Good Lord! I somehow missed that one. So much for the "John McCain is a better man than his presidential campaign/his handlers are forcing him to act like a humorless, spiteful old bully" meme. In some ways, that comment is more vicious than Rush's.

You're so full of it your breath stinks and I can smell it from here. It is soooo refreshing to finally have an intelligent President who also knows the definition of common sense. The current administration has and continues to reach out to the Republication Party, but all most of them know is say "No," without presenting any alternatives. The Obama administration wants to be as inclusive as possible,

That doesn't sound like common sense that sounds like he's a creep. He was the Democratic contender who was voted in to put in place a Democratic agenda. Reaching out to the war criminals party, except to put the cuffs on, should never have been part of the brief. But you're alright with that are you? You're one smug complaint is that the Repugs aren't responding to his reaching out.

Do you actually want a one party state or something?
Because that's where all that "reaching out" crap leads to.

I'm surprised not to have heard more speculation about a connection to the Steve Schmidt emails about her husband's AIP membership and disregard for any pretense of truthfulness thereabout. I guess there are so many examples we're completely desensitized.

Another one bights the dust. This is about the end of an entire world view that is simply wrong, has been demonstratively proven to be wrong, and those who would cling to it in desperation, regardless.

She's probably already signed a contract with Runner's World or something else sports-related, IF the criminal indictment falls through. Jus' sayin'.

WTF??!!?? 'Splain, please.

... with that crazy woman blathering on. Nice crowd too; what was the cast of "Deliverence" not available?

Any woman who does not even have enough sense to get a decent haircut does not have enough sense to...make sense. Get ready for the next Palin shoe to drop. Should be huge.

Although I am most definitely not a kindred ideologue, I still find it admirable that Palin rose, from sheer hard work and considerably more executive experience than the current president, to the Vice-presidential nomination.

McCain showed guts and socio-political far-sightedness to choose Gov. Palin as his running-mate. It's a first for the Republicans to have a woman as their V-P candidate and, in this sense, she definitely did manage to crack the ceiling. At last, the Republicans had a real member of their base to look up to and not a dilettante or brutal papa's boy! Her first speech with McCain was one of the best and, unlike the teleprompter-prompted rhetorical pyrotechnics of her opponent (for she, in fact, at that time in the primary was competing with a truly frightened pre-market-crash Obama and not Biden!) her chutzpah and resolute promise to "serve with a servant's heart" were memorable in their resoluteness and formed an instant bond with her captive audience. That was a great speech delivered with heart-felt passion and commitment to civic duty.

Palin also learned herself the hard way that Hillary Clinton was indeed subjected to despicably sexist and slanderous treatment by those media worms of prey crawling at CNN/MSNBC/CBS/FOX/NBC,and thuggish partisan bloggers. Palin had said in an interview that she thought Hillary Clinton should not complain about the "sexist treatment" and just "take it from the neanderthals like I have had to, and deal with it". Of course that was before the eye-opener primary of her own where she learned that being a woman would attract misogynist media attention that would make the Taleban proud. Her absolutely horrifying treatment in the hands of the misogynist media fratboys and the Obama campaign slanderers (remember their T-shirts' unprintable woman-hating slogans?) who would stoop lower than an anorexic worm to vilify her and her daughters will live in history books as an example of what can happen to a self-made woman who harbors high ambitions of public service--regardless of her party affiliation. Nothing remained sacred for these pseudo-journalistic worms of prey.

Even incest was debated openly in Obama-friendly press and anti-Palin bloggers had gone wild with testaments of anything from bestiality to pedophilia and in-family breeding! Palin, after all, was a woman who dared to seek high office, so her family was seen as fair game. What better way to wound a woman than through her children, eh? Misogynists deeply understand this. Remember that venomous worm McCafferty of CNN when he called Clinton "a scolding Mother"? The neanderthal had truly meant that as an insult! But I guess the frightened media worms wanted to teach a tough lesson to ANY young girl who wanted to grow up and become--horrors of horrors--a...politician. But let's still hope for some real change.

Let's hope that the misogynist propaganda of these worms of prey on our screens and printed pages will not be allowed to succeed. Their Agenda must be seen for what it is. We can begin by realizing that Palin is not a 'monster' (as Obama's learned foreign policy advisor Samantha Powers had insisted Clinton was!)but a woman politician who, regardless of whether we agree with her politics, still has a role to play on the political stage. To drown out her voice by slandering her or her daughters is a neanderthal's way of aborting the future potential of all girls. Surely, social myopia is not an incurable affliction! So,let's hope for real change--and soon.

Readerreader: "Here's a prediction. I think Palin, after swerving like a fox out of her governorship, is now going to pivot and try to emulate William McKinley in 1896."

More predictions... So useful. I love how you try to characterize an awkward resignation as "swerving like a fox."

"That man didn't just fall on his ass, sir -- he tested the structural integrity of the ground's concrete by using the perceptive resistance of his buttocks."

I think you've spent so much time and energy applying polish to turds that you no longer can identify one.
