Argh, if Sarah would just retire to Wasilly, take care of that brood she created and shut the #### up we would all be better off. Particularly the GOP.

May I be the first to say "who cares?" Palin was an stooge before the "leak" and McCain lost the election because of it. The media seems to have a hard time digesting the fact that Obama won the election by 7 million votes. The people have spoken, you might want to listen up.

Anybody see the documentary called "Yes Men?"

Similar story. Doing things like this is called culture jamming.

So many media outlets have ceased to practice real journalism in place of trying to be a "profit center" that it''s easier to take advantage of them and plant bogus stories or act as a source for information.

Maybe the media should go back to real journalism.

Note to Palin:

Check your stopwatch. It reads "14 minutes, 50 seconds."

Your 15 minutes of fame are almost up.

Lee Atwater and Karl Rove had lots of students - and not all of those students were republicans.
Funny thing, it was Palin herself that made this concocted story believable.

Well, NO, it was actually the lying media and their ''''anonymous'''' source that don''''t hold any credibility whatsoever!

***************************
If any media - any media ANYWHERE - had reported this exact same thing saying it was McCain instead of Palin who didn''t know Africa was a continent, would''ve anybody believed it??
And it was Fox news that originally broke the story. Further proof that Fox news ain''t about news - it''s about something quite different.

I would still ask her. Her initial response was to the effect that she knew they were not the same.

So does she still believe there is a country called Africa existing in the world somewhere?

Can she spell potato?

Can, she, like, talk?

Can she find Alaska on the map?

Can she say "you" (instead of "ya''")?

Can she please disappear (no question mark, it''s a rhetorical question).
