14. Hey, you raised the Peter Principle first. You should do it. Of course,

5. They forgot to tack on one thing.

A Palin is one who also harbors racist and secessionist views who will lie in order to water down their extremist beliefs in order to go mainstream.

If that was part of the meaning, a lot more people would get an idea of who and what kind of woman Palin represents: a phony who poses a threat to the diversity and progress of this nation.

7. LOL! Very apt and

appropriate definitions. I've had the misfortune of knowing more than a few Palins. They never seem to entirely go away.

You don't know who put it there.

It doesn't know what to do once it gets up that high.
