Examining Sarah Palin's Ego

I'm number one

David Letterman joined Tina Fey as a member of Sarah Palin's supporting cast last week.
Letterman got cheap laughs and attention; Palin got a fresh supply of umbrage—and attention.
Palin is both comfortable and adept at these tabloid squabbles-certainly more than she seems ever likely to be in a substantive environment. Parrying political opponents about policy, or responding to serious queries about the state of the world is just not what Palin does. Even her attacks on President Obama have a canned quality, something along the lines of . . . "socialism, yadda yadda yadda." She leaves the details to Romney or Huckabee or perhaps next week's guest star.
By contrast, Palin seems genuinely animated by her contests with late-night comedians and she is always well-versed in the subject matter, which is, in order:

1. Sarah Palin;
2. What the cultural elite thinks of Sarah Palin;
3. What her supporters properly understand about what the cultural elite thinks of Sarah Palin;
4. Why Sarah Palin, and people who identify with Sarah Palin, are correct to resent the cultural elite for what it thinks of Sarah Palin.

Lame Duck Foolery

President George W. Bush bade farewell to his antagonists in the press at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner with a comic routine that was much funnier than his tenure in office.
Noticing "Baywatch" actress Pamela Anderson and former presidential candidate and Morman cult member Mitt Romney in the audience, the president noted: "Pamela Anderson and Mitt Romney in the same room. Isn't that one of the signs of the apocalypse?"
Anderson joked afterwards that she had "...thought this was the 'White Trash Correspondents' Dinner.' "

Romney Pulls Out

Forbes calls it what it really is: Mitt Romney announced Thursday that he is ending his presidential campaign. Romney has lent his campaign at least $35 million of his own money, and may have decided that the price tag was just too high to end up in second place.

Republican Presidential Candidates on Equality

“Unless Moses comes down with two stone tablets from Brokeback Mountain to tell us something different, we need to keep that understanding of marriage.”
– Mike Huckabee

“It’s the acts, it’s the various acts that people perform that are sinful”
– Rudolph Giuliani on homosexuality

“I don't want civil unions or gay marriage.”
– Mitt Romney


...we find it ironic that Republicans seem to account for most of the Washington homosexual scandals of the past few years...yet consistently vehemently oppose gay rights...
