    You're calling her gay? It's "Klondike." I'm not saying you're wrong (she looks like every lipstick lesbian I've ever known) but it would add a whole new dimension to the breeder aspect.



    Mind you I DID know a stripper duo back in the day who were so stupid they had to have five on the team so that two wouldn't be pregnant when they had gigs. Eventually they figured out what caused that, and yes, all of them self-identified as gay. I'm like, You're doin it rong.

    I knew a crazy lady at my grandmother's condo who ran around quoting Plato. We called her Lady Bartlett, and she was as dumb as a brick.

    @rudi_freude: To be fair, Palin's job performance is probably pretty much the same whether she's coming or going - a wave of bullshit mounted on a submarine of crazy.

    @Claire Buoyant: The Senator's father was a famous football coach who, by most accounts, was a decent man. How he raised a retarded, racist clusterfuck like George Jr. remains a mystery.

    "Cementing myself as the poster girl for (1) the intellectually dim, (b) those who feel vocationally "Left Behind" by the information economy and (4) those who feel culturally isolated by the new American Dream of a Prius instead of an SUV, a tidy Cape Cod instead of a McMansion and a Whole Foods smoked salmon filet instead of a big rack of mammal ribs makes me a viable candidate for the highest office in the land. Run, thinking people! I'm comin' for ya!" - SP

    Bless her heart. She's using Cronkite's classic definition of 'liberal' to show us that the media is Liberal and therefore biased against her mavericky - yet - somehow - lockstep - Republican views.




    ...and lady, I know Plato and that ain't him:

    Mankind censure injustice fearing that they may be the victims of it, and not because they shrink from committing it.

    I somehow doubt that line actually comes from Plato considering, you know, that he wrote dialogues.

    That quote is like every backhanded barb my mother has ever made in her life, condensed into a single sentence. Even though it kinda makes me vomit, at the same time I love it. Amazing.
