I think that Palin's weak spot (like Geraldine's) will be her husband. He was shown on the local news denying that there was any "pressure" on Monhegan and his people, but admitting to "informing" them of the existence of a problem (the trooper's continued employment).

In the process he looked like someone who has a furtive and calculating dark side that I'll bet Sweet Sarah doesn't know anything about (at least that's what she'll say).

Let's ask her about Schiavo.

Are you trying for 4X?

Yeah, it makes you look twice as stupid and petty.

Culpability? Rape? Susan Brownmiller, you helpless bundle of cliched responses, how you haven't changed.

You are too twisted with rage to reach. So I'll just say, "Up yours," even tho my real sentiments are less polite-- and this is a freebie because I've already been punished for it.

"They're [I'm?] pissed off because of crap like that Photoshopped 1930's lynching scene showing a smiling Bill and Hilary superimposed within the white lynch mob."

You can dig up every cheap internet slime ball ever pitched against HRC, and blame them all on the millions of Obama supporters who see past the egocentrism and character disorders demonstrated by the Troubled Couple, but the fact remains that poisoned by her arrogance and sense of entitlement, her campaign died a nasty and destructive death which even the best efforts of HRC and WJC (who, as always, remain subject to the ruling influence of the holes in their respective buckets), has not, repeat, not stopped damaging the party.

As you so stridently demonstrate (if you are a Democrat, that is).

A FOXfog enveloped him, he thought he was among friends.

John Kerry made his Vietnam service his main issue for many weeks. Rove teed off on this idiotic strategy because you can usually find some unhappy peripheral players (not to say sick mofos) to take someone down a peg who has done something notable (Silver Star, etc.), and to accuse them of lying about it.

Now McCain is inflating his POW story into an all-purpose rebuttal, and nobody will dare attack this strategy with heavy boots because, after all, he suffered enough. Unless he is found to have lied or confabulated significantly about his POW experiences, any dissing of the POW strategy will have to be muted and indirect, something along the lines of:

"Yes, we know what he went through and we honor his resoluteness, and we also recognize that being a POW may taught Lieutenant McCain some lessons on character, but the issue is flexibility, judgment and leadership today-- so his POW experience, harsh as it was, is more than three decades old, and it is not enough. As an older and presumably wiser Senator McCain should know, a ship does not sail on yesterday's wind.

How about Qatar or Dubai? Didn't those good folks already save his young ass several times during his time as a cheap oil-patch hustler?

Well, maybe they'll hire the same folks to evaluate McCain. He's only half the liar she is.
