It’s no secret that the biggest problem facing the GOP in 2008 is that their party is run by, and supported by, crazy people. To illustrate. Here are some things the GOP faithful believe:
1. Partisan Democrat liberals run the teevee in manner of Evil Cabal or similar.
2. Saddam Hussein totally did too! have nukes and chemical weapons and WMDs.
3. Global Warming is a Fraud launched by False Prophet Scientists with sinister motives.
4. Homosexuals do not deserve equal marriage rights under the law for reasons of ickiness or something equally vague.
5. Barack Obama, like Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry, Al Gore, and Bill Clinton, is a Marxist Communist. (Adding, Obama is an effete elitist latte & malt-liquor-swilling hardcore weenie gangsta rapper who wants to bang your sister, make everyone gay like him, & impose Islamofascism, because he’s too smooth, too angry, too Ivy League and too South Side all at the same time.)
6. Torture is swell!
7. Despite its expensive pointlessness, we should drill drill drill! for oil that’s not there that we need to wean ourselves off of anyhow.
I could go on. The surface is not at all scratched, itchy as it may be. But this brief summation should suffice to make the point that to be a true-believing GOP voter nowadays, you are required to swallow a lot of untrue, asinine crap.
And we all know this. But now, let us marvel at the sheer unbridled joy with which Greater Wingnuttia has greeted the nomination of Sarah Palin (see for example here, here, et passim), whose qualifications for the presidency, by the measure of the completely demented standards of Modern Conservatism, are restricted exclusively to the following:
1. She is female.
2. She believes a lot of crazy shit.
3. She likes to shoot moose.
And you know what? I’m not joking, even a little bit.

Let’s be clear, I don’t give a shit if he’s showing all the thought process of when he crashed those five planes, but I do give a shit about his political photo-op interfering with the emergency and law enforcement folks who need a political grandstander in their midst like…. well, words fail me.
Whenever a I see a picture of Palin I want to say:

below I was mentioning Jane’s twitter messages- and it’s interesting to see who is following them- CNN, NPR, ahem… Jane is a source!
http://twitter.com/janehamsher
My husband was in the Albania supermarket in Rancho Cordova today. The owners are born agains from Albania and have Jeebus on the teevee all the time. The lady said even though she always votes repug she thinks that McCain is an evil man. But it doesn’t matter cause Jeebus is coming to rapture her and her buddies soon. Ron didn’t say a word. He came home and told me. Jeebus F’ing X on a Stick. She should run for orifice.
Bush?
Digg IT?
Suz, what have you been feeding those enn ess aaa guys, anyway?
Try this
let me add last Jane message:
Women a bit suspicious of Palin — is it the Cohen Brothers beauty queen routine? #RNC08 http://tinyurl.com/668at3
evening thers.
howdy firepups.
And let us not forget:
- Cutting taxes never causes deficits, and the massive borrowing and spending by the Bush Administration is somehow the fault of Democrats
- In fact, everything bad that’s happened in the past year and a half is all the fault of the Democrats, because the president doesn’t really have much power at all, which makes it vitally important to elect another Republican as president (my boss got this email from his wingnut relatives.)
Sorry it was suppose to be a reply to Prairie Sunshine at 1
i’ve not been – they’ve been cut off
maybe that is why my wifi suddenly went down last nite…
You so rock, Thers. You summed it all up just right and swell.
Oh — and there’s also this. I mean, baby wolves? That is somehow less icky that, um, Teh Gayh?
Good evening everyone…… things are a little better here in AZ since Ariz. ballot campaign on affirmative action ends
They found over 150,000 fraudulent signatures….. Wahoo…
Palin’s pic with McBush makes me think she and Lurita Doan were separated at birth.
OK, someone is really messing with me. I have had two comments disappear. That never happens to me.
Nahant, I Dugg your Digg.
Palin’s position on global warming: Even though she asserts that her State (Alaska) will suffer the most from global warming, she does not wish to consider any scientific evidence that indicates that it is man made. Because she does not believe that.
Palin is a certified wingnut. Similar anti-logic is employed by all wingnuts.
nothing in the filters – is there a white van parked outside your place with feed me blaring on the stereo?
TURD! I thinks that describes quite well
It would never by the way have occurred to me to hunt out of a plane. That happens…?
I’m in pretty rural upstate NY, and there’s a lot of hunting, but never from airplanes…
Still the best MSM columnist in the US, IMO. Thanks for the link.
I’m almost afraid to look. I’m just glad I don’t live in the Twin Cities right now…
Two comments lost, and Digg went crazy on me
She is prolly suspicious of people who read…like….books.
My ex used to say that the easiest way to hunt was with an old buick.
Hey Neuro how was your trip to Denver? I hope no one was picked up by the thought police just cause they were thinking contrary thoughts like they have been doing on Minnesota /S
Best they got!
Palin’s pic with McBush makes me think she and Lurita Doan were separated at birth.

