The Razor’s Edge Between Fame and Infamy

Reports continue to swirl that Sarah Palin will consider a Republican bid for the presidency herself in 2012. Of course her difficulty will be remaining relevant over the next four years without becoming a media whore. She needs to be in the Public Eye, but in a positive way. This is a tough call, especially when every huckster with a hair-brained cause or backwater event will be lining up to get her on board. It is a very slippery slope between grabbing the spotlight with dignity and being an organ grinder’s monkey doing anything for attention.
Rudy Giuliani has managed to do it, as has Joey Buttafucco, but for vastly different reasons.
In the spirit of non-partisan support, Dogs & Jeans offers this the helpful list to Gov. Palin to ensure she makes the right choices when approached:
