Not only do they steal elections, they steal credit.

2. That's exactly what's got me pissed off! Couldn't put my finger on it
until your post. That is exactly it. Plus the fact that I think she's a fake.

3. Hey! I like Megan Mullaly! Don't associate her with Palin! That's just so fucking rude!
I loved how she and Jack basically stole the show from Will & Grace. That takes lots of funny guts to be able to pull off. It wasn't easy. Please don't compare that to Palin.

6. It's not done yet. I want to add a wisecrack that Karen would make to Palin's question
"What is it exactly that the vice president does every day?"

8. Hey, at least Karen knew she wasn't qualified. She was just doing it for fun.

I just loved how she kept all of Grace's paychecks in a little souvenir box. LOL, all of my favorite parts of the WIll & Grace show were Jack and Karen moments. Their zingers were awesome.

Palin... I don't think she realizes the magnitude of the VP pick. Maybe it used to not be important but at least in the past, the VP needs to be as presidential as the President. That's why there started to be a tradition of making the VP the anointed successor of the party because of the presidential bar. And now, I don't know wtf Palin is thinking. Maybe she just thought of the power and fame and not of the consequences.

One thing that I like about Obama is that I'm sure that he went through a great deal of thinking before he even pursued it-- when he reaches for a goal, he keeps trying until the end. I don't think he took lightly the decision to run but I don't get that feeling from Palin.

That's one thing I think that Palin and McCain have in common-- they have poor impulse control. That's not being a maverick, that's having a gambling problem.

4. That is the way with Republicans, always there to take the credit
Republicans proclaim their inherent goodness on the backs of other people's work, and then give tax breaks to the wealthy.

5. Don't worry, Palin is Cinderella, too. She has glass slippers that she can't wear after midnight.
Her pumpkin ride is going to be very short.

7. Palin is going to shatter the glass ceiling with her voice.
Some called Hillary shrill, but she was a songbird compared to this lady.

9. Does she forget that she is not the first woman VP candidate
Does she even know about Geraldine Ferraro? I doubt it.
