    The Republican party will take help wherever they can find it. If no existing (and/or self-respecting) media outlet will not report the spin they want, they simply create a media outlet that will. The only difference between Politico and the Washington Times is that the Times has an intermediary cult between it and the mother ship. Politico has a direct line. #politico

    She actually went through a vetting process? That's rich. And where is all of this going? Is she just going to continue to take jabs at everyone and have them continue to take jabs at her until 2012? #sarahpalin

    Hello Politico? You there? Remember Harriet Miers? Bush's personal attorney who worked on his 2000 campaign? Who he later nominated to the Supreme Court and had to withdraw the bid cause it was just that ridiculous? Yeah *that* Harriet Miers, the one who gives President Obama license to appoint a fucking frog in a bear costume to the position of White House counsel. #politico

    I heard that the editors of Politico enjoy goatfucking. Questions arise whether that is true. But now that it's out there, it would be irresponsible not to investigate it. Also, did they kill anyone?

    Also, did they ask if Atty Gen Gonzo was qualified?

    "Questions arise whether incoming White House counsel Bob Bauer's experience as a partisan warrior is appropriate for the position."

    Frankly, I think a few more partisan warriors is exactly what this administration is sorely lacking.

    I liked how her FB update uses BIG, smart-sounding words... "subsequent", "erroneously".

    You should see the responses she got to that, they were hilarious. One guy saying that he didn't even know that people at AP could read?!?? Another guy still referring to her as "Governor" . #sarahpalin

    @se7a7n7: You read them too? Reading the inane and often unintelligible comments from her "fans" is a passion of mine. Gosh, if I had a dime for every time one of them referred to her as "Governor Palin" after she quit, I'd be a very rich lady. I also love that the liberal socialists are all apparently frightened to death of a Palin 2012 run for President when in reality that is what we are all quietly hoping for (both for the entertainment value, and because it would guarantee an Obama victory). #sarahpalin

    The only money they shelled out on vetting her was the 25 cent charge to print out her Wikipedia entry at the Wasilla library computer. #sarahpalin

    @TheUptightMidwesterner: McCain and his camp have surely never heard of Wikipedia because it's on that infamous series of tubes known as the Internetz.

    It's more likely he had her write a 200 word essay entitled "Why I Deserve to be Vice President". Of course, 100 of those words were no doubt "also", "you betcha" and "y'all", so we can see where the process failed.

    In reply to Peggy Noonan's Afghanistan Proposal: Watch Nick at Nite
    Sometime during that conflict meant to retain the south like a burst appendix within the union for some reason, there was a convening of the brigade commanders of that breakaway contingent within the tent of one General Lee. There was much discussed and agreed upon by stately men in sober mien, whereupon they all broke up and headed for their units.

    War stories are very exciting, aren't they?

    Anyway, Lee received a blizzard of dispatches from one of his generals long before that worthy could have reached his outfit demanding instant reinforcements in great numbers or else all would be lost.

    Lee considered it. Simply as a loss of nerve. All generals in panic mode demand ever more resources and troops. Never has it been enough, not at Antietam, not at Dien Ben Phu, and it won't be at News Corpse. #peggynoonan

    Wondering if this could somehow lead to a libel suit by the RNC against Palin, which would cause her to accumulate more legal bills, so she would have to quit more jobs to write more books to pay for the legal bills, and the whole thing would get very meta. #sarahpalin
