No I can’t, **jayjay** , because I don’t watch any cable TV. ---

Nope, not me. I own a TV. I just don’t have cable. I get all my TV watching from the CS forum. 🙂 ---

The latest news in the paper this morning is that McCain is going to use Palin on his Arizona re-election campaign. The merriment never stops. ---

Use her for _what_? A boost in the polls? To add some thickness to a casserole? ---

Despite the fact that I am a pantywaist Yankee, I would have voted for her in a NY minute if she had answered the magazine question more like this: > [@](#): > > Maybe you’re just sitting around, reading “Guns and Ammo”, masturbating in your own feces, do you just stop and go, “Wow!

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > Use her for _what_? A boost in the polls? To add some thickness to a casserole? Looks like she’s also going to stump for some flack in Eugene, Oregon. My guess is that the campaigns are offering substantial payments for her appearances. ---

Why are they still referring to her as ‘Governor’ Palin? She walked out on the job and the people who raised money for and voted for her, why the honorific? ---

Takes up less space in a headline than “overexposed moron”. ---

I wouldn’t mind her exposing more of herself provided it isn’t her mind that is exposed. ---

Doesn’t have to be a rumor. Same woman showed up on Network TV’s “30 Rock” for some reason I cannot fathom. 😉 ETA: But she was wearing more. ---
