but Mark Steyn says it sooooo much better today!

I would like to thank the US media for doing such a grand job this last week of lowering expectations by portraying Governor Palin – whoops, I mean Hick-Burg Mayor Palin – as a hillbilly know-nothing permapregnant ditz, half of whose 27 kids are the spawn of a stump-toothed uncle who hasn’t worked since he was an extra in Deliverance.

How’s that narrative holding up, geniuses? Almost as good as your “devoted husband John Edwards” routine?

But must her hair suffer?

case closed .. definitely not an insider

For sheer political theatre, I give her a standing O.

Aside to Alchemist: fear not! I see from the TV listings that tonight’s game begins at 7:00. Sen. McCain will appear at 10:00 p.m. Assuming the football game doesn’t go into OT, we’ll be able to see both events.

Yes, Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin has a lot on her plate: a pregnant teen daughter, a son on his way to Iraq, an infant with Down syndrome and a looming national election.

But must her hair suffer? With her long, straight, often pinned-up locks, Palin looks one humid day away from fronting a Kiss cover band.

“It’s about 20 years out of date” said Boston stylist Mario Russo of the Alaska governor’s ‘do. “Which goes to show how off she might be on current events.”

Are you “F’ing” Kidding Me!! Do these bb brains have nothing better to attack her with than a perceived correlation between her hair and current events?? Yet later this newspaper will want me to take it serious. Such idiots, these guys are so dense that they do not realize this is the very reason most Americans believe they are not relevant. – Lorica

Did anybody notice that McCain planned his speech during the first night of football season…. I can’t imagine he’ll get a good audience in Virginia.
