I think Gary has just told us more than we need to know about one of his favorite male fantasies.

It doesn't resemble the Palin I saw in her speeches but does seem designed to create a lack of seriousness with her candidacy.

I guess the Left is going to try to tackle the Palin problem with another set of fresh attacks.

You guys never give up!

I beg to differ with you on your take on talk radio. Since there is no dissent or even an attempt by the mainstream media to examine this administration with any kind of qestioning eye talk radio is filling the void.

I didn't hear the comments made by the guest host on Limbaugh. I listened to him for a bit and then turned on Prager. Now there is a thoughtful and insightful person who gives a balanced take on events of the day.

You don't mention all of those wonderful radio hosts like Prager and Medved who have liberals on and give them the respect and opportunity to give an opposing view without screaming and insulting them. A courtesy the Left hasn't often given to conservative guests.

Obama promised an open, transparent government. He said he would balance the budget with cuts to offset any spending he proposed. He promised to be bi-partisan ("I won... you didn't') doesn't sound very concilatory I think you'd agree.

In all of these points he has failed miserably. Amassing debt that Bush accrued in 8 years in less than 100 days, failing to allow a disclosure of that bloated mess of a budget so that most in Congress had not even read it nor the public allowed time to do so either.

The Left has to take the blame for much of the heightened political rhetoric. You have spent 8 years spewing the most hateful speech towards Cheney and Bush...most of it personal and denigrating.

Now you expect the Republicans to show restraint when they have been shut out of the political debate except to ask that they sign on to whatever the administration wants. Obama has shown himself to be a bitter partisan with his comments on our party and anyone he thinks is influential in it.

Using his presidential podium Obama has personally gone out of his way to criticise Steele and Limbaugh. It has been beneath the office he holds and all that it represents.

He has made himself a polarizing figure and seems to relish the role as witnessed by his statements made at the dinner the other night and his enjoyment of the "comedy".

If the Democrats don't want a repeat of the Bush years then I suggest you show restraint and respect for the opposition party.

Apparently victory hasn't given your party enough satisfaction to wipe out the vitroil and hatred you so obviously felt for more than 8 years.

Look to yourselves to find out the source of that spite and hatred.

Examine how your side accepts criticism or dissent. What happened to Miss California is a telling example of the ugly and hateful way the Left accepts a dissenting opinion.

Take the rafter out of your own eye before you point out the splinter in someone else's eye.

I find it amusing that so many here have such decided opinions on talk radio when I doubt that many have actually listened to it for any length of time.

I would find your outrage more believeable if I saw the same desire to control the hate speech from your own favorites. Instead I see the obvious relish and glee the Left has in skewering their political opponents.

And if you had expressed this desire for constraint in political talk during the Bush years I think you would have more credibility in bringing up the subject now.

It seems more like a need to suppress opposing views, as in the Miss California episode I mentioned earlier.

That is troubling, along with the hypocrisy of decrying the tone of political debate, when you consider the shrillness of the last 8 years.

For the poster who mentioned the Clinton "haters"...a term used in the print press but somehow missing during all the Bush years: Clinton distractors look like rank amateurs when you stack them up to the rhetoric directed at the Bush administration. And you forget the gusto the Left used to go after Bork, North, and Thomas elevating the politics of personal destruction to an art form.

Again..look at the rafter in your own eye before you try to remove the splinter from your neighbor's.

Just a though. The concern for the tone of political debate here could start with some polite respect for your hostess here who routinely is hauled through the mud no matter what subject she converses on.

Apparently Liberals will eat their own. A tough crowd.
