The losers who gave us Sarah Palin

The GOP operatives who championed her should be held accountable for endangering the country

    @ Joe Conason

    Joe,

    You have it all wrong - Palin was presented by operatives, accepted by a political party, and not picked by the people of the US. Its called and election Joe and lots of people run.

    What's interesting is that you have to come back at this woman constantly after the fact of the election. Move on bro.

    If she is so lame and worthless then she is no threat.

    However, if you keep her in the media spotlight and BO screws up really bad (if Michelle allows him to live through the night tonight) - then she may seem like a viable alternative to the administration which looks to be excaberating the problems left over by W.

    Keep her in the news Joe - try to take the spotlight off POTUS and his penchant to repeat every economic mistake made by FDR.

    If she ever does get elected as President, it will be people like you that we will look to as those who made it possible for her to stay famous and potent.

    Thanks for the free advertising Dude.