They want better donuts than the heat in MN are gettin’.
I’ve been perusing the Winger websites today. Many posters there “enraptured” over the idea of a “true Christian” being picked by McCain.
Many Neanderthals vowing to emerge from their caves on Nov. 4 just to vote for her. It’s scary.
My ex used to say that the easiest way to hunt was with an old buick.
He never passed this along to Dick Cheney by any chance?
Well yeah….Secular authors? Bad for the inner Republican Jesus.
I can personally attest that it’s a bad idea to hunt armadillos with a Saturn.
I don’t have a link, but my wife told me she saw an article online that said Palin went running…in the Alaska winter…you know, with ice and snow and stuff?…while supposedly late in her pregnancy…
What does the Palin pick say about John McCain’s judgment, even if Sarah is not a pathological liar?
What does that story say about her judgment? Imagine her getting the famous 3 a.m. phone call…
“Tapas in MN with Glenn Greenwald, Arianna, Mario Ruiz.”
Hello Jane!
http://twitter.com/janehamsher
If I drive you to the top of Loveland Pass, and kick you out of the the truck bollock-naked, and you bring me a moose or an elk back to Denver; that’s hunting. Anything else is murder.
Dick Cheney’s Secret Service name is “Old Buick.”
At a dollar a pop that’s a lot of cemeteries to cover.
wasn’t aware that one hunts armadillos.
Barack on SNL.
And they believe in “black helicopters” and “jack-booted thugs”
~ but think that hunting wolves and polar bears by helicopter is a mark of hunting prowess and
~ that using Blackwater in national emergencies is a smart thing.
Pretty amusing eh? Never know what you’ll discover by poking around the web!
Jesus was a republican????????
Many Neanderthals vowing to emerge from their caves on Nov. 4 just to vote for her. It’s scary.
She’s soon gonna be so wrapped up in controversy that McCrazy will look good by comparison….
You have weird parties out there….
i have the link and the video but ct will make fun of me and eureka springs will start asking me how often i blog whore if i actually link to it. but you can probably find it pretty easily ;)
Trip was good and bad, saw family and had a good time in Denver but couldn’t get into the Convention even though I had a ticket.
Don’t know about the thought police, but I am sad to report I did not see a single demonstrator…don’t know where Recreate 68 was hiding, maybe they were all locked up in the Free Speech Cage, which I did not see.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To show the possums it could be done.
It says that John McCain has shitty taste in women. He likes ‘em dumb and dumber.
Perhaps more accurately, it was hunting me…
baby possums are born dead on the side of the road.
the armadillo was driving a saturn?!?
Really? My Comcast DVR thingy says repeat, with Brian Williams.
No he lived in a commune with 12 guys
It’s hot being naked at 11,000′
that’s what’s on here :(
Should we be asking who will McCain’s second choice be?
I think they consider it the equivalent of a buffalo-hunter working from horseback. “John, you wouldn’t believe how difficult it is to shoot racoons, but the pilot of the copter closed to twenty meters before I opened up with the semi-automatic rifle. Bagged the whole group!”
TR would be turning over in his grave that this is “hunting”.

