Surely the best plan possible for getting money out of a country deep in debt is to make sure it makes no money:

Newt Gingrich has won the “swinger” vote in South Carolina, proving that the matron of marital virtue, Sarah Palin, was right regarding the revelation that he’d asked his wife for an open marriage.

Just when I thought that I was condemned to a year of joylessly mocking the horse-race aspects of all political coverage in a Presidential election year, along comes Bill Kristol & the Koch Bros to provide me with daily material from the type of people that only wingnut welfare could love and employ.

Movies-goers and politics junkies will have their eyes-a-poppin’ when The Undefeated hits theaters July 15th. Directed by Tea Party activist Stephen Bannon, the documentary features numerous Palin supporters giving rah-rahs about the former Alaska governor

Meanwhile, guerrilla filmmaker Nick Broomfield has a Palin pic in the can. In the past, he’s skewered Courtney Love in Kurt & Courtney, raised more than a few questions in Biggie & Tupac, and profiled Margaret Thatcher, dominatrixes, and serial killer Aileen Wuornos.

Let’s pick who’s crazier: Bachmann or Palin, Today in news only marginally less stupid than pictures of somebody’s junk.

When last we visited the Alaskan All-stars, aka the the Superstar Snowbunnies, the Thrillas from Wasilla, Sarah was shootin’ elks on her reee-aliteee teevee show and Li’l Bristol had jest ’bout won the dancin’ show.

Well now it’s almost Valentine’s Day and time to check in on the family.

The Michael Steele trainwreck is a thing of the near past, and his misdeeds are now eclipsed by a double wallop: An expensive fundraiser for GOP freshmen Congress people, and what at least is being speculated on as being a warming towards the LGBT community.

Wonder what Willard, Huck and the Quitter are going to say after it passes in the Senate — since they all think gays in the military should stay in the closet.

Now, both characters in this drama will have new books to sell soon. But the stunning lack of irony, or self-assessment, on Sarah Palin’s part continues to amaze. Do she and her show make this privacy point knowing full well that McGinniss will have a claim against them, thus bumping up the buzz? Or does she simply not get the point? Or do they not care, since McGinniss is in her world a lower form of life, known as ‘other people?’

Looks like The Quitter’s recent, last-ditch efforts to save her grifter cabana boy have all been for naught.
