Sarah Palin, Desperate for Attention
"I'd rather be doing this than be in some stuffy, old, political office." I see Sarah Palin's new show on TLC simply as a cry for attention. As obvious from the quote from the preview, she is a little bitter about the last presidential elections because if she wasn't, then why would she even run for president if she doesn't enjoy the job? I find this new series to be quite ridiculous, in part because political leaders should not be involved with entertainment, other than in short, isolated instances. Political leaders should be 99% professional and 1% entertainers because nobody wants a leader whom they can't take seriously because they are so involved in providing thrills for viewers, rather than creating a solid base for the country or state they govern. In order for one to maintain a professional appearance, one must keep entertainment aside, because otherwise, they are seen merely as people who don't want to be forgotten and are desperate for attention. The bottom line is that entertainment and politics should not be mixed.
