Is Sarah Palin Really Still Relevant?

In noting CNN’s article: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/22/palin.popularity.oprah.ap/index.html

I can’t help but wonder why the hell we are still talking about Sarah “the brain” Palin. Really? Everyone wants to interview her? Book deals? MOVIES?!? Have we lost our collective minds? Movies?!?! Why do we care about a close minded, baby producing machine who happens to be the governor of our Arctic state? Surely we really can’t still be interested in anything she has to say (frankly, as soon as you say that Creationism should be taught in schools alongside Evolution, you lose all credibility as a human being) unless you want to know what window of the helicopter she chooses to shoot out of when hunting moose.

We are a society obsessed with celebrity but this is absurd. She was John McCain’s running mate because she was a woman, she was hot and she shared the comically absurd views of the Evangelical base. She is the flavor of the month or she SHOULD have been the flavor of the month. The fact that we are keeping this flatliner on life support is infuriating.
