WTF??? Palin goes from goat to heroine???
WTF has happened with the media and Palin? Last week the commentators could barely contain their snickers at how stupid she was/is, and how bad a pick she was for McCain.

Today all the pundits are talking in glowing terms about her, and what a brilliant strategic move it was for the Republicans to choose her. Palin. The dumbshit who thinks that the Earth is 5,000 years old, who couldn't think her way out of a paper bag, and who thinks that she would be doing all of creation a favor if she could bring on the second coming by pressing that big red button.

There's only one possible conclusion. We are bought and sold. We are one big sorry ass group of dumb MF'ers.

1. Keeping her locked up has also kept her wacky views from being exposed.
The media are a bunch of lapdogs and they will only report word for word what someone else says. That is why Obama or Biden needed to go on record with this stuff. But they stayed out of it and let McCain turn her into wonder woman.

4. I don't give a shit about fair anymore, but...
it definitely is a fair issue to bring up the fact that Palin WANTS the end of the world to come. She is one scary stupid female neandrathal.

9. Yep.
That's what I keep thinking, too.

We are indeed a nation of dumbos, but we're also a nation of short attention span dumbos. She's probably peaked, and as her truly craptastic record of being an awful mayor and governor is more closely examined, the star will fade.
