If Sarah Palin is so stupid, unimportant, and politically insignificant...

then why is everyone following her around and trying to figure out what she's doing?

Logging on to Memeorandum this morning (something I rarely do), I was confronted by not one, not two, but three top articles covering Sarah and her tour.

Politico, a scurvy site to be sure, breathlessly exclaims "Palin in Gettysburg as Day 3 begins."

CNN gets top billing at Memeorandum for "Palin fakes out reporters at Gettysburg hotel."

Some other person from CNN reports: Iowa-bound Palin: Republican presidential field will change

Love the comments and added my thoughts to the mix:

Does anyone really care what this bimbo does or says? She is just so irrelevant. Really? Then why does she make headlines day after day?

Stop reporting on this idiotic, ignorant celebrity. Please. Just. Stop. But, but - you took the time to read it, didn't you?

Palin looks ridiculous,.. trying to look tough with her leather jacket and riding on the back of a motorcycle,.. she should stick to her tricycle,.. and what's with the helmet?.. there's no danger of damaging anything upstairs. I think she looked pretty hot.

Political grandstanding instead of actually participating in a memorial day service is tells where her priorities are.  I believe Rolling Thunder is a Memorial Day service. Might I remind you that your president, after spending as little time as he could on Memorial Day commitments, played golf for the 70th time since being elected?  How many golfers had their Memorial Day ruined because that fool was on the course?

John Carey, over at Sentry Journal,  has some thoughts on why Sarah drives the loony left even loonier:

Why does Sarah Palin drive the left so crazy? Why do they attack her academic credentials, her intelligence, and even her family? In my opinion I believe it’s because she’s real. What I mean by this is with her what you see is what you get and this drives the left absolutely bonkers. She’s grounded in strong conservative principles, unwavering in her faith, and devoted to her family; all that the far left abhors and fears. And finally she connects with the conservative base and this troubles the establishment. read the rest

 Meantime, Congressman Weiner is still playing with his Weiner - or something. His weiner manages to get 8 headlines on Memorandum.  

Stacy McCain has been providing coverage (and thank goodness that weiner was covered) on Weinergate.