They are still paying a dollar I was getting that over ten years ago for signatures in Oregon.
Oh my, you go, TB!
Theres a link somewhere on FDL that leads to ire.com or similar. That takes you to a video link wherein a guy meets with Palin in February (allegedly 7 mos. preg) and they go for a brisk walk from her gubmint house to her gubmint office in Juneau.
He brings her a cup of gourmet (apparently not decaf) coffee. They chit chat as they walk briskly. He asks her about running and hiking, palin says that she loves to run and names a jogging trail that she prefers. Not once is it mentioned that she is expecting. Neither does she appear to be pregnant.
roadkill
And too bad Tina’s not still around to shred Palin.
Should we be asking who will McCain’s second choice be?
Victoria Jackson?

never too soon for music here on the dark side of the lake, mary mcc
What kind of seasoning do you have?
Now you come out to play, Suz! Aloha, Thers!
Ok. I don’t care if it is too soon for music. New Orleans is evacuating. Here is Andrei Codresu and the New Orleans Klezmer All-Stars. Scroll down to listen to “Molly’s Window”.
So the family portrait of the Palin family, with Sarah showing no sign of pregnancy a couple of months before the birth, but teenage daughter obviously pregnant, that someone posted here last night, was mysteriously removed from the Internet today (i.e. the link that was in FDL comments last night no longer works). But you could still find it via Google Images, the last time I checked…
not “favorite” but most familiar.. I guess it depends where you live. ;)
She’s nuts enough but doesn’t have the requisite two years of experience to be CIC.
There just weren’t that many of them. We went to the demo on Sunday, met Cindy Sheehan, who is very pleasant, sort of like yer mum, and there were about 1000 people there. My bro-in-law biked over to Guernavaca Park, where they were camped out, he said they were pretty thin on the ground.
I think they may have seen sense and gone to Minneapolis, which is where the enemy actually is.

Good One. IIRC, she is a Republican. Perfect.

So why am I sitting here watching some scary movie on HBO where there is real life out there that is so much more scary?
I’m not convinced the daughter was pregnant. Eating a moose can cause some serious bloating, especially when you get to the antlers.
I’d be all for it if you had to shoot and fly the helicopter at the same time.
The only seasoning you’ll evah need!

Republican National Convention 2008
ST. PAUL, Minn. — President Bush is unlikely to make it to the Republican National Convention, and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) may deliver his acceptance speech via satellite because of the historically huge hurricane threatening New Orleans, top officials said.
http://www.politico.com/news/s…..13013.html
707!
Didn’t she also win “Miss Congeniality”?
She’s nuts enough but doesn’t have the requisite two years of experience to be CIC.
I have it on good authority that she dated a guy once who was in the reserves…
c’mon, that’s enough, right?
It is NEVER too early (or late) for music.

By the way, had a text message from madmommy. She and the madkiddies, mad MIL, and madpets are all at madgrannies, 6 hours north of New Orleans. But madhubby’s job requires him to stay in the city. Will post more as I hear more.

