    Thanks, but no thanks

    A few short weeks ago Sarah was the toast of the town. An unknown with "Thanks, but no thanks" dripping sarcastically from her well lipsticked mouth.

    Now she is a liar having been caught for bridge to nowhere, hiring lobbyists for earmarks, a road to nowhere, stonewalling ethics investigations, parading her children around for her to use anyway she wants but daring the press to even say word one about her poor teenager partying 16 year old because then it becomes sexist. Her hunger for power even slipped one speech ago where she said a "Palin/McCain" ticket instead of putting her benefactor first.

    Was that Freudian or was it said purposefully.

    Doesn't matter. She is no longer the maverick, the crusader, the protected from interviews unknown bright shiny star. She is the same old "same old" having been linked with not only Bush the inept but Cheney the Darth Vader.
