Former Alaska governor and former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has written her memoir. Well, actually somebody else wrote it because everybody knows the woman can't put a coherent sentence together. But I have to ask -- just what has this woman done to deserve having a book written about her?
She was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska for about 6 years. This is a town that's smaller than the one I live in, which has a grand total of 1 exit off the highway. At least mine has a college. She was the chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission for a year until she -- guess what -- resigned. She was elected governor of Alaska in 2006, spent about a year and a half or so at that until John McCain inexplicably chose her as his vice presidential candidate (something I think he should apologize to America for) in an unsuccessful campaign. And then, apparently having grown too big for her britches, as my mother would say, she resigned her governorship post.
Sarah Palin has proven that she is unbelievably uninformed, on the extreme far right-wing of just about every issue, and that she has the attention span of a gnat. She doesn't complete anything she starts and she has yet to really buckle down and actually try to learn anything about, say, foreign policy, the environment, education, health care, or any other pressing issue.
I hear her book is already a bestseller. What does that say about the folks on the right wing in America? Apparently that they're more interested in looks and celebrity than in substance and knowledge. That's pretty sad.
