Photos of Sarah Palin at 61 went viral this week — attracting the kind of fresh widespread attention that most politicians her age stopped generating years ago — and the debate that erupted around them had almost nothing to do with policy and everything to do with a woman who has simply refused to disappear on anyone else’s schedule.
Meanwhile she quietly admitted that the Trump administration she helped build has never reached out to offer her a role — saying she thought there would be a position in Energy because energy independence has always been her passion, but that it simply has not happened. Going viral at 61. Still waiting for a phone call that never comes. Still showing up every single day without a word of bitterness. That is not a political story. That is a character story — and Sarah Palin’s character has never once let her down.
