That lady who ran for VP

Andrew Sullivan has an obsession with Sarah Palin that is unhealthy. I would like her just to crawl away and never be heard from again. In the end, I think that's what will happen. She's a darling to some base of Republicans who could never elect anyone without the help of moderates. Her worldview is similar to Mike Huckabee, who unlike Sarah Palin, is genuinely likeable and intelligent. I find it difficult to believe that given a choice between two otherwise similar candidates, people would pick the ignorance and arrogance of Sarah Palin over the obvious appeal of Mike Huckabee. The best way to deal with Sarah Palin is to ignore her until she fades into oblivion.

That said, Sullivan had a funny post about her today that has nothing to do with her as a politician or national figure. It's just kind of funny. Apparently she was SUPER excited about getting to see Ivana Trump one time, because she brought a "semblance of glamour and culture" to Alaska. That's funny, right?
