Re: The Mass Marketing of Sara Palin

Pretty much spot on 23914. But the same could be said about many politicians in today's age. And even going back further. It is a time old tradition. And it crosses party lines. Probably equally. In this case, a woman was picked out of obscurity with nothing more going for her then she was a young, fresh face that looked good in a skirt and lipstick. And she was thrust on the national stage, and yeah, those interviews and speeches she gave during the campaign are embarrassing to look at. Those are the times we live in. And we do live in different times from yesteryear, so she has parlayed this lottery win into a phenomenom, and millions of dollars, and the facebooking and tweeting. And to be fair, there was a demand for it so she seized the bull by the horns, so to speak. Could have easily been someone else, including a Democrat. Those are just the times we are in now......
