Just say no ... to Palin

Haven't we had enough of America's Dunce Governor yet?

Apparently not, as Sarah Palin has been inundated of late with offers to do TV shows -- even host her own show. Even more shocking, the Alaska governor and former GOP vice presidential candidate, who barely can put together a coherent sentence, is fielding book offers.

"Tomorrow, Governor Palin could do an interview with any news media on the planet," said her spokesman, Bill McAllister. "Tomorrow, she could probably sign any one of a dozen book deals. She could start talking to people about a documentary or a movie on her life. That's the level we are at here."

"Barbara Walters called me. George Stephanopoulos called me," McAllister said. "I've had multiple conversations with producers for Oprah, Letterman, Leno and 'The Daily Show.'"

Palin is considering about 800 requests for appearances from December through 2009, with 75 percent coming from out of state. A year ago, just a sprinkle of requests came from beyond Alaska's borders. They range from invitations to speak at The Chief Executives' Club of Boston to attend a 5-year-old's birthday party, from a prayer breakfast in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to a business conference in Britain.

Michael Steele, the former Maryland lieutenant governor who wants to be the next chairman of the Republican National Committee, is seeking face time.

She has invitations to make appearances in 20 foreign countries, typically with all expenses paid, McAllister said. She has more than 200 requests for media interviews, again from around the globe.

Please spare us the Palinmania. This is truly ridiculous. The woman who even managed to screw up the ceremonial pardoning of a turkey, who singlehandedly ensured, if not caused, the landslide loss of the Republican presidential ticket, is now the toast of the nation? Give me a break.

On the other hand, maybe her proposed book is a coloring book ... at least that would make sense.
