Gee, with that kind of money she could put half into an index fund. Within 10 years it will probably double if not triple. Pay taxes and live on the rest. She would have it made if she lives within her means.

It would destroy her chances for public office. But she could do worse.

It would destroy her chances for public office.

If she moved to Italy, it would IMPROVE her chances for public office! I can see the headlines now, "Sarah Palin says she has nothing to hide!"

Sarah Palin returns to Alaska and gets slapped by reality:

Yet another ethics complaint filed against her.

The recent plunge of crude oil prices, meaning the days of huge budget surpluses and tax refunds that people in her state enjoyed are coming to an end.

Was Judge Palin too lenient to pardon that turkey?

Yep...this is more like Tina Fey than Palin. It's a hilarious video, especially at the end, when you finally stop watching the guy in the background long enough to actually listen to what she's saying.

Re: Sarah Palin - pros & cons

Sarah's got 800 offers, according to this story from CNN:

"Oprah wants her, and so do Letterman and Leno. Fresh from her political defeat, Sarah Palin is juggling offers to write books, appear in films and sit on dozens of interview couches at a rate that would be astonishing for most Hollywood stars, let alone a first-term governor.
"Sarah Palin continues to attract huge media interest despite her failed bid to become vice president. The failed Republican vice presidential candidate crunched state budget numbers this week in her 17th-floor office as tumbling oil prices hit Alaska's revenues. Meanwhile, her staff fielded television requests seeking the 44-year-old for late-night banter and Sunday morning Washington policy. Agents, including those from the William Morris Agency, have come knocking. There's even been an offer to host a TV show.
"Tomorrow, Gov. Palin could do an interview with any news media on the planet," said her spokesman, Bill McAllister. "Tomorrow, she could probably sign any one of a dozen book deals. She could start talking to people about a documentary or a movie on her life. That's the level we are at here."
"Barbara Walters called me. George Stephanopoulos called me," McAllister said. "I've had multiple conversations with producers for Oprah, Letterman, Leno and 'The Daily Show.' "
(...)
"Palin may have emerged from the campaign politically wounded, with questions about her preparedness for higher office and reports of an expensive wardrobe, but she's returned to Alaska with an expanded, if unofficial, title: international celebrity.
(...)
"Palin is considering about 800 requests for appearances from December through 2009, with 75 percent coming from out of state. A year ago, just a sprinkle of requests came from beyond Alaska's borders. They range from invitations to speak at the Chief Executives' Club of Boston, Massachusetts, and to attend a 5-year-old's birthday party, from a prayer breakfast in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to a business conference in Britain.
(...)
"She has invitations to make appearances in 20 foreign countries, typically with all expenses paid, McAllister said. She has more than 200 requests for media interviews, again from around the globe.
(...)
"Although books and movie deals could be worth millions of dollars, it's not clear whether Palin would be able to legally earn it. State rules say she cannot accept outside employment for compensation. But there appears to be little in the way of precedent left by former governors to judge if book deals or lucrative speaking appearances amount to "employment."
"Palin has sent unmistakable signals that she is open to running for president in 2012, but to advance her political ambitions, she must stay in the public eye in the lower 48 states."

Could you possibly explain why you still believe a complete nincompoop and National embarrassment such as Sarah Palin would be good for anything other than more killer material for Tina Fey?

I don't know if that last statement is necessarily true. Rather than advancing her celebrity status, it is more important for her to establish her qualifications for the Presidency. So while being in the public eye could be more helpful to Palin, it needs to be for the right reasons. Stories/interviews that will bolster her foreign policy credentials would be most beneficial. But media appearances just for the sake of it could easily prove detrimental, as it could give further ammunition for the comedians and pundits.

Amen to that. It'll be interesting to see if she chooses to go the celebrity route or the smarter route. The former would be easy for her; the latter would take some really hard work.

Will she still be able to govern properly, as busy as she is?
