From ABC's Political Punch regarding findings from the investigation into Sarah Palin's actions (or nonactions) involving Troopergate:

The report states: "I find that Governor Sarah Palin Abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act ... Compliance with the code of ethics is not optional...

Yet, she holds her own private one-question-per-reporter phone conference with her buddies in the Alaskan press corps so she has the opportunity to repeatedly say how happy she is that she was cleared of "any hint of any kind of unethical activity"?

Nice p.r. tactic, but I don't think it's gonna work out for YA, Sis.

Oh Ohio, say it ain't so.

That's just embarrassing. I was born in West-by-God-Virginia and grew up less than 30 minutes from the Ohio/West Virginia border, so I feel comfortable saying: WTF PEOPLE!

And for the record, today is the first time I had ever heard of STRONGVILLE, OHIO. Y'all need to consult a newspaper or perhaps *gasp* pick up a book if you seriously haven't heard of Barack Obama before this year.

And if you HAD heard of Sarah Palin before Barack Obama, perhaps YOU'RE the friggin terrorist!

My fellow prego friend Sarah sent me this NY Times column about taxes and patriotism and yes, Sarah Palin. Definitely worth a read.

...by what you fear was your flippant or condescending tone toward them in your interviews. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it was damn near impossible for you to achieve such a tone in those situations. So rest easy. And your "patience" with the "elite media" is probably very much appreciated.

What I would ask of you, however, is that you stop droppin' yer g's, G. Now THAT is irritating. And possibly condescending to "The American People" to whom you so frequently refer. Good thing you mitigated that with much familiarizing winking!

It makes us all feel so close to you. Like you know us. Like you can see us naked through the TV.

Although I didn't always agree with his scoring system, I found Savannah Red's blow-by-blow of last night's Vice Presidential Debate to be fairly accurate and entertaining.

Oh, and SavRed - touche on the 24e couch comment. DAMMIT.

Tweeting the debate here. Christian and I are watching with a 15-21 minute lag, but I figure that puts us right in line with P-tits' brain's lag time.

P-tits - STOP SAYING "DARN RIGHT." It doesn't make you more folksy.

If this actually happens before the election it will support all claims that P-Tits is evil incarnate.

Bristol: "But Mooooom....I don't want to marry my accidental sperm donor. He's SUCH a Barney. I want a career in politics like YOU."

P-Tits: "Them's the breaks, kid. Didn't I tell you to use the pull-out method? Never fails. Except with your last three siblings. Now quit yer whining, I've got cramming to do before Thursday's debate. Of course anything's better than sitting down with that Katie Couric. Bitch was distracting me with all that blinking."

You are DEFINITELY qualified to be second-in-command of the free world, P-Tits. I don't know what I was thinking.

I realize everyone has already seen this but no matter how you feel about Lipstick Mom, it should tickle your funny bones.

My Boy BFF sent me this link which explains some of my Palin Hate over the last couple weeks. I am not 100 percent proud of my, um, addiction to disliking her. But it's not all about partisan politics. Her shit is dangerous. Did anyone catch the spectacle last night of the cameras trained on the crowd of people milling around the set of steps at the airport in Alaska waiting for her private plane to arrive? Good thing she got rid of that "over the top" corporate jet! If people want to idolize her, why doesn't she just announce a tour like Hannah Montana and leave the adults alone?
