Bathory is really apt. There is a celebratio­n of sorts here, bathing in blood. And the whiff of insanity or megalomani­a fits. Didn't a few in Alaska (former supporters in fact) call her a sociopath, as per Shannyn Moore?

Oh, have you heard the story of Aimee McPherson?
Aimee McPherson, that wonderful person,
She weighed a hundred eighty and her hair was red
She preached a wicked sermon, so the papers all said.

Now, Aimee built herself a radio station
To broadcast her preaching to the nation.
She found a man named Armistead who knew enough
To run the radio while Aimee did her stuff.

Now, they had a camp meeting out at Ocean Park
Preached from early morning 'til after dark.
Said the benedictio­n, then folded up the tents,
And nobody knew where Aimee went.

Now, Aimee McPherson got back from her journey,
She told her tale to the district attorney.
Said she'd been kidnapped on a lonely trail.
And in spite of all the questions, she stuck to her tale.

Well, the Grand Jury started an investigat­ion,
Uncovered a lot of spicy informatio­n.
Found out about a love nest down at Carmel-by-­the-Sea,
Where the liquor was expensive and the loving was free.

They found a little cottage with a breakfast nook,
A folding bed with a worn-out look.
The slats was busted and the springs was loose,
And the dents in the mattress fitted Aimee's caboose.

Now I'll end my story in the usual way,
About a lady preacher's holiday.
If you don't get the moral then you're the gal for me
Cause there's still a lot of cottages down at Carmel-by-­the-Sea.

Just replace Aimee with Sarah and Armistead with Murdoch...­......but I don't think Sarah is even that smart.

Well, let's keep in mind that Palin's "book" is published by HarperColl­ins which is owned by none other than NewsCorp (e.g. Rupert Murdoch and his FoxNews sham). Meanwhile, Huckabee's little effort is published by Sentinel. So who do you think is going to get the Fox propaganda machinery behind them when they're touring. Plus, I'm sure Rupert would much prefer to have a brain dead bimbo who can be controlled at the top of the ticket than a man who has more than once demonstrat­ed some integrity.­..

Oh, I'm quite aware that Palin is a product of the Faux Noise machine. In fact, the bookstore is owned by ANCO, which is also very generous with conservati­ve, um, "causes."
