Can I second “huh”? PS, I support the right to bear arms, but still think having a baby shower at a shooting range is stupid, boring, and weird. ---

It’s an irritatingly stupid and childish expression that no adult should ever use, but I can’t really have a go at Palin for saying it if it was a dig at Gibbs. ---

Obama used it first, Gibbs tried to explain it to the press. It’s still somewhat unclear the precise meaning Obama gave to this. ---

Why on earth would you have a baby shower at a gun range? Gun ranges don’t have CHAIRS. I would not go to a baby shower that did not have chairs. ---

Not that I actually LIKE baby showers, but indoors, comfortable seating and no loud booms going on is pretty much what I prefer [and something other than beef jerky, beer nuts and beer, which is about as classy as her whole family strikes me.] ---

Palin is like a silly little child who’ll do or say anything no matter how pathetic to get peoples attention, any attention. Unfortunately for her, virtually no one gives a shit what she does just so long as she isn’t in any position of responsibility. ---

The hall at my local rod and gun club has been used for parties and wedding receptions, it would be an okay place for a baby shower. ---

I’m a liberal and I’ve gotten “all weeded-up”. Why would she give their baby a shower at a shooting range? Do they have special showers just for babies? Cheetos sound really good right now. ---

Palin is at her least provocative when she’s trying to be provocative. It’s when she shoots for “normal” or “well-informed” that I pay attention. But I do not get all “wee-weed up”? And what kind of juvenile potty talk is that, anyhow?
