Is Palin over? (Let's hope so)

Today, Sarah Palin restarted her "bus tour" in Iowa after a two-month idle. And nobody cares. In an e-mail to her fans, she wrote: “The heartland is perfect territory for more of the One Nation Tour as we put forth efforts to revitalize the fundamental restoration of America by highlighting our nation’s heart, history, and founding principles.” WaPost columnist Kathleen Parker sighs: "Homeland Security reportedly has sought help from idle bloggers fluent in Palinspeak to translate the meaning of this sentence. ... Palin’s governing theory reads like a copy editor’s game where you stitch together random phrases to create something like sense. Her sashay into Iowa, meanwhile — showing up basically to show up — is testament to her inability to resist the spotlight. Or perhaps it is the flame. Time will tell, but what recent history already confirms is that Palin isn’t a serious person. But all those people who have written checks and invested good faith in their chosen one will be justified in feeling played like any other heartbroken victim of a terrible flirt. " Say what? Palin is an inarticulate, spotlight-seeking, un-serious, heartbreaking flirt in a skirt? No way, dude. Yes, way, dude. Toldja. I just wonder why it took Parker so long to figure out what most rational folk have known since 2008. Anyway, heh.
