We're trying to figure out why. It's the same as Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton …. She quit her job because she wanted to go out and be a celebrity .” The CNN contributor actually first tried out his questionable label of the Tea Party favorite on his Twitter account. At 5:12 pm on November 9 , Martin posted the following Tweet: ” Palin slammed then-Sen. Obama as a celebrity in 2008 campaign, and she's more of a celebrity because she doesn't hold office .” Mind you, at that time, Palin was Alaska's governor and the Republican vice presidential candidate, but the liberal continued by complaining in a second Tweet that “the media goes ga ga over whatever she says. Palin is often wrong. She's a former governor who quit her job rather than tough it out .” During his third Tweet , Martin added, ” She holds no position; wants no accountability; and wants to sling arrows and then gets angry when called on the carpet 4 her nonsense .” The CNN personality completed his rant by comparing the Republican to the curvy celebrity most infamous for making a pornographic video : ” At the end of the day, Sarah Palin is the Kim Kardashian of Politics. She's a celebrity with no real purpose other than picking up a check .” [ Video below the jump ]
