As Sarah Palin continues getting richer and more influential, speculation keeps ratcheting up about what her ultimate plans are. Politicians, even those with another ghost-written book out, don’t visit Iowa in late November without a serious agenda. Those weighing in on Palin’s political prospects, from cable talking heads to serious political insiders, routinely opine about her presidential-candidate potential.
Those who suggest otherwise typically reason that she is just too good at being a headline-grabbing, money-magnet celebrity to have to relegate herself to serious-politician status.
To date, none of the usual pundits and partisan pols have been willing to give the bottom-line rationale for Palin to pass on presidential aspirations. That is, she’s an under-educated, woefully uninformed, phony, pandering, divisive diva who shouldn’t be Peter Principled into the most important job in the world. We’re talking America’s-epitaph material here.
Thanks again, John McCain.
