Palin's Oprah interview.... in the Politics section?

Even though the whole country, I'm sure, is obsessed with the Palin family's fued with almost family-member Levi Johnston, there should be no reason that Sarah Palin's interview with Oprah should be posted in the "Politics" section of CNN.com. While the topic is interesting (why would the Palin's still condsider Johnston as "part of the family" after the war of words that has persisted between the two parties?), it would be better placed, say, in the "Entertainment" section of the site. This is not political news, despite the fact that Sarah Palin
is still making headlines for multiple reasons. There are much more important stories that are actually politcally-orientated that would be much more use to the site, such as the President of Afghanistan relaying his feeling about an increase of troops to the region to Obama, or the number two Republican in the House, Eric Cantor, denying reports that he will run for President. The article about Palin held absolutely nothing about anything political, unless you count the fact that Palin declares that the campaign staff encouraged her to do the Katie Couric interview that she said was a "bad interview." We really need to relegate posts such as these to the "Entertainment" section, and let REAL political news take the headlines.
