    Do those folks realize they will be paying sales tax on that book when they buy it?

    Also, can someone doing these interviews do another batch in the spring and ask them their feelings on tanning? Do they like that sun-kissed/non-pale/just-worked-in-the-garden look or how do they feel about a nice deep & dark brown tan.

    Didn't Gawker post this once already? Not that I have any particular problem with repeatedly belittling Sarah Palin, but multiple airings of the same video is a little gratuitous.

    OK, I suppose you DON'T want to show the idiots who were pro-Obama; and when the reporter gave them McCain's platform as Obama's, they all agreed to the entire platform, starting with no abortions for anyone...and the one or two who said, "Gee, I didn't think he stood for that" were briskly told by the reporter, "Well, he does. So are you still for him?" And the idiot, after a head scratch says, "Yeah. I like him."

    You need to be an equal opportunity idiot revealer. This is one-sided. And you know, the more you bash Palin, the more people will start to feel sorry for her and potentially vote for her.
    And they'll have a point, being as how with all the other things going on in the world, and in Washington, anything she does gets headline news. Are you going to start following her into restrooms and report on her activities there? "Palin has smelly poos"? If you want her to be gone, stop talking about her and keeping her alive in the media.

    @Novaload: Yes, Gawker is what's keeping Sarah Palin alive in the media. If Gawker would just be quiet about her, no one else would notice her.

    Gawker is a blog that, among other things, comments on what's going on in the media. What was going on in U.S. mainstream media for the past two weeks was Sarah Palin, non-stop. Posting an alternative view of her is entirely in keeping with what I want Gawker to do (although posting the same one repeatedly isn't so great).

    If you've seen a video that shows Obama supporters being this stupid, just post the URL. No one's stopping you.

    @ystrdysnews: I'm fully willing to believe that there are equally clueless and stupid Obama supporters out there. However, when this video starts by saying that they spoke to "the most informed Obama voters we could find", that's clearly a lie, and when they refer to their "Scientific Poll" my bullshitometer goes off the scale.

    Read the sidebar on the video above. The maker is at least honest about what he's doing.

    @budy920: Thanks for sharing. But you are wrong. The great divide in this country is based, in large part, upon the gullibility of these backwards fuckwits that were on that clip; these people are either willfully ignorant of the truth, or so fucking dumb (i.e., retards) that their right to vote should be revoked.

    My accurate (albeit "nasty") description is a symptom of their stupidity, not a cause of any divide.

    @TheUptightMidwesterner: I thought that high school students were required to learn the basics of our government system through civics classes. So either these people didn't finish high school, or "what the President does" isn't included under "goverment basics."

    Also, this isn't too unexpected. Its not like Columbus and is the intellectual hub of the nation.

    In reply to Publisher Would Like You to Buy Sarah Palin's Actual Book, Not the Parody
    You know what would be a hoot? If somebody were to show up at a book signing, and actually got Sarah Palin to sign Going Rouge. I bet after she's signed six or seven hundred books, she'd probably be tired enough not to notice.

    Does anyone else think that's what actually happened that time when she bailed out early?

    I was able to shrug off all apocalyptic notions about 2012 - until Palin decided to go rogue with her rouge. That YouTube video and the possible future it portends is scarier to me than if the film 2012 was a documentary.

    During "The Gates" Jean Claude and Christo were signing copies of New York Magazine (which had a Christo painting of the project) in Central Park. The signing was eventually ended due to lateness, but there were about 100 people who had stood in line going home without having their mags signed. When Jean Claude found out, she demanded that the magazine publicist who had set up the event put everything in place so that everyone who waited could get their magazine signed.

    That's how people with class handle a situation. And something I thought about Friday as I watched the SP footage.
