategy. She has so many scandals buzzing around her that, no sooner has the media latched onto one than another flies into view. Reporters are rushing off to all corners trying to pin something down, meanwhile five more spring up. In the end, she'll be confirmed as VP because there simply won't be enough people in the world to investigate everything she's been up to.
