Now You (Don't) See Her

By Sniffles

Have any of you noticed what we cats have? What the heck has happened to Sarah Palin?

Until just recently, it seemed that we couldn't escape her, no matter how hard we tried. There was no camera she didn't love, from the Republican Governors' meeting in Miami to the turkey slaughter in Alaska to the Alfalfa Club dinner in Washington. Oh, and her (still unmarried) daughter's interview on Fox "News."

Now, suddenly, she's gone. She was a no-show at the National Governors' Association winter meeting and bowed out of appearing at CPAC (which was good news for an obnoxious, rotund talk-show host we know). And she's been completely silent on the latest travails of the Republican Party, from the disastrous speech by her fellow Governor, Bobby Jindal, to the Michael Steele-Rush Limbaugh dust-up.

Heck, we don't even know if she's accepting stimulus money yet, but with Alaska's oil revenues falling and state budget troubles afoot, we suspect she will.

Not that we miss her, mind you. But it's interesting when a media whore suddenly stops soliciting her johns.
