UPDATED: Why won't GOP pundits leave Sarah Palin alooooone!

Fox News' Bill Sammon faithfully ignores the avalanche of Palin slams coming from the GOP press and pretends (voilà!) it's liberals who are teeing off on Palin. It's liberals who are unhinged.
As previously noted, when it comes to fighting the GOP's on-going, and bruising, Palin civil war, leave the press, and liberals, out of it.
Her appeal is limited to the rabid anti-intellectual religious wingnuts who, unfortunately, have been in control of the GOP for some time now.
Embarrassed by the goofy VP candidate she wants to forget about, she's created a fantasy world where Liberals are obsessed about Palin, and Wingnuts ( "normal people" to Ann) just want to talk about important substance;
She's like the ex-girlfriend they're SO over, never want to see again, have already forgotten about -- really, it's O-ver -- but they just can't stop talking about her.
Liberal: Ha, ha ... Sarah who? She's over, she's toast, a future Trivial Pursuit answer, nothing more.
Normal person: Whatever. How about the North Korean missiles?
Liberal: Can you believe she just resigned the governorship like that? What a quitter!
A more accurate analogy would be Simple Sarah as a burglar who tried to break into our house. We kept her out this time, but she's sitting on the curb across the street, waiting for another chance. That's why we're still talking about her... she remains a very real threat.
