Sarah is going to make big bucks out of politics. There is no way around that. May as well get used to it.

Just like Jenna Jameson made big bucks. Jenna just did it more honestly.

I still think it's hilarious that the film is called "The Undefeated". I guess losing an election doesn't qualify as being defeated?

The Vice Presidency was merely a setback.

I don't see the comparison. How is Palin being dishonest?

She is not providing a tangible good or service from which to profit.

Exactly. She is to politics what Britney Spears or Ashlee Simpson is to music. Mindless, pop culture crap.

Perhaps before but have you seen how she's doing it now?

Wha? She vocalizes and draws attention to the resentment of a certain portion of white America. I can understand if her books or movies weren't giving her fans what they wanted, but that's a complaint that they can make on their own.

Wow, you just insulted Britney Spears. I can at least dance to Britney.

FTFY

She vocalizes and draws attention to the resentment of a certain portion of white America.

So does David Duke. Doesn't mean he's providing a service that's useful to *mainstream* America, or beneficial to the country as a whole. And Palin is no different.

Sarah Palin won't run for president

Instead, Palin said she can be more effective helping other Republicans win office as governors...

Will she help them quite their job early to join Fox News and reality shows as well?

She's not running until she is, and then she is running until she's not.

Odd that she would make that announcement the day after another potential candidate got attention for telling people he's not running.

Let me just officially come out and tell you all that I too am NOT running for the office of president.

Unfortunately, I would also like to officially come out and proclaim that I will not be running for the office of the President of the United States of America.

Spoiler:

Or am I?

It's because he isn't done palling around with terrorists.

You make them think you are their friend, and then WHAM! Bunker buster in the face.

Well, there goes my Palin/Bachmann super ticket.

I wonder if such a bumper sticker would qualify as hipster ironic or if the prospect is just too close to actual fringe Republican sentiment that it would fall victim to Poe's Law.

It also means my dream ticket won't be happening.

Poe's Law and that ticket would get at least 25% of the electorate even if they didn't actively campaign or spend a dime.

Most probably. I am also preparing for my documentary, "Psych, the Unwanted Story" to be premiered in the same town that Palin premiered her film.

Psych, if you were prez, wouldn't you have to abdicate your Hobo Throne?

If there was any silver lining to Steve Jobs' death, it's that he overshadowed Palin's attention grab in a big way.

At this time, I have no plans to run for president.
