For more than a year, Sarah Palin has been one of the most famous political and cultural figures in the country. Even by that standard, though, last week was an extraordinary one.
On Thursday came word that the former Alaska governor was working on a TV series about her home state, currently being pitched by one of television's top producers. A day before that, her publishers announced she was embarking on a second book, a follow-up to her blockbuster "Going Rogue."
And a day before THAT, she was the prize guest on Jay Leno's second day back as host of "Tonight" show, along with Olympic champion Shaun White and "American Idol" star Adam Lambert. She ruminated on politics, praising the Tea Party movement, and on journalism, discussing her gig as a Fox analyst. Then she went behind a curtain and returned to perform a full standup comedy routine.
"The truth is, though, I'm glad that I'm not vice president," she said. "I would not know what to do with all that free time." Ba dum bum.
A little politics, a little journalism, and a whole lotta celebrity, all in a week's work. (Her foray to an Oscar gift suite made news, too.) But toward what end? A 2012 presidential bid? A daily talk show? An Oprah-like dominance of the pop culture sphere? Everybody's dying to know Palin's plans, and that makes her celebrity all the more potent.(continued)

Sarah will announce her intentions in January of 2013.
Ohh Goody it’s time for the 2 or 3 times a week 2ndDivisionVet “Let’s slime/slam Sarah thread”.
Palin is obviously a political celebrity. As to her intentions for office, well....we’ll see.
How did you pass the ASVAB to join the Navy? No, really! I have very publicly proclaimed that I will raise $2 million dollars for Governor Palin if she runs, does that sound like someone I wish to "slam" as you put it? We need to know what the presstitutes are writing about. If all we did was post "rah-rah" articles on Free Republic it'd whither away and die in a week!! Get with the program!
Sarah is showing she can multi-task in addition to taking care of her husband and family. Not bad.
She is out Nadering Ralph Nader. Nader never held elected public office nor held any executive position in the private sector. He has run for POTUS four times and was never investigated, castigated or ridiculed by the MSM.
He did however, latch on to the *green* movement and made it his own.
IMHO - Sarah is stating her case and drawing many to the cause of conservatism in a very persuasive, positive way.
“How did you pass the ASVAB to join the Navy?” LOL!!!
