Not a new thing..........

As GOP former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin kicks off a national book tour this week, there are some unlikely voices cheering "You go, girl!" - hard-core Democrats and progressives who hope Palin's 15 minutes of fame lasts all the way to 2012.
"She's a legend in her own mind, the dream candidate, the dream opponent," said satirist Joey Green of Los Angeles, author of the tongue-in-cheek "Sarah Palin's Secret Diary," which hit the shelves just as Palin herself is hitting 20 cities to push her memoir, "Going Rogue."
Green, a former National Lampoon contributing editor who describes himself as "so far left, I'm right," offers possible 2012 Palin campaign slogans ("The Barracuda is Back!") in his book. Palin-palooza, he said, is a gold mine for Democrats, thanks to a hockey mom who is "like a sitcom" in politics.
Democratic strategist Garry South says Palin has won the undying support of many of his party's faithful, who are doing all they can to keep her in the spotlight of the national stage.
"I see Democrats at bookstores buying her books by the dozens and trying to keep the book tour going," he said. "She's a magnet for controversy - and that's not what the Republicans need right now."
Even President Obama's adviser David Plouffe told The Chronicle that he hopes Palin will command the airwaves for months to come. "I think she'll be most helpful to the Democratic Party with a high profile," said Plouffe. "I hope her book tour lasts two years."

I hope so too if it means weeding out the unprincipled in the party.
I hope the morons never understand that Sarah WILL BE the game plan.
Delusions from the left. They are in denial about the political volcano that is about to explode and destroy them beyond repair.
This guy is delusional, a dem holding her book would be like Dracula trying to hold a cross..........
15 minutes my a**. Over a year and still growing.
They’re all elitists, who cannot understand the mainstream American.
These are the same people who think our security is enhanced by giving KSM a civilian trial in New York City.
Didn’t they also laugh at Reagan? Bunch of geniuses.
Not a new thing..........
In the big cities like LA, NYC and Chicago they think that Sarahs 15 minutes of fame is up.
Well are they in for a rude awakening. I’ll be shocked if she doesn’t run and win in big in 2012.
I don’t buy this whole “yeah, us libs hope she runs cause she’ll be a disaster”. Fuhgettaboutit, they can’t even stand to look at her. Kind of how I feel about the terrorist-sympathiser-in-chief.
Exactly.
How often do we speak about McCain these days?
Oh, she’ll change the Dem’s game plans alright. Let the fun begin.
I hope Plouffe is Obama’s campaign manager for 2012. He will make all the wrong assumptions about the voters frame of mind.
He will try to use 2008 techniques and arguments.
But these will fail miserably.
The Democraps won’t have George Bush to kick around in 2012. That was their whole platform in 2008.
So come on Plouffe, let’s have at it. Sarah will wipe the floor with you.
Interesting comment, because it's exactly backwards, as in a Goebbels “Big Lie”.
It is the Democrats that are heavily invested in a Republican party that looks Just Like Them — because in a choice between Democrat and Democrat Lite, voters will choose Democrat.
The Republicans desperately need some red meat raising and discussing of real issues like global warming, abortion, the gay agenda, the destruction of capitalism, the WOT, and so forth to distinguish themselves and provide a reason for voters to mobilize and vote. Every single one of these issues is a controversy!
Of course after he left office he became smarter and smarter. By his death, even liberals had an admiration for him and tried to claim they were really on his side ('we all fought against the USSR and we all brought them down').
And I'm calling that claim a flat-out lie... /g
Let’s all laugh at Sarah, but not Saint Obama.
Democrats must be the most disgusting and disingenuous people in America.
Starting at this time 8/29/08 she has had an unusually long flash in the pan, more like magnesium than cooking oil. 43,008 consecutive 15 minute cycles. 43009 now.
I would also advise the Democrats to be careful what they wish for, because they might get a lot more of it than they want.
