No, the newest Rethug campaign strategy is the “surprise” wedding of Bristol to “HockeyJockey” in October–as soon as she turns 18, to sort of take the attention off of Palin’s lack of substantial knowledge about much of anything. Jebus Christ passing out benzodiazepine pizzas at the last supper; I thought “shotgun weddings” were passe!

St. George? Damn, had to work there a few years back and had a hell of a time finding a bar. Seemed like there was only one at the time, and it was being kept quiet by the locals whenever we asked if there was one (not in phone book). Finally one kind soul told us where it was. Felt really weird there…Great scenery though!

Just you watch, Sarah Flailin’s gonna bring the heat at the debate. She’ll be dressed for success:

Actually, I think she’ll be off the ticket by then, or have some excuse to never debate Biden. Perhaps they feel they got the Repube base energized by the pick, and now they can bring in Mittmo Romnutz to theoretically “save the economy” while the base is engaged, which is something The Tax Whisperer couldn’t have done had he been the initial VP pick. Mooselini will be cool with it because her career just went on a all night coke binge, and she probably feels well positioned for future campaigns because of the attention. Pathetic lot these “people” are.

It may be time for a Five Brothers Blogging … Where Are They Now?

Obviously, if they thought that elected Dad Mitt was the most important way they could serve/save this country, they must be absolutely crushed.

But then they’re Mormons, so they might be drowning their sorrows in long, tall glasses of apple juice.

Poor Mitt, always the wallflower at the prom it seems, and there he is, doing his best presidential pose too!

PS. Moran is probably a great fan of former Senator Roman Hruska, who, in defending Richard Nixon’s appalling choice of G. Harold Carswell for the Supreme Court, said (in one of the great quotes of American history):

“Even if he were mediocre, there are a lot of mediocre judges and people and lawyers. They are entitled to a little representation, aren’t they, and a little chance? We can’t have all Brandeises, Frankfurters and Cardozos.”

The Founders left the qualifications list extremely vague for a very good reason; they hoped and expected ordinary Americans to have a chance at the top job.

Yeah, that really sounds plausible. It’s obvious they hoped and expected that ordinary women would get the top job. In fact, I imagine they gave slaves three-fifths humanity so that some day five of them could join forces and become three presidents. The Founders…not an elitist among them.

Even Katie Couric looks amazed at how nonsensical Palin’s answer is.

So, that’s the best endorsement of Palin they can come up with?

“no qualifications except that the candidate be a native born American citizen and at least 35 years old”

Ringing.

…every time Mitt Romney sees a clip of Sarah Palin answering a question, a little bit of something inside of Mitt dies.

Naah, Willard’s too busy taking notes so he can steal some of Bible Spice’s “down-home, folksy, Heartland” riffs during the next Mitt!Run… which, as some people have already pointed out, may start as early as next week, once She Who Must Not Be Questioned discovers that she needs to spend more time outside of the national spotlight, tendin’ her kidses (and avoiding legal depositions re Troopergate).

When Romney saw Guiliani get the prime defending-the-Rethug-brand slot on the after-debate teevee shows, on the other hand… that must’ve left a mark.
