I've only noticed your amazing ability to ignore reality. And also that you continue to ignore Dave's point that you completely made up that "fact" that Palin received recommendations from pundits to quit.

And super-hard to believe we've (well, most of us outside AK) not even "known" her for ONE FULL YEAR yet...

You noticed. Thanks for caring about me.

It is almost sad to watch you continue to grasp at straws while your hero Sarah Palin goes down in flames.

I would just slink away quietly, 36, probably a lot easier. Hell - take a lesson from your idol and just quit already! You can strategically hold a press conference late on a Friday so that no one notices. HA HA!!

Oops - sorry - well, I guess I did say it was *almost* sad.

I see, so by having her oh-so-many flaws as a candidate pointed out in the open light for all to see...that is somehow helping her? Or, sorry, making her a "superstar"??

Seriously man, you're as crazy as Caribou Barbie is.

Actually, I think it was Mccain that first put her on the national stage -- the left had nothing to do with it. Then she made herself tabloid fodder with her thin-skinned, histrionic antics (in a train-wreck manner reminiscent of Spears or Lohan). Honestly, I think she made herself a 'superstar' with very little help from the left at all.

Oh, and for the record, I generally register as an Independent.

Don't be too hasty - George W. Bush couldn't finish his "war on terror," or the occupation of Iraq, or the capture of Osama bin Laden, or ... well, most anything except his tax cuts. Things started by politicians unable to complete them tend to become problems left to the capable folks elected to follow them.

" Sarah Palin: neither a leader nor a politician, but a personality." How true, and well stated, Roehl. I love it!

What did she lose? You radical lefties made her a superstar.

I'm glad to provide the service. It's all about helping my fellow man.

Palin can't finish anything - not college, not political office, not bashing the media. That gives me hope if she starts anything else!

Great comeback you get the golden rebound award for the family values reference.

Or like Frasier Crane watching Woody Boyd run for city council and realizing that Woody might possibly run for President someday and somehow win. In a way, Sarah is Woody without any of his good traits.

I got a free couple of minutes and fact-checked what I wrote. It checks out. But it WAS fun to bone up on my history, so good advice!

I bet most of the people who don't like 3 hate Hitler, too. I guess he must support him.

What an irrational mindset.

One guy =/= "virtually every". And Simon certainly didn't tell her to do this in the middle of her term.

All of the pundits--just like Sarah reads all of the magazines! :-)

Either way, I think 36763 is actually an Obama supporter who is doing a spoof of a Palin supporter. He's certainly doing a good job of it.

Why doth break foul wind, 36763?

EDIT: Another way to say to blow something out...

Hrm. People who don't like you also hate Charles Manson and John Wayne Gacy....does that mean you'd support them for the WH, too?

Hey, at least they're still practicing proper family values! Sadly, Republicans no longer have that particular thing they love thanks to Ensign and Sanford!

Great comment, Patrick12.

Don't worry, 36. We've been marking yours..you know..the ones about the left "being terrified of Palin" and how "if Palin runs in 2012, Obama doesn't stand a chance", etc. How does that crow taste? Better than the rue, I bet.

Actually...I'd really, really rather not -- if I want nightmares, I'll stick to horror movies...

Hey Dave, Meffy, Chredon, Nevada, et al;

I've just figured it out! 3 and all the Palindrones have written a new secret history of America. That's why when everyone points out the flaws 3 keeps telling us to "bone up" on our history. We need Tom Hanks to get on the case here. There's obviously a code at work.

Meffy — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 21:58:32 -0000

@Tom: At least in the post I saw, 3 did specify pundits, not elected officials. But after specifying "virtually every pundit," when challenged he couldn't even come up with more than one pundit... so I suppose it hardly matters, does it?
