WASHINGTON, D.C. -- "By now, and by god, it should have settled permanently in the consciousness of the nation what a huge and untoward gamble with the country John McCain and his campaign took in 2008 when they elevated Sarah Palin from her rightful place on the tundra to the political celebrity she currently enjoys. McCain should pay a heavy price for unleashing this ignorant, two-wheeled bilewagon on the country's politics. If you think she's a legitimate political leader, you're an idiot and a sucker and I feel sorry for you."

I would love this kind of talent for telling it like it is.

"McCain should pay a heavy price for unleashing this ignorant, two-wheeled bilewagon on the country's politics."

7. People who appreciate Charlie are funny, too

Here's a reader's comment:

"I thought CPAC was that thing they make you wear on your face while you sleep at night, if your snoring is so bad it disturbs the entire nation."

9. Oops!

Just realized this is a duplicate thread - murielvolestrangler also posted entire article on home page. Apologies - didn't check that one out before I posted this one. Should have known "one of the Grimm sisters" would refer to Palin.

10. But . . . Sarah flew back to Alaska to have her baby!
