Sounding off!

I'm a news junkie and I watch CNN much of the time.  I'm also an independent thinker regarding politics and many other topics.  My mother raised me... back in the day... that we should never discuss politics, race or religion.  I guess it was in bad taste in her era for a woman to do so. 

Things have changed, and I'm no longer willing to live exclusively by what my mother taught me.  I have a voice and an opinion and today I need to vent.  Subject:  Sarah Palin.  Ughhh - right? 

Will this woman ever get it that her 15 minutes of fame are over?  Now she's playing this little cat and mouse game, using this *One Nation* tour she's on, keeping people wondering what her real purpose in doing this is... dropping little innuendos here and there, but never saying much of substance - which, now that I think about it, isn't much beyond the norm for her. 

It just makes my blood boil at times because I would love to see a woman in the White House one day.. a woman who actually knows something about our great nation and the world beyond and can stand up there with the big boys without quaking in her shoes.  Please let that woman be someone of credibility and not just a person who can't go five minutes without needing to see her name in the press or her face on TV. 

How dare Sarah Palin criticize our President with regard to our great fighting forces.  Does she not know that diplomacy is part of the President's job?  And what would happen if she were to get into the White House and she comes to a bump in her road?  Will she leave the job for a book deal or reality TV show then too? 

Good Lord, I am so sick of seeing her mug all over the news.  Almost makes me want to turn the TV off..... almost.
