    Pallin' around with terrorists, eh, Sarah?

    Hypocrite, thy name is Sarah Palin. Your nonsensical and grammatically-challenged rants on the campaign trail about Senator Obama and his "connections" to a guy who:

    1) did detestable things 40 years ago (and which Sen. Obama denounced as such);

    2) was appointed to an education board by Walter Annenberg, who was Reagan's close friend and ambassador to Britain; and

    3) has been named Chicago's Citizen of the Year (1997)

    now seem even more desperately transparent than Sen. McCain's non-suspension of his non-campaign.

    So here you are, shooting wolves from helicopters, charging rape victims for test kits, praying the gay away, and hanging out with thugs who want to SECEDE from the union (according to Joe Vogel, by violence if necessary). Um, I really thought it couldn't get any worse, or more antiquated, than witch-hunting. I suppose you've got me there. Secession is 19th century; witch-hunting is 17th century. But really, come on, Governor!

    Your HUSBAND was a member of the AIP for SEVEN YEARS. Even after nine freaking eleven. In 2002 he changed his registration to "undeclared." Gee, would that be a coincidence, since you ran for statewide office soon after?

    Would you please just get back to spying on Russia from your back yard? We have a country to run. And at last count, that country included fifty, count 'em fifty states.

    You would be a joke if you weren't so freakin' implausible. Matt Damon was wrong. Your story is so out-there that even Disney wouldn't green-light it. You make me sick.
