Imagine watching it after smoking a joint? Not that I'd ever do that, but I bet it would be funnier.

i disagree. we ended up in this ultra-conservative nightmare because the public reacted in a hyper reflexive reaction to the last time the democrats held both executive and legislative branches. all we need is one good source of moral outrage and we could easily swing back to the extreme right.

I was watching extreme left wing propagandist Bill Maher on his elite librul show on HBO and one of the guests noted that Obama would have about a year before the jury is in on him. If he does well, it will change the conversation within the conservative party. If he falls flat, there will be a lot of wardrum beating going on within conservative circles that "we were right, he was wrong for us." Of course, it's their complete lack attention and care and refusal tobe critical of their own which has given us the past 8 years. 9/11 did a lot to shake this country and standing up to a republican president who went on the attack was never going to be a very popular position but it doesn't also mean that the principles on domestic issues had to be thrown out the window, as they were.

Why I say Sarah palin is done is because she's given the left plenty of ammunition for the next four years. Her record in Alaska speaks that she's really not in control of her own house and that she looks disdainfully on education (she managed to get a BA in journalism but her son dropped out of high school and one of her daughters missed about half a year of school). Perhaps, in time, she can find her own voice when it comes to international affairs but it honestly looks like she just hasn't been interested in all of that. That's hardly patriotic, in my view. If she really thinks she's the next big ticket for the republican party, that leads me to wonder how she will govern Alaska, given the increased scrutiny and how she can really raise concern over issues that don't pertain to her state. Besides, the GOP has someone they'll be able to rally around in 4 years and that guy is Bobby Jindal.

NEWSWEEK has also learned that Palin's shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain's top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy. One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family—clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill. Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent "tens of thousands" more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast," and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.

the part of me with a perverse sense of humor is going to miss her. the rest of me wants to cram her back into the mudhole she crawled out of.

Well, given that ted Stevens may win his senate race and then be promptly booted from Washington...guess who has the pwer to nominate herself as the next senator from Alaska? I'll give you a hint:

SHE DIDN'T KNOW AFRICA WAS A CONTINENT...SHE THOUGHT IT WAS A F*CKIN COUNTRY

Hard to believe that the selection of her was even more irresponsible than we first thought...
