Can anyone explain why? So please finish the topic before we move on.

Maybe noone can give us an answer. I for one cannot see how she could draw so much attention, just like I still wonder to this day why the world decided that I had to know who Paris Hilton is...

Regarding the actual topic here....If Palin did compare herself to Shakespeare (I'm thoroughly confused by everything I've read of that link and in this thread) then I'd say that if she isn't stupid (which ofcourse is relative) then she is at the very least cocky. Anyone here read her book? If yes, do you think that it's of such quality that schoolchildren around the world will read, analyze and perform plays based on it 400 years from now? I very much doubt it to be honest.

No matter what you think of Palin, or what you think she is capable of, comparing her to Shakespeare is just...silly. Utterly silly. Not even Monty Python could make that up...
