She's not running for VP in '08. She's running for President in 2012. I suggest in the intervening years, she go back to college, pay attention this time, and learn that part of "rugged individualism" is NOT having Grover Norquist, Rush Limbaugh, The Christianists, and Bill Kristol pulling your strings all at once. If you can get through this without a chill running down your spine, you aren't paying attention. She's a complete Norquist puppet now, and she couches it in reproductive terms by putting the government as part of your family. Wow. There's more dog whistles in that ill-formed, half-witted harangue than at the Westminster Kennel Club.

Not just the Bush Republicans

Bush Republicans: Getting the government off your back and putting it between your sheets.

Its hardly just the Bush Republicans -- that's been a key Republican philosophy ever since the Moral Majority tried to take over the Republican Party, and the Christian Coalition succeeded where the former failed (or, rather, didn't entirely succeed.)

Though I will grant that the election of Bush the Lesser marked the high water mark of that wing of the party.

Isn't this the same speech...

... where someone shouted out the N-word in reference to Obama? Where's the MSM on this one?

From this morning's

From this morning's Electoral-Vote.com regarding Ted Stevens' conviction:

If Stevens is reelected anyway, then expelled from the Senate in January, a vacancy will be created and there will be a special election. No doubt Sarah Palin will be very tempted to run and would surely win. This would inject her into national politics in a big way very fast. But the chance of Stevens being reelected next week is small.

How scary is that?

I told the Congress "Thanks..."

How scary is that?

Some, but maybe she'd show her real self too much and become a true Washington Insider while sitting in the very back row of the Dem controlled body. A little off her plan to "run the Senate" to do whatever she wants as VP. Heh.

Did you read what Hitchens said about her? Best post of his ever. Some:

...This is what the Republican Party has done to us this year: It has placed within reach of the Oval Office a woman who is a religious fanatic and a proud, boastful ignoramus. Those who despise science and learning are not anti-elitist. They are morally and intellectually slothful...
