I wish there was a contemporary, PC alternative for "Tar Baby" because that's what iconic reality stars like Palin are. You are drawn to them for the spectacle but can't pull yourself off of them and the more you poke at them the more you get stuck.
These days I'm going with "Tar Pit": a tourist attraction that is fascinating but all devouring.
I'm sensing a general pull away from her on a broader level than just her haters these days. I think the crosshairs surveyors mark controversy pushed this a bit, but what I really think she's suffering from is market saturation and a lack of new "content" and Washington activity.
The Republicans have some clout again yet she's not truly part of it. She's competing with other pundits now more than the President.
