As far as what Palin is trying to do, another non-issue. She holds no office so at this point is a non-politician making a speech at a leaderless mass in hopes of gaining a political foothold and trying to bring the teapartiers in-line with the hardcore right. Both will fail (hopefully).
Yeah, I see it, too (the distraction point). It was news; not my opinion of anything for or against, but actual news of the event.

Kinda sorry I posted it in the first place because, just as you pointed out, it has distracted (or attracted) attention away from the original premise of this topic.

Just like Sarah Palin is one big distraction. She's not even a politician anymore. I see her more along the lines of 'freelance lobbyist', in my opinion. What do I care of whatever political agenda she has? especially if she can't host her own venue to do so, instead choosing to piggyback onto the convention for the TEA Partiers. (again, an irony considering what my first posts' random and additional aside prompted)

If she seriously wants to consider entering her name into the presidential ballot box again in a few years' time, she needs to realize that it's not going to be effective, if at all, to campaign for her own brand of politics now, when it is basically irrelevant to the general population at large to think about what a "rogue politician" has in mind to instill change in the American mindset and government.

One essential ingredient to politics (and comedy!) is timing.
