The only way Sarah Palin makes sense to me is to look at her as self-aggrandizing and to interpret her motives as "promoting Sarah Palin". She loves the attention, the fame and the money. She enjoys being a celebrity. She quit being governor of Alaska because she could get a lot more exposure as a conservative pundit. She flirts with the idea of running for office again, but she'll never do it.
That's not to say she doesn't believe in the stupid things she claims to believe, but those beliefs are less a foundation for her as a person than they are a foundation for her persona.
