Meghan McCain on Sarah Palin: "She’s either brilliant or insane." Hard to argue with that.

I don't always agree with the "man who unleashed the beast's" daughter on everything, but this time she is way ahead of the other pundits in realizing what Palin's strategy is concerning her run for 2012.

From the Daily Beast:

Wanna run for president? Quit your job, find a hot Hollywood reality-show producer, make sure your children also appear on hit reality shows, saturate every entity with tweets and Facebook updates on every conceivable subject. I dare anyone in the news to not report on one of her tweets. She doesn’t do interviews because she doesn’t need to. She can Twitter and Facebook away and then the press goes and reports on her tweets. It is so monopolized at this point that for me it steps dangerously into the realm of some strange science-fiction movie from the '60s. Saturate the American public until we forget that anything or anyone else exists or is even an option in 2012. There are no other choices, because, can’t you see, she is the only choice.

This is her strategy, and yes, she is running for president.

I have been saying much the same thing for weeks now, and am very gratified to see others starting to catch on.

However as frightening as the idea that Sarah Palin actually has a plan to get to the White House might be, the reality of how well that plan is working should ease any fears of its ultimate success.

First there is the reaction to her new reality show, the ratings for which set a fairly high watermark with its first episode, but then quickly plummeted once people got the chance to see the trainwreck up close and personal.

The second episode of the show also upset animal activists who did not view Sarah Palin playing with the still beating heart of a dead halibut as terribly Presidential, or even terribly human.

Palin's plan to garner support from Bristol's appearance on DWTS also did not quite work out as planned when her sycophants kept cheating the system to keep the oddly expanding, and completely undeserving young woman on week, after week in the place of far more deserving contestants.

In fact it became so obvious that ABC finally had to admit that their voting system was flawed and they might even have to revamp it for next season.  (Actually if they simply keep the Palins away they might be able to leave it like it is without any further problems.  I mean really, who else has fans this ethically challenged?)

Then we have the Grizzled Mama's new book.

The book quickly goes to Palin's comfort zone, the low road, by attacking Levi Johnston, President and Michele Obama, the "Lamestream"media, and American Idol?

And already the book has created a legal drama after Harper Collins filed suit against Gawker for posting pages from the book on its website ahead of publication.

"How's that First Amendment-y thing working for ya?"

So like Meghan McCain says, Sarah Palin has herself a plan.

Could it be a successful plan?

Successful? Really? What part of its "Sarah Palin's plan" don't you understand?

So to answer the question posed in the headline, I am going to go with "insane."
