Andrew had to be squirming with delight in his desk chair while writing that post. I only dream of bitch-slapping people in shiny syntax so smoothly.

And on Palin, she probably bought that baby from a shady Mexican medical practice.

This book will be the end of her. I know it. She dug her own grave and now she has to lie in it. #andrewsullivan

I have to admit that among the handful of opinion blogs which don't take comments, I probably read Andrew Sullivan more than the rest, but...

"factually verifiable questions is obviously not libel."

Can we call that "The Beck Defense"?

I don't know about that. But what I do know is that Glenn Beck hasn't denied claims that he raped and murdered a young girl in 1990. #andrewsullivan

@skt.smth: I'm trying to get the word "glennbeckery" to mean "Deliberately repeating innuendo and unfounded rumors while ostensibly and disingenuously expressing disbelief."

Example: Perhaps Sarah Palin and Barack Obama can exchange records and we can put an end to all this glennbeckery.

With there being so many admitted publications Sarah doesn't read, I always gave her literacy the benefit of the doubt, and figured there were a few things she did read. When guessing what that very short reading list would include, I don't think I would have guessed a gossipy blog by gay conservative. I was thinking the Sweet Valley High series would take too much room for much else.

Also, Levi might be an ex-boyfriend but he will always be da baby's daddy.

To be fair to the Alaskan idiotrix, Andy really was obsessed with the timeline of her uterine contractions to an unseemly degree. But he's right, it was a shady story- Palin as Amelia Earheart crisscrossing North America after breaking water and keeping it all a deep dark secret.

I'm already gagging on the sheer self-serving lies this Wasilla woman is dishing up, so- Team Sullivan really. #andrewsullivan

This post needs to use more accurate and efficient language to describe her book, and almost anything she says. To do otherwise is to give her room to continue to create mischief. Here's my suggestion:

"Her book: more lies." #sarahpalin

Is it possible for Sarah Palin to say or write something that doesn't ooze with smug condescension?

She's definitely borrowing from Anne Coulter's style of a.) say asshole things that appeal to just enough people to sell some books, then b.) capitalize on your notoriety as an asshole by saying the same stupid shit in a book. #sarahpalin

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

@se7a7n7: I'm not surprised. The fans shout "troll!" every time someone corrects them that she's not in fact "Governor" anymore, then they thank you for getting them one person closer to the million mark. What exactly do they think will happen when they get a million fans? She will ascend to the heavens and smite down our illegitimate Kenyan President? It's rather ridiculous. #sarahpalin
