Why is Sarah Palin taken seriously by anyone that can fog a mirror?

[jeanmarc]

Is it because us liberals concede understanding easily when someone has to go to like 4 community colleges to get a degree?

When the 'product' that is made from such bouncing around is so idiotic and offensive, why do we or anyone in the media take her seriously?

Sarah Palin is an idiot! And because she resembles a porn star, the media continues to give her headlines.

WHY IS THIS IDIOT ALWAYS ON MY TELEVISION SCREEN?!!!!!

1. Because she is so much like many Americans.

Ignorant.

2. She's superficial

and that's what passes for substance these days. She's attractive enough to to get the attention of the conservative males which makes conservative women want to emulate her. She's a mom = "She's just like MEEE!"

She's not real. She really has no more substance than an inflatable sex doll. If you pay attention to her body language and the way she dresses, that's pretty much what she's selling.

3. Did you see her talk in support of McCain???

She looks like a cheerleader addressing an auditorium of middle school kids!

And McCain seemed totally overwhelmed by her "ADHD" energy and her "cutsy" speech! It's so sad to see the downfall of a man who has had some good time. . .who was an American Hero!. . .I think today he looked like a man with Alzheimer trying to "appear"

But I noticed Cindy McCain's face standing net to McCain also. . .she looked totally uncomfortable and disgusted!
I think she was in hell!. . . .I really don't think there is ANY love lost between Cindy and Sarah!

That raises my opinion

4. Because the media want her there. Real people and work are

boring. She creates conflict where ever she goes and the media must have conflict/drama.

6. People project onto public figures what they want to see. nt

7. The media is pushing and

promoting her hard. She appeals to the ignorant and the fearful, who are usually the outright haters.