Good Evening Thers and Firedogs
Hah! You forgot about titties! She has titties, which clearly makes her an added attraction for outer wingnuttia.
Running away from the Bush clan into a hurricane
Obama makes his acceptance speech before a live crowd of 80,000 people, and McCain makes his in a TV studio in front of a few cameramen and other technical people…
hahahahahahahahahaha
at least Bush has found an excuse for not appearing at the Convention, where he was clearly not wanted
my sympathies to those affected by the hurricane, though. nothing funny about that.
Godspeed to all!!
Eating a moose can cause some serious bloating, especially when you get to the antlers.
LOL!
But a *real* Alaskan woman would know that the antlers aren’t meant to be eaten – they’re just big toothpicks.
and a f**king c**t.
Hey cinnamonape! Randy says “Hi” and asks whether you might live in the Midwest or in the South?
They should try not to all be so “mad”, though
;~P
“Gimme an “H” !!
goddamit !
she has also been the titular head of the Alaska National Guard, protecting us from the Russian hordes that would have overrun our country if she had not been there to save us
“I’m not’a comin’. Now, don’t ever say I didn’t do anything for my party.”
Don’t f**k with the hair, Palin. Your treading on thin ice.
In Oregon, hunting happens during bow season with bows and arrows on foot. When that’s over, you can take rifles on foot into the woods.
In Texas, you hide in the woods near where you put out deer feed and then shoot them when they come eat the feed. They call this hunting. Blech!
I think in this case, it may be a clown car. 8-)
Heck in the 1860s they used to shoot buffalos from trains. You don’t want a sportsman to have to work do you
I use a lot of Cavender’s… it really brings out the mmm-mm-goodness of roadkill.
Well her water breaks in Texas she flies to Seattle the plane picks up more people to take to Alaska, how long does that take?
Add that stopover time to the total flight time of Texas to Alaska and you have to wonder.
Just how long after the water breaks before a woman goes into labor? Also what Airline pilot would risk his job if anything happened to Mother or Child on his plane that only a hospital could handle.
Men tend to be very nervous when Women give birth if Palin was in labor wouldn’t the pilot call ahead and have a ambulance waiting in Seattle?
Politico interviewed a half dozen Presidential Historians, including David Kennedy and Dolores Kearns Goodman about Palin’s credentials. They said that they could not find a single Major Party VP Candidate in the modern era with experience as weak as Sarah Palins.
Apparently the McCain campaign couldn’t find an historian that could point to a less experienced candidate to rebut the facts. Even McCain couldn’t remember anyone that had less background in international affairs than his “historic choice”.
They had to attack the scholars for donating to Democrats or the Obvama campaign…implying that the facts were tainted.
But, in reality, they got nothin’.

John McCain is gonna be in a satellite?
Something like this?

Fingertip steering and a travel programming computer are among the interior features of the Seattle-ite. Virtually effortless fingertip steering would allow accurate “zeroing in” at all speeds.
Mary, I can top that. My dad worked for a respected Nazarine University here in San Diego after he retired. He got a group on board to work with educators in Albania, and I now have a “sister”.
Not bad on pork chops either.
Grilled, of course
I’m hoping for Holy Joe Jane has enough material on him to keep blasting for days.
If the daughter was expecting, would she have worn such a figure-hugging top in an official photo?
This came up earlier today and I’m not convinced by that picture. The “I flew from TX to AK while in labour” yarn is a bit hard to swallow, however. I’m on the fence, but I’m happy to spread an unsubstantiated rumour.
Funny!
That was Jane’s twitter message I quoted.
I think the Cohen Brothers experts need to be consulted. I’m sure there are some about…
she has also been the titular head of the Alaska National Guard, protecting us from the Russian hordes that would have overrun our country if she had not been there to save us
And she has titties ! (see the good Doc @ 123)
Sarah for president !!
I may need to see proof of that first though…
Pretty risky way to blow out candles, though it might be a good way to get the cake all to yourself.
Uh, I think Jane meant Coen Brothers…
oh dear god Katymine, why that’s . . . that’s . . . VOTER FRAUD!
better hit the ebay for a new irony meter, this one’s been vaporized. on second thought, I’ll wait til next friday when TyrannyFest 08 is over.
Click TexBetsy at 117 for that video I was talking about. Ain’t no way that woman was pregnant. Wouldn’t a family values gal be all a proud and say something. Wouldn’t a man take it slow and extra courteous with a woman with a late term pregnancy? Would she drink regular coffee? Would she walk briskly? Would she have a such a flat belly?
Now look at the daughter.
but I’m happy to spread an unsubstantiated rumour.
It’s your solemn duty as a good American.
(even if you do spell ‘rumor’ funny)
Nope! Tell him I’m still in California. I’m an adjunct (part-timer, but teaching a full-load) at Sac State. Same Department as Mark Basgall, Michael Delacourt and Cindy Sturtz.
When I lived in Imnaha the bow hunters from Portland would show up and we spent all our time getting their 4×4’s out of whatever ditch they’d driven it into, hunting wounded deer or dealing with rattlesnake bites. What a bunch. The gun toters were no better.
True, although we don’t see a lot of pigs crossing the road in this neck of the woods. Seems like they’d put a lasting finish on your vehicle.
It would be irresponsible not to speculate. The MSM have taught us journamalistical ethics well.
Eats a lot of veges
Shit, they called it hunting in Texas when you shoot your friend in the face.
It’s a colourful way of spelling.
thanks.
I’ll do a little more googling.
“Titular head of the National Guard”…Puleese, let’s not be sexist now!
McCain had to read Palin’s name off a card. Yes, we are well acquainted and she will be a wonderful VP

