The Sarah Palin = 3-d chess grandmaster contingent is growing. The latest supporter of the thesis is the NYT’s Frank Rich. He has a slightly unusual take, though. His argument seems to be that Palin may not be smart at all, but she’s super-cunning. And her palm-prompter debacle may have been [...]
I have always regarded David Broder as a complete joke. (I will never understand how or why he acquired the title of “Dean” of the Washington press corps.)
I am glad to report that Broder has now honed his comedy act by incorporating an impeccable sense of timing.
Yesterday, he put out, in the Washington Post [...]
Remember how Obama supporters, pressed to defend actions and decisions by him that did not appear to be easily defensible, loved to argue that he was engaged in a game of 3-dimensional chess that his critics were just not equipped to understand? There’s a lot less of that going around lately, but it seems [...]
Ladies and Gentlemen, Sarah Palin’s finest moment at the National Tea Party Convention (acronym CROCK*) in Nashville:
The weirdest part of the evening came not during the speech but during the following Q&A session. Asked what she thought that a Republican-controlled congress’s top three priorities should be, she answered: stop spending, energy policy and … well, [...]
Sarah P. teaches this to her children (and you teach it to your children and grandchildren, too, don’t you, dear reader?): “Name calling by anyone is just unnecessary.” And retard is a very bad name for one of Sarah P.’s key political props God’s own children, so Sarah Pee can take deep umbrage if [...]
It’s a good thing that God plays such an active role in Republican politics.
Here he is, putting Sarah Palin forward as their vice-presidential candidate in 2008:
Sarah Palin believed that Sen. John McCain chose her to be his running mate in 2008 because of “God’s plan,” according to a top political strategist in the Arizona Republican’s [...]
STOP PRESS: Out of work beauty queen now reduced to posing for pictures at $16 a pop.
If you happen to bump into Sarah Palin, do be sure to ask her: “How’s tricks, governor?”
The scheme involves prices ranging from $15.99 for 5×7s to $34.99 for 11×14s. At those prices, there will be hefty [...]
When is a private jet a bus? When it’s Sarah Palin providing the free-verse translation:
As much of her entourage, including HarperCollins publicist Tina Andreadis, risked a collective case of White Line Fever, covering more than 3,000 road miles during the book tour’s first week, Sarah Palin herself seems to have remained above it all, [...]
In the tribe of conservative-performing-monkeys, they are both super-gorillas. And now it looks like they may be squaring off against each other.
Palin offered Beck nothing but love and respect:
In recent days, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has indicated that she may be open to a conservative presidential dream ticket in 2012: Palin-Beck (or Beck-Palin). [...]
Don’t look now, but it looks like the controversy over Sarah Palin’s last pregnancy (as in “Was she really pregnant?”, “Is Trig really her baby?”) is about to boil over (h/t Shaun Mullen at Kiko’s House).
It’s not going to help that Palin had steadfastly refuse to release her medical records during the last presidential election, [...]
