And with or without the fake British accent?

Yeah she just didn't grow into any new role as she got older. What was shocking back in 1985 is groan worthy now.Which would almost sound awesome 25 years earlier.

I think she feels she has to do things like that in order to stay relevant and in the public eye, since her attempts to transition into acting and directing didn't go over well at all. Plus it's not like she has the songwriting chops or voice to transition into another genre of music, so I think she's stuck in the old "shocking" role.
She's big enough a celebrity that she could have retired years ago and she'd still be popular on her back catalog. We know about her, the younger generation has heard of her... if she completely disappeared, everyone would still be talking about her. She doesn't need to be shocking or relevant anymore, but she feels she needs the limelight to stay known. And she was heavy handed with it before, she's trying to bludgeon everyone with it now.

I think some celebrities just can't let go of the limelight once they get a taste of it. Look at someone like Kate Gosselin (different field but similar idea); her show got cancelled three or four years ago, and she's still tossing her kids on morning shows and trying to keep her name out there. Even though Madonna probably has enough to retire on, she can't let go.

Not to mention Octomom. There's one person I'd love to forget existed. But, no, now there's a welfare fraud thing going because they say she didn't report income from, um, adult entertainment income while receiving public aid.
I'm going to have to agree with John Oliver... Palin's a troll. Talking about her gives her power, and if we all ignore her, she'll quietly disappear permanently. Maybe she'll take her Machiavellian schemes and Starscream-esque tendencies with her too.
It's easy to dismiss her as some sort of moron who wanted to have 15 minutes of fame... but then you have to think about the way too many amount of kids she brought into the world to acquire that fame. It's nothing to have her go away when everyone stopped caring, but I feel real sorry for those children. They need to be taken away from her.