What a mavericky thing to do. Pick a divisive idealogue that appeals to the basest of the base.

At those canned bird hunts down along the TX/MEX border they use young Mexican men to flush out the birds with sticks. Sometimes these men are shot by accident. Never reported.
Mary, I’ve been thinkin’ that. I just got back from Borneo and Sumatra and have a pretty heavy teaching load but free Tuesdays and Thursdays; maybe sometime before the election.

One thing I noticed on the picture

was the daughter’s worried look when everyone else was smiling and her cupped hands trying to hide her belly.
All they need are medical records to pot this to rest. In the next few days, someone will come forward, it is rather hard to believe they pulled this hoax off in the first place. If it indeed is a faked preganancy, word will come out within a week and the Guv will decide that family obligations make it impossible to run.
ROFL! I love that one!
Why does Palin have a BS (major journalism, minor political science)? Shouldn’t it be a BA?
It’d be a shame to waste it, especially when it’s already been tenderized..

pbblttbltt!!!
Sarah Palin is seven months and she is wearing high heel boots with slush on the ground also listen to Tex Betsy’s tape Sarah is slamming her heels on the cement so loud I can hear her walk even when the camera shows her across the street.
Making that kind of noise with her shoes should kill her feet especially if she is carrying extra pounds. Also heels and slush (melting snow that when compressed by your feet for example becomes ice) is not a good idea.
i thought it was a reference to palin’s anti-science stance
That has a lot to do with accessories: whatever brand they’re drinking. One time a farmer even painted his black and white cow with red letters saying “COW” and it still was shot.
I used to backpack a lot, but was very cautious during hunting season til I got far enough away from the trailheads that no one was going to pack out a deer.
Yes, it’s all good.
My neighbor’s clock was shot off the kitche wall in PA. during hunting season.
Since the Republicans may ”suspend” their convention because of Gustav and their prospective nominee and his daughter VP choice are touring potential disaster areas…may I suggest that the Republicans deal with ”two birds with one helicopter-assisted blast”.
They could reschedule their convention. After this was the last time the Republics filled a football stadium.
No, I think it had to do with degrees. Really. But then again… maybe both! But it does depend on the college. As a science major, I had a BA, bec. they did not award BS.
she is all bs – right to the bone. :)
was it one of those kittycat clocks where the eyes move?
My neighbor’s clock was shot off the kitche wall in PA. during hunting season.
I’ve always wanted to do that, but it’s hard to get the license.
Successful clock-hunting – all in the timing?
I hope I never raise your hackles. That’s some cold shit.
Wouldn’t a birth certificate suffice? Doesn’t it have to have the real mothers name on it? Or can a doctor legitimately alter a key official record that establishes citizenship and relationship?
Ouch! That left a mark.
I thought “the baby” was kid #5. There are only THREE kids in this picture. Where’s #4?
Someone was killing time!
Birth certificate should work, though state laws differ on who can access them. Doctors are not supposed to fudge them, but if the parties a rich and powerful enough or if they are friends, I suspect it can be done.
Downs Syndrome does occur in more in older women and exposure to petrochemicals there is another cause

