what is your favorite Palin tid-bit?
my favorite so far is this one-

writing letters in her praise under others' names.

"Bailey writes that Palin drafted her own letters to the editor during her run for governor and sent them in under supporters' names. Palin relayed the first one in an email to Bailey:

"Dear Editor,

It's been a pleasure watching our life-long Alaskan gal, Sarah Palin, campaign for governor these past six months. I am impressed with her leadership skills, experience, ethics, and energy. And I'm most impressed with how she communicates her message that is connecting with so many Alaskans. Sarah tells it like it is and is obviously not your typical politician. She doesn't just go with the flow or test the waters with political polls before taking action. It's clear Sarah is committed to just doing the right thing, even if her Republican Party bosses try to punish her for it," the letter reads in part.

Bailey alleges the letter was the first of many they wrote in supporters' names, to be sent to Alaska newspapers. Bailey writes "nothing struck me as wrong" with the faux letters, even though the campaign had become what he calls a "letter-manufacturing plant."

And in one particularly un-self-aware moment, Palin begins an email string with Bailey saying, "I feel like we are the last of the innocents," before encouraging the fake editorial letters:

"Good idea about the letters to the editor. Guys—let's remember to tell people that when they offer to help but don't know what to do. They can loan us their names for a letter, and they have to be ready to confirm that they authored the letter when all those various newspapers call them for confirmation."

1. Sarah's Psy-Ops vs. the Pentagon's
Both will be in for a rough time.

3. Whichever one will be her last one.
When she deservedly ends up in the dustbin of history.

4. February is "No-Palin Month"
There really is no compelling reason to be discussing her.
It only serves to register hits on her name on the google, thereby assuring that her paymasters give her another penny.
It's been pretty quiet around here with regards to Lady Blah Blah this month, why not wait a few more days to start talking about this twit again?

Or better yet... let's just never speak her name again, and maybe she will go the fuck away...

9. I'm quite tired of seeing her tidbits
From now on she should show them off in private clubs.

10. I'm from the midwest where we use "guys" as a general
use for "all of you" but I swear when I hear Palin use it, it makes me cringe. Still, I can't wait for that book to come out,even if it means wading through Palin's word salad to get to the good stuff.
