She was "impessive" in the way a snake is impressive in it's cold-blooded, ambush-style attacks. It would have been more impressive if she had actually written the speech she gave and wasn't just the pretty, new mouthpiece for Karl Rove & Co.

PS - Why was she wearing body-armor under that oh-so-Repubican jacket?

PPS - I didn't see a flag pin on her lapel!

I see this election as nothing more than entertainment. I don't like either candidate for President so I am going to just sit out this election. If John McCain and Barack Obama are the best we can come up we are in trouble. Therefore I am going to make some popcorn and just sit back and watch as democrats and republicans trade insults until November. The nuts sure do come out during the election season. Thanks for the entertainment.

You might have forgotten, since coverage of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan has been wiped from the U.S. press - more proof of "liberal bias in the media", isn't it?

Let's take a trip down the Memory Hole:

A Scandal Greater Than Watergate

By Eric Margolis, Contributing Foreign Editor

Toronto Sun, 2-1-2004

"We were all wrong," White House chief weapons hunter and longtime war booster David Kay admitted last week. There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, as the U.S. and Britain had long alleged."

"Iraq's nuclear weapons, death rays, vans of death, drones of death, mobile germ labs, poison gas factories, hidden weapons depots, long-range missiles, links to al-Qaida - all were bogus."

"The only thing real is Iraq's oil."

"If Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction (WMD), as it long insisted, we must draw one of two conclusions."

"Either President George Bush, and secretaries Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld, lied about the global threat they claimed Iraq posed, and deceived Congress and the American people. Or, they were grossly misinformed by their intelligence experts and must be judged fools of the first order."

"If Bush and his team of chest-thumping, self-proclaimed national security experts were really misinformed about Iraq's weapons and capabilities, then they started a war by mistake - and presided over the two biggest national security fiascos since Pearl Harbor: the 9/11 attacks and the invasion of Iraq."

"It turns out President Saddam Hussein, whom Bush repeatedly branded a "liar," was in fact telling the truth all along when he said all of Iraq's old weapons systems had been destroyed. It was Bush and British PM Tony Blair who weren't telling the truth."

What a record. What a team.

They'll go down in history, that's for sure.

"The American neofascist movement seized control of the U.S. government in a fraudulent election in 2000."

Something like that, I imagine.... or is it a neocommunist movement?

I could never tell the difference, personally.

You don't get it, looking slutty for ones husband is not equivalent to actually BEING a Slut whenever possible. Her husband is one lucky guy.

What I want to know is how you can be certain her husband took that picture and if he did, how do you know it didn't get exchanged in a chatroom with some other sexual deviants.

You know, the kind of people we all hang out with but don't like to admit to doing in public.

"Which is better? Try to run a clean campaign while your opponent goes for personal attacks, or get into the mudslinging and give them even more fodder for personal attacks?"

Can't there be a middle ground? Biden could have easily eliminated the first part of his response - where he praises Palin - and simply stated the second part in a firm manner.

The attacks don't have to be personal and the compliments should be nil.

Then you're saying its ok to mock her time as mayor? I don't Obama ever claimed that his community organizing experience qualified him to run for president. If anything, Obama used that experience to bolster the claim that he was in touch with "regular" people and that he had a commitment to public service. He graduated at the top of his class at Harvard, he obviously could have done anything he wanted to do.

But to move on to the criticism of Palin's mayoral stint. Ron Dellums the mayor of Oakland, my town, governs a population of half a million people, just shy of the total population of Alaska. He was a Senator for thirty years before that, but I don't think anyone would argue that he should be the vice president of the United States based simply on that. How silly. There'd be about 400 more qualified applicants for the vice presidency using that yardstick.

Remember those emails that have been circulating about Obama and Michelle, making all kinds of insane accusations and insinutations about them? I received one (from someone who believed everything in it), and it was one of the most offensive things I've ever read. (And, I'm not even an Obama fan.)

What do you think the GOP (or Glenn's whiny trolls, for that matter) would do if similar items started circulating about Sarah Palin?

Michigan Man Accused of RNC Molotov Cocktail Plot

23-Year-Old Allegedly Wanted to 'Make Some Bombs' to Disrupt GOP Convention

By JASON RYAN

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3, 2008—

The FBI has arrested a 23-year-old Michigan man who allegedly wanted to make a chemical bomb and attempted to disrupt the Republican National Convention by making Molotov cocktails.

According to a criminal complaint against Matthew Bradley DePalma unsealed today, DePalma allegedly told an FBI informant about his desire to "make some bombs" in order to cancel the convention.

The FBI learned about DePalma's alleged intentions after the informant, who was in communication with an FBI special agent, met DePalma at a July meeting called CrimethInc. Convergence. The gathering included members of the Republican National Convention Welcoming Committee, an anarchist group described on its Web site as "an anarchist/anti-authoritarian organizing body."

Court documents in the case indicate the FBI closely watched DePalma after he allegedly intended to undertake acts of violence. According to the documents, he allegedly stated his desire to attack police, saying, "I will light one of those pigs on fire."

The federal public defenders office, which is representing DePalma, declined to comment on the matter.

DePalma, who was arrested Saturday on one count of possession of firearms that were not registered to him, could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

According to court records, the FBI informant learned that DePalma, of Flint, Mich., had traveled to Minneapolis and arranged to stay with the informant. With the informant's consent, the FBI rigged the informant's apartment with audio and video surveillance.

"DePalma expressed his desire to build a chemical bomb that he could use to cause a power outage at the Xcel Center& DePalma stated that the [informant's] apartment would be a good place to make the bomb," the FBI affidavit in the case said.

According to the affidavit, DePalma allegedly obtained the supplies needed for Molotov cocktails on Aug. 21. The next day, "DePalma stated that, if he can bomb the Xcel center on Sept. 1, 'they might call it off' referring to the convention. He added that 'a power outage would say a lot' and 'that is my main purpose.' Alternatively, DePalma stated that he would like to bomb the Xcel center on Sept. 4 so that the convention would 'end with a bang,'" according to the affidavit.

On Aug. 22, "DePalma manufactured two jugs of a homemade napalmlike substance for use in Molotov cocktails," the court records allege....

I wonder if he is related to Bart? You know, like from the good side of the family.

Seriously, though. If true, he should get seven years.

No one else who wasn't involved in this type of letal shit will do any serious time, if any time at all.
