Overheard: my boss, a lawyer, speculating with another lawyer about the Supreme Court justices a President Palin might have nominated: "She doesn't even know any members of the Supreme Court!"

Off subject:
My 2 children would always argue when splitting something like a candy bar in half. I solved that problem by offering, "One of you will get to cut the candy bar in half, but the other gets to choose which half they want". This solved the problem and cutting the candy bar in half became a time consuming chore that the ended up with a bar split in half and often I couldn't tell which half was the larger.
Now I call on FOX news, "You set the rules on what is OK for a president, so now stick to them, because I choose the rules you set for Bush to apply to Obama."
As many opportunistic whores as McBush must have met in his lifetime, you'd think he would have seen this one coming.

As a beauty-pageant veteran, surely Sarah knows that Miss America doesn't cart around a large wardrobe during her reign. That's because every day she's in a different city meeting new people, so no one remembers which outfit she's worn before. Sarah could have managed with far fewer clothes. Who remembers how many different pantsuits Hillary wore?

Lieberman is still a sore point with me and apparently some in the Democratic caucus. Nothing came of the meeting between Lieberman and Reid this morning however it sure sounds like Reid is waiting to see on which side of the aisle those last three seats land. If that is the case this annoys me more than you can imagine. Sounds like they would keep the whiny assed bastard in the Dem caucus if those last go Republican. Surely with 57 Dems they could convince 3 to swing their way on issues.
So when McCain went to SNL last Saturday and stood next to a lapel-rubbing, "palin in 2012" t-shirt hawking Tina Fey, he did know exactly what was going on.

By my standards, that is a hell of a lot of money. I am sure Dillards or Macy's would have been able to provide Palin with 3 suits and whatever for a lot less than $25,000. Of course, it seems Mrs. Palin's tastes are not those of the average shopper, not when she "loots Saks and Neimans"

Sorry, compared with Cindy McCain, Sarah's wardrobe expenses just aspirational. At one of Mc Pain's rallies, Cindy was wearing an outfit (including wristwatch) that exceeded 300,000 dollars. Sarah was just gettin' down with the rich folk in the lower 48, you betcha.

I'd love to have that $25,000. I'd stash it in my sadly depleted IRA and continue shopping where I buy most of my clothes, namely Sears and Penney's, or -- if I get a Christmas bonus and can afford to "splurge" -- one or two things from L.L. Bean.

$3000 to $4000 a piece for an outfit isn't that far out of line for high end boutique clothing. A good suit, after alterations, can easily run $2500. Shoes come in at $100 to $200 - boots as much a $400 to $600. Dress shirts can easily cost $200. Foundation garments, hosiery, jewelry and such round out the cost

For a woman over forty (as I am) who's had multiple kids (as I have not) certain things sag. A good, supportive bra will cost about $60. Other support/shaping garments are about the same. They make the $2500 suit fit correctly.

As always, it is important to focus on the fact that Palin did not pick herself for the role of V.P. No, the pig that chose lipstick Palin was McCain, along with his campaign.
McCain's lack of judgement picked Palin, the worst vice president candidate in the history of the United States. McCain's campaign went along with the pick and did the shittiest job of vetting a candidate that I can think of.
KISSman

That's how I feel. Palin was a horrible pick, but McCain chose her. He had a lot of options when it came to picking someone who would actually be qualified to be VP. Of the bunch, he picked the one who wasn't equipped for the job. No matter how bad Palin was, the blame falls on McCain.

Yes, she did pick herself. She had a choice in accepting or not accepting the position. She's either so un-self aware of her ignorance, or she's an ego-maniac who thinks she's more clever than anyone else and can pull the wool over the rest of us.

Funny, The GOP traditionally LOVES themselves a he-said-she-said argument. But that's usually because it's based on argument with Democrats, and their plan is always to blur reality to the point where the average voter doesn't know what's true, so they either don't vote, or go to the Daddy party, the party the military leaders tend to flock to, oh yeah, the GOP makes everything all better...
Sorry, threw up in my mouth a little...
But anyway, when it comes to intra-party fighting, he-said-she-said-fighting gets tricky as well as ugly. But here's my 2 cents on the matter. Both of their reputations are trash. McCain is a helluva lot older, and I don't think any of us will be shocked if he decides to retire after his current term. Palin has the potential to be around for DECADES (especially if Stevens has to be replaced and she decides that she herself is the ideal replacement. It gives her a "Get into the Senate for free" card she'll play as hard as she can). So if she has potentially more fo a future in the GOP than McCain and people are still slamming her in an attempt to defend McCain (who will probably cease to be a political factor within a few years) it must mean Palin's level of Awful is far beyond the pale. It's almost like they're trying to warn the party that her way lies madness.
Problem is, they're preaching to the Kool-Aid drinkers and ultra-right-wingers who like her flavor of madness. Makes 'em all warm and tingly. If the GOP truly becomes a regaional party for a generation (fingers crossed), it's because moderate Republicans will realize just how nutty those that would tie their hopes around palin truly are, and leave the party and not look back. They won't continue to try to save it, to change it from within, it'll be all here's your hrat, what's your hurry. Whether they find themselves drifting enough to the left to be Dems, or try to launch a legitimate third party (as the ultra-right-wingers always threatened they themselves would do) I don't know. It's also possible that this will be water under the bridge in a few weeks. But I think the more rational and the more Machiavellian of the Republicans have seen the future of the party. The plebes that have been always easy enough to mollify, the ones who were always promised their Values-based issues would become top priority once the GOP had majorities in Washington, saw their majorities in Washington, and still precious few of their Values issues saw the light of day. So now they're taking their party in the direction they want it to go, and they're not waiting for the old guard to sign off it, much like kos predicted the left would do in Crashing the Gate. But for the right to try to launch that sort of political revolution, using similar means but with a much more fear-based agenda? It's gonna scare everyone but that wingnut base.

Palin was a disgrace, and the biggest mistake made by McCain. Not only did he show poor judgment, he also put this country into risk by choosing someone as ignorant and of low caliber like her, who could be a heartbeat away from the Presidency. What sort of leader chooses a running mate without vetting him/her? Now that all the dirty linen is being aired for the public to see, it seems that thankfully, the majority of American people, were able to see through her, and voted against McCain.

They're eating themselves now. John McCain only has himself to blame for trying to win over these crazed right wingers with another crazed right winger. You could almost see his annoyance in full display during his concession speech when they'd start their mob chants of "USA USA" Palin in 2012" and the assorted "BOOOO's" whenever he'd mention Obama. It was I think distasteful to have to appeal to these knuckle draggers for him, but it was his choice to do so and it was his choice to use their low blow tactics as his own. So while it may be distasteful to have to deal with these idiots, it was always his decision to make. And so now he has to deal with a party that thinks Obama is a "terrorist" and that Sarah Palin in all her ignorance and stupidity is "the future of the gOP"

I don't think anybody -- even us -- expected her to go out and buy second-hand clothes. Politics is an image-driven business and you need quality duds. If she had just dropped $25 K on some clothes for herself, I don't think we'd be having this conversation. And that's the point. She just never considered the implications or the potential fallout from what she did.

Apparently Palin gave a news conference saying she wasn't going to comment on not knowing the answer about Africa until she knows who made the comment (as if saying "no comment" wasn't good enough or just out-and-out denying it). She wants to know who said it and she's going to kill them. Of course, you'll notice she hasn't had a news conference about walking half naked in front of politicos or spending $125,000 more on clothes than she was supposed to or that she clothed her family expensively on that RNC dole payout. She wants names and she wants them NOW! No, she's not a diva....
