    What amazes me; not one sentence about the writing. Snappy? Ponderous? Meh?

    Congrats, you get the blue-ribbon today.

    So, do you think Gawker is a better website now than it was the day it launched?

    Well, in the old days before child labor laws, urchins were their distribution system, so maybe it's 2 steps forward, 3 back

    In reply to Maureen Dowd: Fake America's Sarah Palin
    By now this should be obvious, but I'm saying it anyway: There is one huge gap between Simple Sarah proclaiming her love for the written word, and the fact. I'd love to see someone quiz her on either of the two books she claims to have read. Shoot, I bet she can't even follow the illogic of her own book, come to that.

    @Tremonius: She must mean she loves it when the words she has to say into a microphone are written for her, so she doesn't have to answer any questions or make anything up on the spot, as she's sure to fail any time some smarter person's hand isn't up her puppet-ass.

    "Of course, I was writing about making Jiffy Pop,"

    This explains a lot.

    Popcorn, like Maureen Dowd, is hollow, lacks substance, and has an inflated sense of self.

    Palin loves the written word like Stalin loved a warm gun. Means to an end and nothing more; nothing more beautiful than a means to her end.

    Who'd they bang on the piano? That doesn't sound very Palinesque. (I can't believe no one's caught that yet! Or do I just win the immaturity ribbon? Yeah. I do.)

    In reply to Maureen Dowd: Fake America's Sarah Palin
    We both had what Palin calls "a love of the written word" .

    Yeah, but I heard Palin and written words haven't been getting along lately, and the love affair is a total sham - perhaps even a divorce is in the works! Levi said so.

    Also, neither of them are qualified for office. Well, Palin could replace Dwight Schrute on "The Office" but that's about it.

    In reply to Maureen Dowd: Fake America's Sarah Palin
    We both resent Hillary Clinton and think she's a lesbian.

    We both fear (and crave!) powerful men who have a soft side, so we besmirch their manliness and character.

    We both are wildly under-appreciated by a world intellectually incapable of handling us (meaning, the world is too dumb to handle me, too smart to handle Backwoods Barbie).

    @Richard Petty Bourgeoisie:

    We both have risen to positions of authority and exposure which puzzles outside observers.

    We both love to write about ourselves in ways we believe will endear us to our audience.

    We both believe that what we say is true--even if it isn't.

    We both dye our hair auburn, because blonde is trashy and undeserving of respect.
