It's called a "publicity stunt," you jackasses
Dear news media:
Mrs. Palin is touring the country in order to remain the center of attention. I'm sure she is thrilled to oblige you.
She certainly has no intention of running for President. She quit being governor of one of the least-populated states, apparently because it was too much work. I have no doubt that having to talk to all those dirty foreigners and having even more people say bad things about her in the newspapers is the very last thing in this world that she wants.
She makes a lot more money, has a lot less responsibility, and draws rather less critical analysis of her babble when she's a one-woman carnival.
I don't mind you feeding the attention-whore, but please do so accurately. She's on a par with Snooki, Paris Hilton, and the entire Kardashian family. Dignifying her with political aspirations is like suggesting Snooki is going to enter a zendo and take up a life of quiet mindfulness.
