Like a comet having reached its closest distance to the sun only to move steadily into the deep, dark recesses of space, Sarah Palin is fading from her maximum brilliance, having peaked at Uber-Joe-The-Plumber status over the past days / weeks.
The date of her actual maximum was clouded by babbling, interference in the New York’s 23rd district House race, Facebook posts, and buildup to a book release that — while anticipated — seems to have fallen with as much visual appeal as NASA’s recent mission to collide a satellite with the moon. (Fitting to Sarah Palin’s ’scientificless approach’, only scientists saw the [ more . . . ]
It’s stunning. I know Rudy Giuliani quickly became a political opportunist over the course of the last Presidential election, but is it really possible he has absolutely no clue?
And is it really possible he thinks New York voters have such short attention spans?
9-11 is no laughing matter, and while Rudy Giuliani admittedly doesn’t laugh when he says one or the other, his polar-opposite positions on prosecuting terrorists in U.S. criminal courts is, well, laughable.
In 2006, Rudy Giuliani applauded the prosecution of Zacarias Moussaoui in Alexandria, VA. He even testified. Here’s an excerpt of the contemporaneous FOX News article on the [ more . . . ]
Elections can be funny things some times — Take Senator Al Franken winning in Minnesota!
What’s interesting — and what I picked up on Twitter thanks to @KatyinIndy — is that the vote in New York’s 23rd district is still being counted. More importantly, the gap in votes between the ‘winner’, Bill Owens, and the principle ‘looser’, Doug Hoffman, is tightening, though it’s still a fairly wide margin. And that raises an interesting question, exactly how / why was Bill Owens sworn into office on Friday, November 6?
Well, it’s an interesting question — and I do think this is worth looking [ more . . . ]
Yes, I know — It’s been said before. But I don’t think it’s ever been truer than it is right now, and now is the perfect timing to do it.
First of all, look at the Republican Party’s infrastructure and what they currently have in place, starting with the Republican National Committee.
There isn’t anything there, at least very little of any actual value. The RNC is a piece of junk and, led by Party Chairman Michael Steele, as apt to say something palatable as it is to say something that gives most Americans the heebie-jeebies. Heck, in a [ more . . . ]
I love Sarah Palin — She’s the verbal gaffe equivalent of President Ford occasionally falling down a set of stairs while disembarking from Air Force One. Just the other day she offered this in response to Doug Hoffman having lost the House election on November 3rd . . .
“The race for New York’s 23rd District is not over, just postponed until 2010.” . . . “I commend Doug Hoffman and all the other under-dog candidates who have the courage to put themselves out there and run against the odds.”
