I find it hard to put into adequate words how McCain's decision to bring Palin into the national spotlight absolutely shattered the respect I once had for him.

It continues magnificently here.

My favorite snippet from the section where she repeats Republican claims and then responds to them:

"She makes the Republican Party look inclusive." She makes the party look stupid...

It's official! Yay!

Now we just have to hear about every stupid twitter she sends out since that seems to be how she plans to "fight even harder" for all of us.

Nice little button to the resignation story. Looks like Palin resigning cost the state of Alaska at least $40,000, and that doesn't include "the estimated $100,000 it cost for a one-day special session last month in which lawmakers approved Palin's pick to replace Parnell as lieutenant governor and overrode her veto of federal stimulus funds intended for energy efficiency projects."

Of course she was only doing what's best for the state...
