Sarah Palin has been in the news lately for no longer being in the news. Providing, of course that you call Fox news. Mostly Sarah is now the butt of jokes, like here. Yes, Sarah is done. She made a lot of money, and may make more in the future, but her days of high profile grifting are over, and I just want to say I told you so, even though I told you so while wrongly predicting she’d run in 2012:
For a number of Republicans, running for President has nothing to do with actually wanting to be President-it’s a money making move. Sarah has found, in recent months, that even the idiot media can in fact get enough of her if she’s not in the game. Her shelf life has nearly expired and the only way to reinvigorate it is for her to get back in the mix. She can keep her brand in the black for years after the next election, because after she loses she can play the victim of the media, the Democrats, and the Republican establishment, which she can blame for denying her the nomination she doesn’t really want. She could potentially grift for at least four more years nursing that grievance, and go out with an avalanche of cash in 2012 by going the distance as a third party candidate. If she doesn’t get back in the game she’ll just be another Christine O’Donnell, reduced to walking off of a TV set just to generate some short term buzz.

Poor Sarah, she didn’t even get to do that walk off. She was kicked off instead.
Addendum: I put this post in the “Sarah Palin” category. This is probably the last time I use that category, making it one of many orphans in the strip running down the right hand side of the page. Perhaps none of those orphans acquired that status faster than the “Mitt Romney” category. Remember him? He ran for president once.
