While discussing Sarah Palin’s new reality show, Sarah Palin’s Alaska, CNN contributor Roland Martin suggested that Sarah Palin is the “Kim Kardashian of politics.” “Well, she has held public office. Kim Kardashian – I don’t know, has she ever held a job?” asked host Anderson Cooper. “She held public office and she quit. She quit her job because she wanted to go out and become a celebrity!” Martin responded.Even Cooper thought that comparison was a bit of a stretch. This is just another example of the mainstream media’s frustration with the overall popularity of Palin in conservative circles and her growing influence on Republican politics that makes the Democrats shiver.
