Comedy interlude: the blogger who pushed Palin over a year ago advises her next move
Adam Brickley has been named as the founder of the 'Palin for VP' movement, and has spent over a year pushing her on the web - and some say this got Bill Kristol's attention, and it moved on from there. He got onto The Colbert Report to talk about it (though I can't watch that here in the UK, boo-hoo, so I don't know how that went).

So, this genius of electioneering (OK, he's only 21, but he did try really hard to get her nominated - it wasn't just a bit of idle talk on an existing blog) now has thoughts on what his hero should do to cement her status for a 2012 nomination:

3. Write a bestseller. The subject is irrelevant, though including a good deal of policy talk would probably be helpful. The American public needs to know that you are an intelligent and capable leader, so show them how smart you are. Plus, it never hurts to have to do a bunch of interviews to promote your new book, and if you wrote on energy policy, you could establish yourself as a "preeminent authority" on the subject.

:rofl:

Yeah, the woman who can't name the papers she reads should 'write a bestseller', about - :shrug: . How hard can it be? And hey, a few more interviews can't hurt, can they? I mean, the last batch went so well. She really came out of them looking smart.

Could this guy be on our side after all?

1. The guy was on The Colbert Report, I believe, and he is truly one creepy dude.
I mean, really creepy. Like if you had a daughter, you wouldn't let her anywhere near him.

Yeah, that creepy.

Hell, I wouldn't let my mother near him.

3. 4. Hire Frank Luntz, Ph.D. as a ghost writer
He can fill it full of market tested platitudes. That'll wow 'em. You betcha, doggone it, it will.
