re: #95 Cato the Elder

If it were just Texas, I’d yawn and say, “Let the fuckwits secede.”

But this is precisely the agenda of the teabaggers and in particular of their chief Bible-humper, Sarah Palin.

And as much as I loathe her, I also believe she has an excellent chance of taking the White House in 2012.

Yes, the American people really are that stupid.

Palin’s problem is that you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.

From the Couric and Gibson interviews to the Tina Fey impressions, the image of her as a silly lightweight is one she’ll have to shed (“I can see Russia from my house.”) If it were someone else, I’d say maybe they were up to the task of re-engineering their image. I don’t think she is.

And it doesn’t help that she gets into public squabbles with her daughter’s ex-boyfriend or runs around screaming about the “lamestream” media.
