Reply #56: That's the second time you've brought up Jessie Ventura, but there really is no comparison.

Ventura was a joke at first. Ha ha, look at that, a wrestler running for governor. But whether you agree with him or disagree with him (and I did both, depending on the topic) he actually surprised a lot of people by showing that he was thoughtful and competent. He was a far better governor than Tim goat-fucking Pawlenty ever was.

Palin is just an empty-headed, incurious, cardboard cutout of conservatism. She gets media coverage because people like to watch her the way they look at the carnage of an accident on the freeway.
