    No Easy Way Down

    Sarah Palin gave a classically scabrous Bush/Rove speech this evening and she undoubtedly fired up the base. But that's about it.

    I think Mrs. Palin should enjoy her moment in the partisan sun...because it's going to be all downhill from now. The outright lies her speech contained this evening will surely be dissected by the press and while the conservative base couldn't care less, millions of other voters won't fall for the vacuous propaganda.

    Cynical, snide and disingenuous, Sarah Palin is nothing more than Dick Cheney in lipstick, to use the operative word of the night.

    If Americans fall for her pump and pony show, they'll get what they deserve. Nothing.
