I don't know which category this one should go in but here's something else: she's sick of all the BAD attention.
The way I see her life is now is like when a person's in-laws come to live with them. After so many years of doing what you want, walking around the house naked, having ice-cream for breakfast, and having loud sex, suddenly there is someone breathing down your shoulder, telling you what you what to do, what not to do, and how to do things etc.
The fun is over.
That's how Palin has been living it up in Alaska. Up until a year ago when McCain "tapped" her to become VP no one cared what was happening in Alaska: wolf hunting? whatever. Scandal? who cares? Ethics violations? Not our business. I mean, just look at how long Ted Stevens lasted up there without ever being investigated or bothered by the lower 48? Before now, what happened in Alaska, stayed in Alaska.
Since last summer though the national media has been on her, and after a year she's realized that it sucks to be scrutinized so much. Don't get me wrong, I'm not sympathizing with her, and I do think that ALL of the points Cenk brought up abive are completely valid. I just think its funny that now that the grown-ups are watching, Palin can't keep up her previous lifestyle of not giving a fuck and "bending" the law left and right. The bottom line is, among other things, its no more fun to be governor:( So sad...
That, and, all the national media attention has only served to uncover the real Palin. Turns out, she's really really stupid and can't even piece two words together to make a sentence. She was able to fool the Alaskan people, but not Katie Couric.
Looks like the queen is naked.
