Sarah Palin grabbed headlines Tuesday when she said that she would “hopefully” run for office again soon to feed the fire of her “haters.”
Before I continue, I would like to give Palin some props for her meteoric political ascent and…well, that’s all. Kudos there, Palin. Now, please, for the love of everything holy–just stop. Give it up. Your criticisms go way beyond the petty jealousies of “haters.” People–even people within your own party–dislike you because you often say stupid misguided things. Considering that many of the people in your party are known for these kinds of gaffes, you have to understand that the perception of you is pretty low. But, I digress.
She was asked during an interview with Fox Business Channel if her critics had driven her out of political life. The former Alaska governor said that her detractors actually had the opposite effect.
“No, bless their hearts, those haters out there. They don’t understand that it invigorates me, it wants me to get out there and defend the innocent. It makes me want to work so hard for justice in this country,” she said. “So hey, the more they are pouring on, the more I’m gonna bug the crap out of them by being out there with the voice, with the message, hopefully running for office in the future too.”
I honestly don’t know if she knows what “the message” is at this point. No one, except the Fox network, wants to touch her with a ten-foot pole. She has gone from maverick to political pariah, bless her heart. The chances of her holding political office again anytime soon are pretty slim. Let’s hope that it stays that way.
