Just… Can’t… Stop… Writing About… Palin and Palin Family Members… MAKE IT STOP!

It’s the fifteen minutes of fame that got stuck in a Groundhog’s Day time warp.

A half year after the election was decided, the snow-machining, all-mammal-shooting, willfully ignorant second family that almost was still makes headlines roughly once a week.

The latest cars to go off the tracks:

  • Todd Palin’s sister-in-law has been arrested a few times now for breaking into a house to steal money. And if you’ve ever been to the white trash haven that is Wasilla, this won’t come as a surprise to you. In fact, it’s probably a testament to the health of the Palin clan that the charge is only breaking and entering and theft. The average Wasillian in-law is at least a Meth dealer facing manslaughter charges, so Bravo, Palins – for keeping your house in relative order!
  • And la familia Palin is lashing out at Bristol’s former fiance Levi over his claim on the Tyra Banks cheese-fest that Sarah knew the young couple was knockin’ boots.  Palin’s response:

“It is unfortunate that Levi finds it more appealing to exploit his previous relationship with Bristol than to contribute to the well being of the child,” the statement said. “Bristol realizes now that she made a mistake in her relationship and is the one taking responsibility for their actions.”

The media is increasingly grasping at straws to find good Palin content, but guess what famous name shoots to the top of search engine queries everytime there’s another juicy tidbit? Yep – we are all gorging on the feeding frenzy.

Why? Maybe it’s our fascination with Alaska… or to Sarah Palin’s credit – her image as a politician that doesn’t fit the typical mold… or the MOST LIKELY explanation: our sick habit of the thrill we get just standing back and watching a train wreck in motion. That’s why we love reality TV, right? And in the Palins’ case, the train careening off a cliff seems like it’s a thousand miles long.
