Sarah Palin

A logical fallacy similar to that of the red herring in which a person or thing is used to spur controversial and inflammatory rhetoric among two already polarized and dysfunctional political parties. An object that deters from pertinent facts with regard to a democracy, and creates it’s own sub-topic the likes of which is a mute point to the individuals that hold that democracy hostage through mindless entertainment media, egotistical extremists, and the manipulation of individuals too dumb to debated political matters of any pertinent complexity. A joke at the expense of everyone who thinks the joke is funny, and a victory for matters that never deserved our attention in the first place.
