    I, for one, think she has a lot to offer to the national dialogue. And I tend to lean left.

    Plus, I like her boobs.

    I agree. She is a pop culture figure. Nothing more. She is cashing in.

    She has nice legs too but I bet her ass is lumpy.

    Re: Don't get the fascination...

    Reading some of the comments, I guess it's time she poses for Playboy. That would give that declining rag a much-needed boost.

    Back to the point...I used to be impressed with our leaders. Thinking about some of the great ones from the past: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Robert E. Lee, Ronald Reagan, and some "okay" ones that were thrust into a tough spot, like Lincoln, FDR, and some others, I would marvel and think, I could never measure up. But...

    ...along came Carter, and I said, well, the nation made a mistake. Then, along came Clinton who tarnished the Office, and I thought, hmmm, so much for high character. Then along came GWB, and I thought, another Carter? just on the right side of the political spectrum.

    I am now 100% convinced I could be Prez and do a better job than anyone who has ever held the Office. No, seriously...

    Then, I look at who IS Prez now and who MIGHT be in 2012.....whoa! It's not even a Office I much aspire to. It's tainted!

    Although I have no illusions that I could hold that office, I agree with almost all of your thoughts. We are a pop culture now. Our citizens respond to looks and sound bites, so we get rulers with pop appeal.

    It is hard to see how this can turn around. Nobody will listen to a true debate anymore. Nobody will read a well though out proposal. I'm afraid it may be that we will have to hit rock bottom as a nation and lose our security and comforts before we face the reality that we are a shallow people.

Either way I have a ton of respect for her!
    Yes and yes!

    Shallow, as in: I would vote for Palin for Prez if she promised to pose for Playboy. That kind of shallow?

    Look around the next time you're in a checkout line at the grocery store. I'd say around 75% of the people in line with you wouldn't be able to give you the name of the sitting VP of the US. At least that many would not know the name of their own Representative in Congress. That is as true in New York as it is in Louisiana. The majority of people in our country, as well as everywhere else, are just plain stupid. The election of Obama proved that. It is hard for me to hold out a lot of hope for the future.

    What, you are spending your time looking a people and you don't read the magazines at the checkout line? Are you telling me you don't believe that Hillary Clinton and Rush Limbaugh were abducted by aliens, and now she is going to have his baby? I was going to invite you to go to Wrestlemania with me, but not now.

    The fascination is simply that she is the hottest politician in the country.

    Nay, in the history of our country. Well, at least the ones I know of.

    We need to bring back literacy test and property ownership requirements to vote.

    RACIST!



    Literacy or intelligence test I can go with. Property ownership not so much.
