Why should I care about Sarah Palin and her granddaughter?

[Drunken Irishman]

She's nothing.

She's irrelevant.

She's done.

We can only hope in four years American will have forgotten that nightmare.

It's kind of like Stephen King's IT, we'd be lucky if she came every 27 years for her one-year reign of terror.

1. She's the governor of the state I live in, and I could give a rat's ass about her

.
.

Why are we even talking about her?

[tularetom]

2. Who said you should?

I'll fight for your right not to give a shit about Palin her granddaughter or the moose she shot illegally.

[Starry Messenger]

3. I don't actually. But some people seem fascinated.

[SwampG8r]

16. great movie

[Starry Messenger]

20. I enjoyed it as well.

[billyoc]

4. I got nuthin'...

:shrug:

5. the same reason we're supposed to care about Brittany Spears

they're all celebrities

and Palin is just a bit better because she's a governor-I'd still take drunken Brittany over her sorry ass

[Drunken Irishman]

7. At least no one takes Spears seriously and she doesn't spew hate.

People actually take what Palin says seriously.

[davidinalameda]

19. Palin spews gibberish

maybe it's that pentecostal talking in tongues thing that only wingnuts can understand

[democrattotheend]

6. Was the baby born?

I thought Bristol was expecting a son.

[Lasher]

8. Was due December 20

Must be late.

I've been wondering if she ever gave the clothes back like she said she would. Good luck finding anything about that in the news.

9. as much as Repukes would say different ...

we're talking welfare mom & grandmom ...

[pecwae]

10. I have no idea.

[MyNameGoesHere]

11. DAMMIT! this is why you should care.

I love that chart for baby names lol.

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. Off-center comic relief, perhaps?

Other than that, there's nothing there worth caring about.

[acmavm]

13. Forget her grandkid, that kid's irrelevant. B ut you'd better care

about Sarah. Four years from now the whacked out fundie freakshow crowd will haul her pathetic ass out of mothballs and subject us to her inability for form coherent sentences and stupidity once again.

[LiberalFighter]

18. They are both interwoven as far as being relevant.

By keeping an eye on what is happening with the baby. If it happens. We can better slap anything she brings up down.

There are probably holes in her story about the pregnancy and they had probably figured the story would cover other holes.

[RichGirl]

14. Bad news regarding Palin...

...is good news for the country and world because, hopefully, it will keep her out of politics. I don't wish her ill will, I wish her the best in a field that she is better suited.

[ErinBerin84]

15. yes

I don't even really care about the future mother in law/oxy thing. It's not really Bristol and Levi's fault that Sarah Palin is a moron with absolutely no grasp of her limitations. David Brooks said on the Chris Matthews show yesterday that Sarah Palin should "hang up the towel" and "she had her time"...it was in response to a question "Whose time is up?" and the options were like "Joe the plumber", etc. And Brooks said "None of the above, Sarah Palin." Brooks sucks, but I had never heard him say it AS blunt as that. In fact, the whole Chris Matthews panel seemed kind of drunk and giggly yesterday. But Brooks, you're definitely on the "red state" list now, watch out.

[Clio the Leo]

17. Because, otherwise, you'll be wondering who that extra kid is...

.... following her around on the campaign trail in 2012.

[Neshanic]

21. It's cheap and tawdry. So sue me. I love the stuff about them.

[zulchzulu]

22. Should a baby born out of wedlock make a grandmother proud?

I'm sure Sarah would love to hold the baby for the cameras and as a prop, but does she really think it's OK for her daughter to have a baby out of wedlock?

I don't care, but isn't she supposed to be playing Queen Morality?
