Sarah Palin sure is milking this David Letterman thing, isn't she? 

The thing that cracks me up is how now she's the one pimping out her kids to keep this little tempest in a teapot at full-boil.  She's worse than a slutty airline stewardess, she's a media crackwhore!

The eagerness and zeal with which Palin attacked back doesn't show strength of character, but a complete lack of it.  Which should, at this point, surprise no one.  She's like someone who when offended screams at her offender: "get some class, douchebag!"  Someone you can imagine screeching: "be polite, asshole!"  Explaining to the crowd in the supermarket parking lot gathering for the cat fight: "That bitch called me a whore!"

And she doesn't seem to understand the difference between a late-night comedian making off-color jokes and a desperate politician grubbing for air-time.  These are not in any way equal entities.  Comedians are paid to say what people are thinking.  Politicians are paid not to.  If you don't understand the rules, you shouldn't play the game.

But Palin's got her own little game going.  Called "Stay in The Spotlight."  Or at least in the proximity of the spotlight until the next presidential election cycle, by which time, if the Republican Party still exists, it will either be a slightly bigger circus tent to accommodate all the clowns, or a heavily-armed and barricaded hillbilly militia.  Either way, Palin's got a shot at the top-slot.

I hate to say it, but it almost makes you want to root for Romney.
