    Ugh...

    Jesus christ... Four web pages devoted to what? Can no one news and opinion outlet be free from this kind of garbage? My subscription just expired and it is because of junk like this column that I am not re-upping.

    No one was stupider than Couric? I am grateful that between Couric and Tina Fey, America was most probably saved from total and utter destruction. Thank god they were there to dispel any attempt by the right-wing to paint Palin as a qualified "woman-of-the-people."

    We've had eight years of people making decisions from their "gut instinct" and look where it has brought us. Thank god Couric and Fey were there to help convince the "unwashed masses" (who otherwise would've believed the right-wing garbage) how unfit for office this woman really was.

    People like her are dangerous for America. Let her keep guarding the Alaskan border from the Ruskies. That's a good job for her.
