Imagine a candidates reach if HALF the people talking about them just stopped? The left love talking about her as much as the right do. The left love holding her up because she’s such a moron and it would be amazing to see her run in 2012. But don’t pretend you want her to go away. And don’t pretend that if the entire left wing stopped talking about her that it wouldn’t have an effect. ---

Imagine what would happen if the only press she got was good press. Imagine what would happen if none of her crap, and the crap of her handlers, was challenged. Imagine what would happen if only one political party got all the bad press. Imagine conservatives laughing their damn fool heads off at anyone who believes that bad publicity isn’t an efective tool. ---

_Bonsai_ poodles. They’re the _really_ small ones. _Banzai_ poodles make suicide attacks on the mailman. French poodles just surrender and go back to licking each other. ---

That would be James Inhofe (R-the Take). Those days are over. She blew out of Alaska like a sprinter when she figured conservatives wanted to give her money. She has allowed them to do so .Her love of Alaska got jettisoned in a hurry. She didn’t let the door of the governors office hit her in the ass. How anyone can forgive her quitting the governorship baffles me. She is a female Gordon Gekko. Greed is good when it lines her pockets. ---

Only did that once, waited for a couple years for someone to say something about a black guy with a wierd-looking knife, so I could say: “You mean an Eldritch Cleaver?” It was worth it. ---

If the internet and sites like Facebook and Myspace had existed back when Sarah Palin was in college, I guarantee there’d be nudie pictures of her all across the internet. ---

Yeah, but, they’d take themselves down before you could finish! CMC fnord! (Contrarywise, if you really believe they’re Tina Fey nudie pics, it’s a happier ending.) ---
