For God’s Sake, Sarah! Tell us what you’re doing!!

Speaking as a some-time member of the corporate media, let me just say that Sarah Palin’s recent Bus Tour has been driving me nuts. Not only won’t Palin tell the Media what the main purpose of the tour is, aside from the hazy patriotic gibberish, but she hardly gives the “Lamestream Media” the time of day!
Now, I understand that Palin quit her job as Governor of Alaska half-way through and that it’s highly unlikely she’ll ever hold a political office again. But what is the bus tour about!?
Also, I know she effectively tanked the floundering John McCain Presidential candidate when millions of Americans reacted to her with a shudder. But why is she touring the nation?!
Really, everyone, I get it. Sarah Palin sits around and demagogues all day. She has no real plan on anything. She still doesn’t seem to understand domestic policy, foreign policy or reading. The nation has utterly soured on her and she has no place in political discourse.
But she’s on a bus! And not talking to us! What is happening?!
I mean, all I want is to get a picture taken with her and get her autograph. C’mon, Sarah, lighten up!

I suspect that she’s the reincarnation of Andy Kaufman. This seems like something he would do. I can just imagine him and Bob Zmuda (who takes the form of “Todd Palin” these days) getting together and Andy/Sarah saying, “Okay, let’s see how far we can take this. We’ll get on a bus, and make some speeches, and then we’ll totally ditch the press.”
And then Bob/Todd laughs, “Yeah! And let’s visit some random towns that have nothing to do with the national election. We can go to Gettysburg, and sneak out of the hotel early and leave the bus out front, so the press will think we’re still there! Genius!”
Andy/Sarah says, “We need to work on some new patriotic material. Maybe we can just mash together a bunch of nonsense about how much I love the country, or being a mama grizzly.”
Bob/Todd opens his laptop. “Done and done.”

I could be wrong, but I doubt it. I’m right about everything. Always.
Palin is just giving CNN something to do. Since CNN apparently has nothing better to do.
[...] affect Palin’s decision to make a run for the White House. After all, she’s just another bus tour away from getting more media publicity than all the other GOP candidates [...]
