It is like Bill Clinton. Now that he is out of the (s)lime light, nobody
cares who he pulls his dick out in front of. If Hillary had the
nomination we would be hearing about everything from the last girl he
flashed to his whether Hillary and Chelsea traveled on his Arkansas
governor expense account. Nobody cares about the loser.

Kind of depends on what Palin does. If she's thinking 2012, she remains
in the limelight. If she just heads back to Alaska ... Who knows?

Yup, questions, but I haven't heard of any investigations. *If I were a

The media is interested in Palin because she came out of nowhere and was
put on the McCain ticket without being vetted. It turns out that almost
none of the great claims made about Palin were true, and that she has a
number of, uh, ethical lapses. Those, and her utter lack of knowledge in
areas where she should have some has built interest in her
unpreparedness and incompetency in the area of civics.

This is all McCain's fault and is illustrative of his bad judgment. He
rolled the dice with Palin and came up craps. He is not to be trusted at
the wheel of the ship of state.

I would suggest that some part of the RNC management put Palin in play
and that McCain is, at most, subject to bad advice. "Okay, give me a
name of someone the evangelicals will vote for"

It was McCain's call. Therefore it is McCain's fault. In the GOP, for
the moment, he calls the shots. Period.

Why did one of his handlers say from the first "McCain doesn't speak
for the campaign"?

I agree Palin was not ready for national politics but I don't think
there is much real meat in the things they have tried to pin on her.
I imagine a lot of governors have a tingle in their backside when they
see the level of scrutiny she has been exposed to tho.
I am a little jaded. I originally came from Maryland where Spiro Agnew
was the "reform" candidate. In the grand scheme of things the graft he
was convicted of was minor compared to his Baltimore peers. Md
politics may have been the most crooked in the country, perhaps even
eclipsing Chicago. Even after Agnew, my state senator (Mike Miller)
pretty much had a price list for what it cost to get minor felonies
dismissed. Everyone I knew had his number memorized (301 868 8888 as I
recall). He specialized in DUI, guns, dope and serious traffic like
"evading and eluding".

Just wait until they find out that Obama never attended Columbia.

Mounting evidence that he never went there. Nobody knows him,
remembers him from his law school or, and this is the best part, he
won't release his Columbia records. Probably because there ain't any.

Heh, heh, heh...

He rides the train home through Maryland.

You might be thinking of one of the other really challenged Veeps from
Maryland, Spiro T. Agnew.

Man management is a major part of any command officer's job. Picking
the right advisers is very important.