McCain and Sarah are going to the Hurricane? Thats nuts Hurricanes can change direction spin off tornadoes etc.
but if the parties a rich and powerful enough or if they are friends, I suspect it can be done.
“It’s good to be The
KingQueenGovernor” !!Cool!!!!
Ok scary movie ended….. last line…… what happens when the human race stops being human…… well I think it started in January 2001 when Bush was sworn into office….
hurricane pandering.
fuckery all around.
fuckery abounds.
I can’t believe Secret Service would let them travel to an area where a Cat 5 Hurricane was predicted to land…..
some humans aint human
Heh. Indeed.
McCain and Sarah are going to the Hurricane? Thats nuts Hurricanes can change direction spin off tornadoes etc.
I like your optimism, but they’ll probably be ok.
The Alaska Army National Guard is composed of approximately 1850 soldiers
…and most of them have been deployed since she assumed office.
107 have died in Iraq
17 have died in Afghanistan
ET can tell you more, but several in the same Guard unit were killed together in an ambush – all of them were supposed to have been sent home months before their deaths
this from wiki:
5 of the fallen were Inuit. One of these kids listed North Pole, AK as his home
ps -
see hippies, she is ready :D
was it a trophy clock?
I can’t believe Secret Service would let them travel to an area where a Cat 5 Hurricane was predicted to land…..
Those Secret Service guys are some baaad mother -
Shut Your Mouth !!
What a break for the republicans. Almost like a perfect night in Denver for Obama.
Hopefully, for the stupids, the republican convention can be averted.
crikey!
Unfortunately, the storm god Hurakán likes his offerings young and vital, not old and stringy.
Snicker.
No! She was pissed that she didn’t win Miss Congeniality. Miss Buffalo Chip… Miss Polar Bear Chip…
It’s all one of the same.
so are they deployed to tackle the killer mosquito or make sure the tourists behave themselves?
Yeah I can’t believe that either that and tornadoes spawned by the hurricane can hop several miles very quickly no weatherman can say this place here is safe if you get to close.
To close might be half a state away is my guess.
just no bananas
But did she win Miss Pussy? (only another woman could say that)
army, shipping out on 9/11
Actually several years ago i had a dream of Bush and a tornado but that was at the WH.
hard to tell the diff – both bush and tornadoes leave destruction and death wherever they land
was that around the same time the Gannon story appeared?
both bush and tornadoes leave destruction and death wherever they land
But no tornado has ever murdered the English language…
Tornadoes do much less damage.
No when he first got elected president by the Supreme Court.
It is my understanding that McBush/Palin will be visiting their BFF Haley Barbor in MS…. Which could or not be missed by Gustav…..
What I want is to have Gustav and the Hanna to suck the life out of the GOP convention and steal any bounce……
I need to toddle off to bed. Take care and enjoy the snark (but don’t eat the possum – it’s nasty).
Taloc they say has a corncob in his mouth but I always thought it was a harmonica to sing up a wind.
g’nite dr (pause) dick
I am absolutely NOT a conspiracy theorist, but this is just nutsy.
Who the hell (after four kids) gets on an 8 hour flight after the water breaks??
How freaking stupid is our media?
Very good question. From what I can find in most states it is a crime to alter a birth certificate but there is seldom a prosecution.
Nite, Doc.
One of the saddest pictures of memory…just seeing all those poor, desperate folks standing around the dome. Mostly poor, deprived folks left to struggle in a terrible school system. Hearing that liar, cheating McC. is going on the trip is just a replay of phony w grandstanding in Jackson Square with all his own theatrics that he imported. Now, McSame. Feels like someone stopping to look at an accident.
