The only thing that keeps her from being a true red neck is an over abundance of teeth.

Writer Timothy Egan, filling in for a vacationing Maureen Dowd, on why Joe the Plumber shouldn't get a book deal. (Nor, for that matter, should Sarah Palin.) www.nytimes.com/2008/12/07/opinion/07egan.html?_r=1&th&emc=thHe's got a point. I mean, Joe is so faux he'll probably hire a totally incompetent ghost writer--and Palin's murderous assaults on the English language deserve jail time, not a HIGH seven-figure advance. |

Thanks for the link, Katie. Pity this is too long for a bumper sticker: "“I had great faith that, you know, perhaps when that voter entered that voting booth and closed that curtain that what would kick in for them was, perhaps, a bold step that would have to be taken in casting a vote for us, but having to put a lot of faith in that commitment we tried to articulate that we were the true change agent that would progress this nation.” And a word from Rudy Slippers! Priceless! thinkprogress.org/2008/12/07/giuliani-thankful-obama/ |

Very BAD pandering, to be sure, but pandering, just the same. |

Wouldn't it be funny if the Palins were somehow involved in the drug business? Todd always looks so mellow. |

I wonder how The Pain feels now about letting her daughter marry the father of the baby. |

It's been some years since I left the pharmacy, but from what I remember of what I learned there, the prospective Palin inlaw is gonna be an OUTLAW from now on: news.yahoo.com/s/mcclatchy/20081220/pl_mcclatchy/3127930Oxycontin is a Schedule II narcotic. Charges related to its illegal possession and distribution are federal. If they stick, Grandma Johnston stands a chance of getting OLD in the pokey. |

Yes, and got illegally! BTW, it's scary to know that this soon to be Grandma is the same age as I am! Good thing my bambini are little still! |

This is my surprised look :-| www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12/25/AR2008122500930.html?hpid=sec-politics"Trooper Says Election Delayed Alaska Drug Case WASILLA, Alaska -- The mother of Bristol Palin's boyfriend sent text messages discussing drug transactions less than a month after the young woman's mother, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, was nominated as the Republican vice presidential candidate, according to court documents filed this week. An affidavit from an Alaska state trooper, filed Monday, states that Sherry L. Johnston referred in her messages to two police informants to "coffee" as a code for the drug OxyContin. Johnston, 42, was arrested on felony drug charges last week after state troopers served a search warrant at her Wasilla home. She allegedly sold OxyContin tablets to the informants on three occasions this fall, the affidavit states. Police said two of the meetings were recorded by a hidden camera and a microphone. Johnston is the mother of Levi Johnston, 18. Sarah Palin announced in September that her daughter Bristol, also 18, was pregnant and that Johnston was the father. Their child was due to be born Dec. 18, her grandfather Chuck Heath told the Anchorage Daily News recently. Authorities say the case against Sherry Johnston began in the second week of September, when drug investigators intercepted a package containing 179 OxyContin pills. That led to the arrest of the suspects, who agreed to be informants. According to the affidavit, Johnston sent a text message to one informant Oct. 1, writing: "Hey, my phones are tapped and reporters and god knows who else is always following me and the family so no privacy. I will let u no when I can go for cof." The trooper's affidavit indicates that Sarah Palin's candidacy factored into the investigation, with state officials delaying execution of a search warrant until this month, when Johnston was "no longer under the protection or surveillance of the Secret Service." |

What bothers me about this is the fact that the whole thing would have been buried forever if Pain had become Vice-President.
