What is is about Governor Sarah Palin and the media? Last night she was in DC to give a speech and thus could not attend the White House Correspondents Dinner.
She DID go to two after parties to meet some people and catch up with her daughter Bristol who was in town for the dinner.
But what is fascinating to watch is how the media (all of them!) just can't get enough of Governor Sarah Palin. They were all taking pictures of her with themselves for souvenirs and writing about her. She was prominent in the Washington Post coverage, Politico and I think the New York Times. Her name and picture was everywhere!(continued)

Our children and grandchildren would be much safer if the MSM were as obsessed with truth as they are with Sarah Palen.
I can't agree with you, DV. They're both.
I would love a Palin/West ticket!
There is no evidence - none whatsoever - that Colonel West is either qualified or ready to be President.
Wait a minute. Palin is yesterday’s news, and can’t possibly be taken seriously as a presidential contender. I mean, this just makes no sense at all!
This can only be explained by the media’s fascination with celebrity. Yeah, that’s it. I’m sure of it.
The fact that she’s driving public policy from her Twitter and Facebook accounts can’t have anything to do with this, ha ha ha!..........can it?
That didn’t stop Obama, did it?
...and Sarah Palin.
People flock to winners and Palin is a winner.
The LSM will be inconsolable if she runs and wins.
I can’t wait.
Hee Hee.
Our children and grandchildren would be much safer if the MSM were as obsessed with truth as they are with Sarah Palen.
Sarah Palin is truth and the MSM hates her. They are obsessed with denigrating Palin and the truths that she speaks. They are not friends of America and they need to be ignored.
He knows who our enemies are and as a military man he knows how to deal with enemies. These qualities are vital to our survival. He and Palin would be a dynamite combination. They are both truth tellers and honorable American citizens.
Example. Current squatter in White House.
The MSM hates truth all right. That’s a certainty. They don’t seem to like the USA any better, and the American people would be very wise to ignore them.
That's not much of an argument.
There she goes again - once again the has-been, publicity-hungry, Sarah Palin manages to grab the spotlight!
(sarcasm off). Can anyone seriously imagine Romney or any other possible GOP challenger to Obama commanding even a scintilla of interest if they had been there? Would anyone have cared - let alone having their photo pasted front & center on Vanity Fair?
This is one more confirmation that Sarah is a phenomenon, and the ONLY candidate that has a chance of beating Obama. The woman steals the show and makes headlines just by showing up, and even her enemies grovel for a photo with her.
This time, let’s not let the MSM choose our candidate for us! Sarah just took it to the heart of the beast inside the Beltway; she came, she saw, and she conquered, and it speaks volumes about who we should be looking at to lead us in 2012.
[He and Palin would be a dynamite combination.]
A Palin/West combo would be pretty bold, now wouldn’t it.
I think they know what is about to happen in 2012. They want access and want to be seen with her. It gives them cred to be seen with her. To be seen with her certainly benefits them more than it does Sarah.
It’s all about leadership. Palin and any other conservative would be great, including West. We’ll see.
>>...There is no evidence - none whatsoever - that Colonel West is either qualified or ready to be President...<<
Compared to *who*? And exactly what evidence is there that he *isn’t* qualified?
I’ll grant you that he is not the dazzlingly-deceitful, polished, preening and pretentious “chosen-few” used-car-sales-sluts we normally get stuck with, but I wouldn’t deny him the opportunity to run and make his case because of it. Would you?
