It looks like Sarah Palin’s movie star career lasted six months less than her Governor career.

A reporter went to the opening of the new movie about Sarah Palin to get an interview with folks who came to see their hero Sarah do stuff like quit jobs and drive a bus.  He might as well have tried to swim up a waterfall.  The place was as empty as a Waco dance hall.

Four people showed up – two of them were lost and the other two were too cheap to rent a hotel room.  You know, your typical Sarah Palin crowd.

Instead of researching civil liberties violations, or the war in Libya, or the contest to elect the next president of the United States, I was both a journalist and the only member of the public willfully paying attention to Sarah Palin, as if standing in for the pathologies of my profession.

My suspicions?  The TEA Party members are either too cheap to buy a ticket, too old to stay up until midnight, or so white they glow in the dark and ruin movies for everybody else.

Probably all three.

Thanks to Carl for the heads-up.
