Let us face the facts: Sarah Palin is famous for being stupid.
She was an underprepared governor who was selected by John McCain to try to swing the tide of the Obama-McCain race. McCain’s thinking was probably: If she’s great, I win the election. If she’s not I’m going to lose, but I was already going to lose so why not go for it all with one move.
Unfortunately for McCain, Palin was clearly unprepared to serve as president, rendering his plan a failure.
Since the 2008 presidential election, Palin has basically adopted the life of Paris Hilton while staying in Alaska. Palin is constantly reported on by the media, she is constantly made fun of and now she’s reportedly looking for a TV deal.
The latest line of celebrity news from the former Alaska governor is about everything in her book. The thing I find the most humanizing aspect of Palin’s life was the unexpected pregnancy of her daughter. Here’s what Palin had to say about it…
When Sarah Palin found out that her daughter Bristol was expecting a baby, she was doubly surprised – the governor of Alaska wasn’t even aware that the teen was having sex.
“That’s why I was so shocked,” Palin tells Barbara Walters in a new interview. “Truthfully, we were devastated.”
Quite simply, Bristol Palin’s pregnancy was so interesting because it put Palin through a true morale/political test. Either abort the baby in the attempt to save face throughout the election or have it and stick to your morale guns (though it makes you look like a complete hypocrite) while campaigning.
This was one decision Palin made that I supported.
What do you think? Is Palin the next Paris Hilton? Is she now?

Sarah Palin is famous because she is pretty and perky. She’s more Katie Couric than she is Paris Hilton.
As far as I know Palin has never made a sex tape, which puts her outside the Hilton category right there.
I’m not a fan of Palin, or even a supporter. But her folksy conservatism appeals to a lot of people, just as Ronald Reagan did (and he was also criticized as an intellectual fly-weight.)

Last time I checked Sarah, Palin, Paris and Hilton were all proper nouns, so they need to be capitalized – that is unless it’s the “cool” thing not not to capitalize.
