Please Stop

Look. Please stop writing these pieces about whether or not Sarah Palin will run for president. And, if you do write them, at least make an honest effort to figure out who it will help and hurt. She hasn’t done any legwork. Her negatives are historic. She’s an imbecile. And she’ll surely quit before she’s technically defeated. I know you have to take a former vice-presidential candidate at least somewhat seriously, but I’d rather hear speculation about Dan Quayle, frankly. He’s a far more serious and qualified person than Palin. She hasn’t made the faintest sign that she’s running, despite what Karl Rove says. And the only threat she poses is to other candidates who are relying on her know-nothing constituency.
