A part of it is the entertainment factor. She's practically a self-parody who's difficult to take serious at times. A part of it I guess could be described as fear. I fear someone like her becoming the President of the United States. Anyone who wants to resurrect Reagonomics or to continue many of the things conducted both economically and politically under George W. Bush is a the very least a wee bit frightening.

For the record, I don't really pay attention to Lady Gaga. I sometimes play one or two singles if I feel like hearing a solid beat with a catchy melody. But that's about it. Also, I don't really know who Kathy Griffin is. Some kind of co-host with Regis?

Anyway, neither of those two have much of an impact on me up here in the Great White North, whether current or potential.

I can't say the same about Sarah Palin.

I don't pay attention merely because I fear what she represents. I pay attention because she is a significant part of what's going on south of the border. This is the case even if she doesn't run for president.

I didn't think it would be that difficult to comprehend.
