You know the ones -- about the pleasure of helping Mom bake cookies, or the insights gained in her community college philosophy class, and how she didn't have a current full-time boyfriend. God shed his grace on thee, Amurrica, and don't you forget it.

To be sure I'd have to see the bathing suit/high heels picture. She does have a little of that Monica Lewinsky dinner plate face going on; she's actually gotten more acttractive with age, as some people do. (but you never know until it's too late...)

Good luck with that "populism," righties. And you’ll notice that the tea partier’s “manifesto” has morphed into the standard Republican Wall Street/Exxon BS.

The realty too few perceive is that both parties, R and D, are rotten with corporatism, and it's the marriage of business and government that's the biggest threat to democracy and our Constitutional republic.

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but this is what she really looks like – tending toward fat, wild-eyed, stale, flat.

At least she looks cute. That is the best we can now hope for. Do you seriously believe that she could open the doors for special interest groups any further? (what doors? are there any left?) Seriously, the changeling has sufficiently demonstrated that it doesn't matter who is in office, after all. And a people that is capable of electing Reagan and Dubbya (twice no less) is perfectly suitable to be led by a beauty contestant. Can you imagine Benito Berlusconi's eyes at the next summit?

And now, we have the comedy of the 'palmepromter', with which Palin masterfully answered the three-point question that she was given in advance but still needed crib notes to get through. I again marvel at how reality is truly more amazing than fiction. Hag, you are in fine form here, as is the comment section.
