Politically, Sarah Palin jumped the shark in most American's minds long ago. With any luck, her new book will put the matter to rest:
I imagine Anna Marie Cox's judgement that "this book describes an alternate universe" is a pretty accurate but gentle summation of what Palin's perspective must be. Conservative David Brooks was not as gentle:
Between her book release and multiple prime time interviews, the possibility of Palin fatigue is hopefully very real, and all this exposure may backfire on her yet.
However, I'm actually conflicted on this; as insufferable as this woman is, her mere existence hurts the Republican party, especially if she continues to pose as a serious politician. Her ability to produce fodder for satire is virtually unmatched, as is her deranged followers' reverence of her. For the rest of us, all of this is amusing to watch and helpful when demonstrating a point, but is that worth having to endure years upon years of Palinisms like these?
