It's been a crazy two years of Palin-mania, hasn't it? I was reminiscing the other day about all the crazy she's given us, and began debating her best moment. So much good material to judge!
After some deliberation, I decided this was my favorite:
First, this:
Then, just three months later, this:
Palin had announced on Twitter that she would be running the 5k race organized by the Benton-Franklin Chapter of the Red Cross.
She didn't finish the race, opting to leave the course early to avoid more crowds at the end. About 40 minutes into the run, word started trickling out to people gathered at the finish line that she was gone.
But here's why I love this --
Palin is an attention monger, selling herself as a big runner with a splashy magazine layout in a premier running magazine. Yet given the chance to actually, you know, run, she couldn't even finish a measly 5K run.
Is there a better anecdote to illustrate the essence of Sarah?
So watch, she'll make noise about running for president in 2012, but when push comes to shove, she doesn't have the work ethic to actually campaign. She'll bask in the attention, sell lots of books, and get $100K per speech.
But the second it becomes hard work, she'll call it quits.
