I just realized why Sarah Palin keeps getting put in the news and not just because she is a whore for attention. She's easy.
Sarah Palin backers like her because she is simple and reminds them of themselves. This gives them hope that after attending their 5th college and marrying a meat head they could still be a successful reality TV star. Americans love to dream, and for the simpletons she represents the things they aspire to do but will never accomplish.
Conversely Palin haters put her on TV because she represents the easy example of the complete lack of intelligence that is present in today's conservative movement. We think that by pointing out her faults people will realize the she is the least intelligent politician since George W. Bush and they won't support her any more.
The real problem here is that neither side is right. As much as Palin backers wish it were true, successful people tend to be smart or at the very least extremely good at something and Sarah supporters, by in large, are neither. And as much as I wish it were true, Sarah supporters are not smart enough to realize how clueless they are so expecting them to view things rationally is like expecting Joe Lieberman to be loyal.
