Sarah Palin as Newsworthy as Paris Hilton

She Who Must Not Be Named
By CHARLES M. BLOW

This is it. This is the last time I’m going to write the name Sarah Palin until she does something truly newsworthy, like declare herself a candidate for the presidency. Until then, I will no longer take part in the left’s obsessive-compulsive fascination with her, which is both unhealthy and counterproductive.

She’s the Zsa Zsa Gabor of American politics. She once did something noteworthy, but she’s now just famous for being famous.

Yet the left continues to elevate her every utterance so that they can mock and deride her. The problem is that this strategy continues to backfire. The more the left tries to paint her as one of the “Mean Girls,” the more the right sees her as “Erin Brockovich.” The never-ending attempts to tear her down only build her up. She’s like the ominous blob in the horror films: the more you shoot at it, the bigger and stronger it becomes.
Yes, she’s about as sharp as a wet balloon, but we already know that.

Of course Mr. Blow is right, but who can really help themselves with such a treasure trove of nasty ignorance? Not me for one!

What Charles misses in this is that it doesn’t matter what anyone has to say about Sarah Palin. For the single largest  voting block in America, Evangelical Hillbillies are going to adore her and vote for her no matter what. She represents that dim bulb mentality they can cling to as we have seen with Dan Quayle, George W. Bush, Tammy Fae Bakker, Steve King, Glenn Beck and Joe the Plumber.

I especially enjoyed his comparison of Sarah Palin to Erin Brockovich. Only in the minds of the Palinease can a woman who fought against big business for the health of the little guy be considered the same as one who fights against the health of the little guy in defense of big business. You see, it’s the same thing. It’s equal to. The media has to be fair. Well except Fox News who has more viewers than all the rest put together.  Sarah Palin is the same as  Hillary Clinton, Rachel Maddow is the same as Glenn Beck, Joe the Plumber is the same as David Stockman. Sean Hannity is the same as Bob Woodward. And the bleat goes on.
