PAY ATTENTION TO ME PRETENDING TO BE UPSET THAT YOU PAID ATTENTION TO ME THE LAST TIME I TRIED TO GET YOU TO PAY ATTENTION TO ME!

Oh, good grief. From Politico:

Sarah Palin announced Thursday night that she ended a Hawaii vacation early because of the ruckus raised after she blacked out "McCain" on her sun visor in an effort to elude paparazzi.

After the former Alaska governor was photographed on the beach earlier this week, TMZ.com portrayed the visor marking as a slight of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), her running mate last year.

Palin, in the midst of a book tour for her million-selling "Going Rogue," released this statement:

"...Todd and I have since cut our vacation short because the incognito attempts didn't work and fellow vacationers were bothered for the two days we spent in the sun. So much for trying to go incognito."

She gets her name in the papers -- completely accidentally! no, really! -- and so she has no choice but to ... get her name in the papers again, by declaring that she's upset about getting her name in the papers! Gosh, she just can't win, can she?
