Why, the hell, is this even an issue?

I too have wondered why this was ever an issue, and why it remains one now. Palin and whassisname lost so why is she still being investigated by the press? Well, I think there are three reasons.

1. Palin sells. People love or loathe her, and that sells.
2. They need to destroy her for 2012. The press created a perception that she is a bubble head, they know it won't last so unless they pounce relentlessly now she will be back. They have a short window to destroy her, and they will take it.
3. They would much rather write breathless gossip about Sarah Palin than cover Obama's past associations, backing off of campaign promises, etc. Magicians call it misdirection.
