At what point will this become an issue? Never??

She is a joke. And the MSM still shows her speeches and talks about her talking points.

Even though she is a coward and not facing a question!

10. Laughing...
In this case I was laughing at the "show deference" quote from the McCain camp.

3. Hardlt anybody takes her seriously any more.
Informed voters don't care because they already know what a moron she is. Ignorant voters don't watch the news anyway, so they don't care either.

7. I think that they see her as the only way this becomes a true race again -
they fear they are losing eyeballs as Obama's lead consolidates. The corporations that own the media gain when people watch. To me, it is as simple as that.

9. In 2012, her uppance will come
Barring something totally unforeseen, Sarah Palin will not be elected vice president.

She will likely run for president in 2012. That means she will be off to New Hampshire and Iowa for bean suppers, Rotary meetings, and such. Not just staged mega-events, but retail campaigning.

If she tries to keep up this act, she will get crucified. NH and IA expect candidates to be accessible, and if she tries to stay in her shell, she will be crushed at the polls.

13. She refuses to take questions, refuses to allow her adoring fans to be
interviewed by the media, encourages her adoring fans to verbally and/or physically assault members of the media, and the press corpse still treats her events like a "breaking news" story. :eyes:

I guess the media is into being bullied, kicked around, insulted, and assaulted. They're into the rough stuff.

:argh:
