C. Po backs Barack. "Looking for bottom." Sarah Palin. Hil-AR-ious. (Read with sarcasm). ACORN squash. Turnabout. Fair play? Speaking of controversial choices. Maybe she had her learner's permit?

Axis of evil - now with less Korea. W, meet F. F, W. Tight trouser crackdown. I'm not Iron Man, nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh, Sherlock Holmes. More childhood memories being exploited for profit. Cross your reptilian fingers. La la la la la. This woman takes the fun out of everything.

Oh how I wanted to like the young Brit with the big pipes and the hit song Mercy. But oh how, during her short performance, did I find my mind drifting to the critical place. Now, there was a time in my life when being critical and sarcastic was high priority. It’s part of my grew-up-in-Jersey legacy—greet everyone with suspicion and resent others for success that you determine is truly undeserved while wondering how your own talents, which are far, far greater, have slipped recognition.

Like Republican VP nominee, Sarah Palin, I, too, am a hunter and a fisherwoman. In fact, I like to combine the two by shooting fish in a barrel. Which is why, though I know I’m way late to the over-saturated sport known as hurl-shit-at-the-unvetted-candidate-chosen-for-her-good-looks-lack-of-penis-and-radical-conservatism, I just can’t resist. Let’s examine the obvious, shameless marketing first.

Even Pappy and Babs Bush didn’t stoop so low as to play the Retard Card, despite the fact they, too, have a mentally disabled son, one who managed to land a job in the White House.
