DONE WITH SARAH!

Is it 14:59 or 15:01 for Sarah Palin? Is she deserving of all this attention or is she just attention starved?

Think about like this – how many times do you hear about the losing vice-presidential candidate three months after the national election is complete?

When the Alaska Governor bursts onto the national political scene at the end of August it was hard not to like her. She had so much going for her. A seemingly good family life. The leader of healthy state that was taking steps of improvement. And hey, let’s be honest here, she was an attractive woman and that never hurts, right? Now it seems like her time in the spotlight needs to end. Her 15 minutes of fame seem complete.

Like many people I enjoyed Palin when she was introduced to the nation. Now it seems she wants continued attention. In fact, she is seemingly acting like a 13-year old who wants whatever she asks for. Almost a brat if you will. She is actively pursuing a book deal but no one is currently signing on. She wants prime time at the National Governor conference and ticking people off. She was reportedly complaining (although she denies it) about not getting enough attention on election night. You almost want to tell her to get over herself. Please swallow your ego a little harder and please try a little more humble pie.

Far be it from me to stay in complete judgment of Palin. Granted the media has a certain fascination with her and that has probably influenced some of my rant. In comparing her media time with Joe Biden the ratio of TV face time has to 6-to-1 in favor of Palin. Shoot, she is still getting more media time after losing.

So I ask again – 14:59 or 15:01. At least for me, it’s 16:00 and counting …
