Let me get this straight...
John "P.O.W." McCain chose Palin from a list of Republican legislators and governors, pre-empted the national reaction to Obama's magnificent Convention speech, showcased her in Minneapolis, had her speak to the raucous cheers of thousands of Republican 'faithful', touted her as the most qualified person in the United States of America to be Vice-President, far more 'experienced' than any legislator due to her commitment as governor, as Mayor, and as head of her meth-riddled P.T.A., used her to accuse the Democrats of affiliations with terrorists, socialists, and Marxists, peddled her well-used ass as a maverick reformer who took on the most corrupt state government (Republican) in the world, second only to Pol Pot's Cambodia, blew away the oil companies' lobbyists and money, and most importantly, could field-dress a moose.

All of a sudden, she, by Republicans' own statements, is a narcissistic, tawdry, thieving, temper-tantrumed, ignorant, over-the-hill piece of shit?


I WANT AN APOLOGY FROM THE REPUBLICANS RIGHT NOW!!!!

1. She makes a very convenient scapegoat.
I can't wait to see what the next few weeks have in store for her here. She has a lot of raven to eat.

6. I will if you want me to.
Opinion here seems to be divided somewhat, some people wanting to hear every juicy little detail and others hoping never to hear her name again. I'm thinking that probably once the post-election frenzy dies down some, I'll just maybe do a once-weekly update on Sarah's adventures in Alaska for those who are interested. Since some want her to be the "future of the Republican party," it's probably a good idea to keep an eye on her.

2. And insisted he was "overjoyed" with his choice. Ummm, did he *ever* look overjoyed?
I wonder if Palin could even get elected head of the PTA now.

On the other hand, if Ted Stevens is re-elected after being identified as a felon, I guess
Palin might still have a future in Alaska.

This is better than sex...

No wait it isn't.

It's better than sex with a condom though.

5. You forgot she was his "soul mate."
That union lasted about as long as some of his flights in the 60s.

8. Hey, let them skewer her. Let them tear her down.
Maybe then she'll slink back to the wilds of Alaska to be heard from no more.

Well, a girl can dream, can't she?
