(Some of the "rocket scientists" on this thread seem to have forgotten that THEY asked HER to be on the show. Sarah Palin didn't put a gun to anyone's head).
And why did they do that? Because of her talent? Because of her accomplishments? Because of her contributions in other areas? They chose her for one reason; because a certain number of people will watch just to point fingers and stare at her. She's the reality TV equivilent of a circus side-show act.
