The media pundits on all sides are abuzz with speculation on whether or not Sarah Palin will soon announce her candidacy for the 2012 presidential race. Rumor has it that she will announce by the end of this month. That means either today or tomorrow.
Frankly, I don't care either way. Unfortunately, the media do seem to care -- a lot.
Palin is easy headline fodder, and so they are more than happy to eat right out of her hands, giving her the attention she craves with very little real work required on Palin's part.
Palin has become the Paris Hilton of politics -- famous for being famous (and photogenic), with or without a real job.
And that I why I suspect she will not run. It would require real work, unnecessary work.
Because the lazy media would rather cover her every irrelevant move than deal with the real problems facing this nation and the world -- like the bankers who go unpunished after causing the economic crisis that continues to drag on, and the Bush administration's war crimes which remain unpunished.
Ironically, these are the same media that Palin routinely criticizes.
Like Palin, I guess the media just don't want to do too much work.
