I've become more and more disgusted with Gov. Palin as I keep seeing news accounts of her continued in-fighting with fellow veterans of the defeated McCain campaign.

It appears that she still doesn't realize she was never anything more than a gimmick. A last ditch effort to win the White House by a campaign that knew the proverbial writing was on the wall and their only hope was to start chucking Hail Mary passes early in the third quarter!

She is not currently and never was taken seriously by serious people on any of the grave matters of national policy that critically need to be addressed.

In short, she was and remains a joke.

A bad joke.

The kind of bad joke that is often repeated  in order to make fun of the person who thought that it would be funny. "Can you believe he/she thought people would laugh at THAT? What an idiot!"

Based on the tone of her attacks on her opponents I don't feel she is entitled to any kid gloves or benefit of the doubt now. She knew what she was doing so I don't feel any pity for the utter fool she is currently making of herself. In that sense, the constant back and forth over just how much of a buffoon she really was and remains is sort of entertaining. It's just that this dog and pony show has gotten really old, really quickly.

Gov. Palin, for your own sake: Please, just fade away quietly into the background.

You were not a realistic national candidate and you're less of one now than you were before. Save yourself and your family the further humiliation and just go back to obscurity in Alaska. Based on the levels of continued support for a corrupt and disgraced Senator, you'll fit right in!

p.s. Anyone else find it hysterical that this candidate who was allergic to reporters during the campaign seemingly now can't get enough of them?
