Levi Johnston for Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska

If that guy actually gets elected it will be the time to take US politics to a walk in the forest with a shotgun and a shovel.

And a Frogurt franchise.

This could be a godsend for Palin. An elected politician who compares unfavorably to her – who’d a thunk?

What had Palin done when she first ran for Mayor of Wasilla?

For that matter, what has she ever really earned even now? She’s been able to capitalize on a cult of personality base on her combination of looks and hatefulness, but what has she ever actually accomplished in her life?

She can be proud that she hasn’t impregnated two teenage girls.

That we know of. :dubious:

You forgot “Miss Congeniality.”

Steve Holt!

winner!

Well, I’m not sure what game were playing because who the fuck is Steve Holt?

Why not? As long as there are people who take pleasure in seeing Sarah Palin and her family hurt - even if it is the pathetic dumb-ass father of her grandchild (a child with Down syndrome, no less, which means it’s even more entertaining) - there’s money to be made.

So, yeah… bring it on. It’s a TV approved circus so it’s okay.

Wrong kid. That’s Trigg (child), not Tripp (grand).

You and your pesky facts!

Fair enough. Got them mixed up and, admittedly, the point loses its rhetorical luster. Still, can’t help feel oversold on the talents of the hockey player from Wasilla.

I’ve never seen or heard of these people. Who are they?

They come at night. Those who go to bed early miss them. In the morning, questions as quoted above are proof they don’t exist.

Mostly.

“I don’t think being mayor is about qualifications. I think it’s about people liking you and believing in you,” he said.

Refreshing honesty from a political candidate?
