Is it ridiculous that the media is obsessing over where Sarah Palin buys her clothes? Or how much she paid for them?
I find the media is ridiculous in a lot of ways, but although I wish they would spend less time on this, one of the reasons that they spend so much time on it is that people want to talk about it.
Hey, we had to have our 796 hours of talk about John Edward’s haircuts and Al Gore’s earth tones. What’s good for the goose, you know what I’m sayin’?
The media overplays this stuff, but they know people eat it up. Because it does seem hypocritical to claim to be a man or woman of the people and then live a lifestyle completely beyond the reach of most people.
Sure, it’s unrealistic and unfair to expect a candidate seeking to lead the most powerful nation on earth to be an average Joe (six pack, plumber, or otherwise). But who said Americans are ever realistic about their expectations of their leaders?
Speaking of media and ridiculous, this Daily Show clip is pretty hilarious:
