^ i can vouch for how it'll play in the south if we're using jamie lynn spears as a benchmark. the dominant "conservative" suburbanites of alpharetta, georgia will absolutely love her and support her because of this. expect to see it play out that way across the south.

religion loves a redemption story more than a perfect slate.
though its still funny to hear "everybody makes mistakes" in politics. lol ok.

hey you remember indicted senator ted stevens (bridge to nowhere, "the internet is a series of tubes" ted stevens)? turns out sarah palin was director of his 527 group.

how is that relevant? well, let's see,

oh yes, and apparently our founding fathers enjoyed reciting the 1950s version of the pledge of allegiance, which was originally composed in 1892.

that's a minimum of a 150 year budget shortfall in her mental math.

Question: Are you offended by the phrase "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?

Palin: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I'll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.

The pledge, of course, was not written until 1892 and the words "under God" were not added until the 1950s.

"Man, I just ordered my McCain-MILF 08 button! Maybe I can cross out the M and put in a G instead."

If Palin starts poking out her chest while riding a horse, then we'll know the McCain campaign is desperate.

I'm starting to think we're being distracted by this Palin person - and missing something really obvious.

It can't really be this easy can it? To skewer the GOP so easily?

I mean, come on - Bush and Cheney - they were a joke - but enough fell for them.

This isn't even a joke is it? Really?

Oh well - might as well join in the fun.

And this is really reaching for the arse end of the barrel - because she's the COMMANDER IN CHIEF of the Alaskan National Guard - that must mean she's got more foreign policy experience than the Democrats.



Oh. But wait. Turns out she does nada when it comes to commanding the National Guard. That's all done at the federal level. Duh.

"From McCain's wife, Cindy, came a geographic assessment of qualification: "Alaska is the closest part of our continent to Russia. So, it's not as if she doesn't understand what's at stake here."

bahahahahahaha.

And if you are trying to keep track of it all.

Can anyone confirm whether this woman really believes the earth is 6,000 years old (and presumably things like this were planted by Satan)?
