Notice that she has to phrase it that same vague, self-aggrandizing way every time, because that gets around the need to talk about it in any substantive terms. “Thanks But No Thanks” must have got an 11 on the spin meter.

I think that this misadventure is reaching critical mass courtesy of the Alaska legislature. Judging from the available facts, <strong>Governor Bullwinkle</strong> has probably committed malfeasance. At some point, the efforts to derail or delay this investigation are going to get traction. The real contest is for independent voters. I doubt that this pool of citizens wants another Cheney. If Palin reverses course and cooperates (as she previously promised to do), she and her moronic co-governor - the First Rube - are going to get nailed. Get your friends registered to vote, buy some popcorn and watch to drama unfold in the Alaska newspapers. Cheer up!

I have written MSNBC asking them when they will be airing their puff piece on Joe Biden. I expect to hear crickets. If it weren't for Keith and Rachel I would boycott MSNBC. It seems to me they have taken a hard right. BTW, I wonder what their ratings were like last weekend when David Gregory was the talking head for the forum where Obama and McBush spoke. I'm betting it was pretty dismal. I watched it on CSPAN. Last night I saw a “puff piece” that MSNBC was running on Sarah Barracuda.
