“Perhaps she can be adopted by Falcon the balloon boy's parents...­.”

“Republicans prefer the Cliff Notes versions of legislation. That's why their bills are written on cocktail napkins. They tend to be expositorily challenged.”

“Chapter 1
See Sarah. See Sarah run. Run, Sarah run!

Chapter 2
See Sarah. See Sarah lie to her constituency. See Sarah use her children to promote a personal and political agenda. See Sarah stumble during network interviews and the VPOTUS debate. See Sarah lose the election.

Chapter 3
See Sarah try to convince Alaskans that she's not a quitter, that's why she's quitting. See Sarah use McCain's gift of celebrity status to make a fast buck. See Sarah demonstrate her superficial understanding of complex issues with every public utterance.

Chapter 4
See Sarah. See Sarah want to run again. See the RNC tell Sarah, "No, Sarah, No!" and the DNC shout "Yes, Sarah, Yes!"

Chapter 5
See Sarah pursue her new career in news broadcasting -- delivering the weather forecast for a local Alaskan TV station. "Today, Anchorage.­......it will be COLD. (Brrrrrrrrr!) Tomorrow, it will be COLDER, doggone it. (Brrrrrrrrrrr!) Back to you, Frank."”

“Remember, GWB is proof positive that, in America, any knucklehead can grow up to become President.”

“The conservative base of the GOP has been disassociating itself from its more moderate membership for a while now. Every time someone from their inner circle opens his/her mouth, their appeal to the majority of Americans further plummets.

At the current rate at which these Limbaugh-lovers are burning their bridges, the only way they will be able to return to the White House is by a coup.”

“So you don't agree with the argument that we need a public option. Fine, that's your prerogative.

That doesn't mean you have to abandon compassion for those who have suffered due to the failure of the health care system. It's symptomatic of the right wing mindset:
"I've got mine. To hell with everyone else."”

“Of course, the only person he asks is himself while having a meaningful conversation with the mirror.”

“Once again we see the direct correlation between the extent of a religion's orthodoxy and the magnitude of its intolerance of those who do not share their tenets, politics, or lifestyle choices.”

“Palin and the Plumber .... sounds like yet another "Dumb and Dumber" sequel.”

“Once again, we are seeing evidence that right wingers do not let reality get in the way of their rhetoric.”

“The main contention of the right wing naysayers is that there were some irregularities in voter registrations gathered by ACORN employees. No argument here.

But registrations do not equal votes. There is NO evidence whatsoever that any invalid registrations led to invalid voting. None. Zero.

But then, right wingers rarely let reality get in the way of their rhetoric (or their delusions).”

“Remember, in 2003 FOX News won a court decision in which they fervently fought for the right to intentionally lie, distort the facts, and mislead their audience.”

“Too bad. Was looking forward to the headline "Palins pained over Johnston's johnson".”

“Perhaps they were inspired by that loony Lambert b*tch.”

“aka the "Fresh, Steaming Pile" tour.”

“Birds of a feather...”

“Is that akin to Prejean's "opposite marriage"?
Facts are facts. She can dispute someone's motives, but she cannot dispute the facts.”

“Perhaps bookstores should simply move the Palin book to the "fiction" section... problem solved.”

“Reporters and journalists do it when the reply is an obvious attempt to sidestep, deflect, and be evasive. Politicians routinely avoid answering reporters' questions, but few are so thin-skinned that they take it personally when the reporter rephrases and asks again.”

“So are people suggesting that the government should simply take all of the accused out to a back alley and shoot them in the head, then dump them in an unmarked mass grave? Or perhaps throw them in "the dungeon" for the rest of their lives?

Cause we certainly would not want to put them on trial and PROVE their guilt in a court of law, now would we? That would be the civilized, "American" thing to do.”

“This book was rushed to press so rapidly that it's no surprise that little fact-checking was done.

Palin has burned her bridges with the RNC in order to make a quick buck. Her fan base may well still adore her, but her modest viability as a legitimate political candidate will be forever tarnished as a result.”

“Smug, arrogant, self-righteous, thin-skinned, quick-tempered, lose with the facts...
Aren't they the same person?”

“Oh, so that's the true meaning of the whole "valley of the shadow of death" metaphor. Good to know.”

“The irony is that Stewart's faux news show -- which airs on Comedy Central -- is far more factually accurate than anything being broadcast on FOX News.”

“Rules are for the little people, not the Princess of Darkness.”
