Palin soldiers on as diminished figure

Long read from WaPo's Costa.

I'm not trying to be disparaging in saying this, but I really do see her later years having a very tragic E! True Hollywood Story quality to them - probably involving bankruptcy, marital issues, family strife and/or drug/alcohol issues. Notoriety is like a drug that she keeps charging towards headfirst, and people like that rarely have happy endings.

Sometime in the early 2020s, there will be some sort of "Where Are They Now?" segment and we'll find out that Sarah Palin is trying to piece her life back together after her estranged husband Todd assaulted her with a barbeque fork and spent all their reality show money on ATVs and Bass Pro Shops merchandise. Maybe she'll get arrested. Maybe she'll appear on a reality show with D-list celebrities. Maybe she'll do infomercials for reverse mortgages.

I think it's safe to say that if Sarah Palin hasn't jumped the shark yet, she's done so now... And to think I almost put this in the 2016 thread.

Yup. Us Democrats want to take away all of your guns  and sell them to terrorists and illegal immigrants so that we can fund  gay gypsy bar mitzvahs for the disabled.   We will probably take away your farms so that we can have woodstocks on them, too.

Sarah Palin -- the Baby Doe Tabor of American right-wing politics.

If she wanted to, she could easily parlay all this into a cool few dozen million (my preferred sum is $27.5 million), invested wisely, and live out her life in splendid semi obscurity, "writing" a few web columns and appearing as a Fox talking head. It would be far more lucrative and graceful.

You are forgetting about taxes.

Yes, she would pay taxes..? I don't know what there is to forget about them. What point are you trying to make?
