Governor Palin is a little upset about double standards

“When I heard Barack Obama state in one of his interviews … that his wife was off limits, meaning, his family was off limits, I naively believed that they respected that … that it applied to all of us, but it didn’t apply.”

Rumors of Ms. Kennedy’s inevitability having, apparently, been a touch exaggerated, we’re back to gaming Governor Paterson’s senatorial appointment.

The White House says they didn’t know about the donation to the RNC’s McCain Victory Committee from Robert Toussie, the father of the man with the rescinded pardon. Unfortunately, in the picture which has since come to light of the two shaking hands, Bush is thanking him for the check.

Most people who are as noisily enthusiastic about Christmas as the current occupants of the White House might hear “in the manger” around this time of year and think “baby.” Apparently, they’ve decided to go with “dog”
