6. Because her brain-dead fans keep watching her shows and buying her books.

If you are one of these people, then you've no one to blame but yourself for giving your hard-earned money to that block-headed hamhock. That's why her bank account looks better than yours.

Getting rich is not a sign of personal worth.

Alan Lerner once posited that, just as there are people who have a talent for singing, and nothing else, there are those who have a talent for making money, and nothing else. With Palin, of course, it's less talent, and more greed and a lack of scruples.

The chuckleheads at the Conservative Political Action Conference nearly soiled themselves with delight the other day as they guffawed at this snarky comment from Sarah Palin about Barack Obama:

“Mr. President, we admit it: you won. Accept it. Now step away from the Teleprompter and do your job.”

Of course, this was just the latest in a long line of such comments from right-wingers who seem to think that none of their heroes use Teleprompters.

The irony — nay, hypocrisy — in this case is that Palin’s speech to the CPAC crowd was read from a Teleprompter, as the photo above makes clear.

There’s nothing ignoble about using a Teleprompter. The device is simply a substitute for text or notes written on paper or cards. On at least one occasion, Sarah Palin found herself without a Teleprompter and referred instead to notes she had written on the PALM OF HER HAND.

Shit, Democrats (and most Independents) have known that since she was asked by Katie Couric, "What do you read?" (Those crafty, elitist liberal media types, trying to catch salt-of-the-earth Real Americans like Palin with impossibly difficult questions like that! )
