Fox-y lady: Palin as politician, journalist or celebrity?

Sarah Palin took a leave of absence from her Russia-watching post in Alaska to become a Fox News contributor. Who could have seen that coming? She represents diversity on Fox as that network's only non-blonde correspondent.

It was either that or become the fashion editor for Field and Stream magazine.

As I have said for some time, Sarah Palin is not who I want to see in the White House. I would, however, like to see her in a White Snake music video in which she shakes out her hair, takes off her glasses and dances.

The only reason many of us occasionally take her side is the way the left-wing media savage her. Americans like to rally behind someone who is being picked on. The media might as well stop the Palin-bashing; I think the more Americans see of her, the less we will like her anyway. But the "elite" media do not trust Americans to form their own opinions, so they snipe at those whom they dislike.