How studid, bad judgement, to interfere with the important work to be done in the city and on the coast. Wonder if Mayor Nagin will meet him? The Gov. is one serious dude; I be surprised if he makes time for the bar b Q set. I think I’ll have a rant. I thought she was superMom; why is she going into danger? Why isn’t she home with her brood? We are watching a freak show. Wonder where Cindy is? She may have enough sense to avoid a hurricane trip.
OH Oh I forgot what I wanted to tell everyone…. Been back in AZ now for 24hrs…. only been home 9 days all summer so did my shopping and errands today….. Trader Joe’s, the Farmers Market…. our version of a Kroger store…… through Tempe, Chandler, Mesa……. NOT ONE McCain sign, bumper sticker ….. nothing……. BUT lots of Obama signs and bumper stickers….. and the most was at the Kroger chain store…..
That is very likely to happen unless there is a sympathy bounce do to an injury. I mean old white guys saying how great Bush/McCain is or a Hurricane I know what I would watch.
My sister gave her son her maiden name and the first name John, declaring no father on the BCert. I persuaded her to give the child his right last name – the name of his millionaire father. I downloaded the forms and she changed the first and last names easy as pie. IIRC, there is a 60 day window to change Bcert names the easy way.
Interesting. With a similar curriculum to yours, I got a BBA. Guess I’d always assumed there was more uniformity in degrees.
I have never thought you were a tin foil at type. I agree with what you are saying this story stinks.
It’s not a matter of intelligence, it’s the republican media.
There was no peep about the raids today either.
Sorry my comment at 277 it should read
Tin Foil Hat
I’d guess they don’t make the winner of that one public.
lol – probably both
but this is where the wingers get to refer to her as CiC – she has never had to mobilize the AK National Guard or the AK Air National Guard for anything
Wonder where Cindy is? She may have enough sense to avoid a hurricane trip.
New McLame campaign
rulefact of life – Where Sarah is, Cindy isn’t.That’s funny. Birth certificates do not truly establish paternity; names can just be put there as you show. But maternity is very seldom a question. Nice, huh?
Kroger? Then McCain is losing the lower middle class. Interesting I would have expected more Obama stickers at Trader Joes.
You have a habit for making me LOL…thanks. I am guessing you are right. Sarah not Cindy’s type, you’re saying?
is this the child with the middle name “Van”?
As in “Van Palin”?
Fraught Dkos commenters had the diarist take down the diary about the possibility of a Palin child being a daughter child…
I gotta step in, and blog whore a bit:
Sarah Palin is…That Gov!
I think it’s an absolutely valid question.
They surely do not believe that will be the end of the story; I wonder if this may be part of the conversation en route to the hurricane venue.

Palin has a record of bending the rules to her favor. She has the power and ability and motive to pull off this Republican Desperate Housewives pregnancy scheme.
Van is like Von for Germans it means nobility But I forgot for which country Holland maybe?
On evening news tonight even Bob Schieffer contributed, not sure where he got it, that she may be the kind of woman that women do not like…that “Pistol Packing Mama” thing. I don’t know what pulling it off would mean. So it’s her child? But how wildly questioned, etc. I am guessing that up til now no one has particularly just really been “gunning” (sorry) for her. But what a boat load of controversy so soon. Weird, I think.
Pretty early post 9/11 the feds tried to (or perhaps actually did) change state birth certificate laws, allegedly to prevent id theft. Limited who had access and required states to obtain ID and report all certified copies issued. The genealogy community went nuts.
Not that I’m aware of…could be though.
So, jayt. Have you somehow calmed down over the arrests in Minneapolis?
Fantastic news!
Oh god, what a revolting thought…mccane in the bedroom. If I were Cindy, I’d give that one up in a heartbeat.
