Politicians can be tricky. As we all know, politicians use certain tactics to try to persuade citizens to vote for them. Kissing babies, shaking hands and posting job résumés on LinkedIn.

That's right, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has posted her résumé on LinkedIn.

LinkedIn is a professional social networking site intended for business and job opportunities.

Why would Sarah Palin need to post her résumé anywhere? Isn't she a household name at this point?

I don't see Britney Spears or Madonna auditioning for American Idol, so why would a name as big as Sarah Palin need the publicity of LinkedIn?

I'll tell you why. Sarah Palin is a diva and she needs the attention.

That woman had her 15 minutes of political fame and now that her time is up, she can't stand it. Nothing she could do could surprise me at this point.

Just to make this clear, I don't have any political issues with Sarah Palin. I don't know anything about politics. However, I do know that if I yelled out "Sarah Palin" in a crowded area, people would look and know what they were looking for. Obviously, she doesn't need the aid of LinkedIn.

Also, I know there are rumors that Sarah Palin, that good ole wolf huntin' backwoods girl from Alaska, purchased her outfits for her political campaign from Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. I bet she doesn't hunt wolves in those.

There's no real way to confirm those rumors, but those bright red shoulder pads and bold rimmed glasses speak for themselves in my opinion.

Palin probably ransacked Neiman Marcus like the go-get-'em hockey mom she wanted the world to think she was.

Does Sarah Plain need LinkedIn?

No, Sarah Palin needs attention. And, apparently, Gucci pumps to really show of her calves-oops, I mean passion-about America.
