Good points.
He has a tattoo of the Olympic rings near his pelvis? Adventurous!
@rosaluxembourgeoise: Yes, his tactic of humiliating the person at the security test every time a CEO won't come down to the lobby for an ambush video has always been one of his cheapest tricks. I will point out that Stalin, Lenin and Mao have all done worse, though.
@Jim Treacher: She made the decision because her AG told her it was not constitutional, not because she doesn't think gays should be spit on in the streets. Evidently.
@Jim Treacher: Jim, your link seems like it's to a political site trying to throw dirt on Sarah for being pro-gay. Not exactly reliable.
Media matters has something to say on the subject:

@TallulahSkankhead: You want them to be defined by their cooking?
(ducks)
@SheWalkedWithAZombie: I think I pretty much agree with you here. But apparently the issue, at least as to Trig, is whether she has time to grandparent.
@Bell County:
Little heavy on the italics, there, guy. Only the first sentence should be italicized.

@NinaHagen:
Trig is the governor's fifth child. She told her staff members that Trig was the easiest delivery of all her children."
It would have to be, wouldn't it?
This story does tend to have the effect of making her like like a liar or a very irresponsible mother. The water broke before she got on the long flight?

@KarenUhOh: Hey! First Pareene, and now you?
@scroll_lock: Richard Gere/gerbil jokes are kind of a race to the bottom.
@karion: For the Commie I would probably pick one of the more elegant digs at Moe, but I'm not sure which one at the moment. The kill choice would be any of American Dreamer's new incarnations. For "follow" I want to say Private Hangnail at the moment.
@Sarcastro: The worst is that inner voice that, at Ruth's funeral, volunteers an inappropriate riff on the Pink Panther theme song.
@Aaron Altman: Those gerbil jokes really creep up on you.
@Nard: Nice one, Sir Blasphemesalot.
@Anissa Jones Shoots Smack!: In your American Dreams.
Aw, no Commies or executions.
@Private Hangnail: @scroll_lock: Joan Allen on the set of Hachiko: "This is supposed to be a story about a dog. Can you at least tear your eyes away from the Gerbil cage for five Goddamn minutes while we're shooting?"
@ADismalScience: I'm going to have to do some reading up on the governor of Alaska, but this does seem slightly like pandering + opportunism. Kind of like when Bush tried to give the appearance of compromise by replacing Thurgood Marshall with Clarence Thomas.
If she's a well-credentialled running mate, I respect the move both for its inclusiveness and its savvy politics, but if she's lightweight then it's hard not to think of the choice as a little cynical.
