Why she's still being talked about
Obama isn't funny.
No goofy mannerisms.
No major faux-pas with any comedy legs so far.
Handsome without being obviously vain.
And self-deprecating enough to tell your Obama joke better and sooner than any comedian.
He's comedy poison. And US politics is comedy-driven.
So here's Ms. Palin, who not only IS the biggest political joke since Dan Quail but also has the courtesy to write her own jokes. How many politicians have had TWO of their speeches repeated verbatim as comedy gold?
Sarah Palin was sent by god himself. The god here is Loki. We should all sacrifice many rubber chickens to Sleipnir's Mother*.

* Long story, but it comes down to Loki shape-shifting to mare form in order to distract an enemy's stallion and ending up pregnant with a colt.
