Sarah Palin is the Kardashian of Politics, Making a Lucrative Career Out of Being Famous

Sarah Palin, the darling of a pro-life party that cheers Texas executions at presidential debates, has made an insanely lucrative career out of being famous, a Kardashian sister of American politics.

This week she becomes even more famous because of a new book written about her by Joe McGinniss, who became famous for writing a book called "The Selling of the President 1968."

One of the stars of that book was Roger Ailes, who runs Fox News, where Palin has been a pinup girl since the last campaign, even if there was never a chance she was going to run for President, and not just because she would have to take a pay cut.

Are you kidding? Palin constantly builds her brand and her bank account by not running, no matter how many bus tours she makes across

America

. As

Bill Maher

likes to point out, when Palin ran for vice president her idea of a "gotcha" question was being asked what she likes to read.

That doesn't mean she doesn't know how to sell herself. Call it "The Selling of a Non-President 2012."
