1. Keith at his smug worst. nt

2. Fame is a funny thing.

For better or worse, this is the 2008 edition of Keith. There's an intersection where snark meets savvy, and sometimes he's on the wrong side of the street. Such is life.

3. As for me, I love this kind of smugness.

I can't feel sorry for Palin and I love it when Keith brings the snark.

4. As Keith & Margaret Carlson were talking toward the end of the video

one scene showed supporters holding signs as MILFy McMooseburger bouncing was up to the podium. One of the signs looked to me just like it said, 'SARAH U BITCH.' Upon closer examination, however, it actually said, 'SARAH U BETCHA.'

Wishful thinking on my part.

5. The resemblance and stench are uncanny

6. Apparently it's the media's job to ...

Broadcast everything she or McCain spews, without criticism or fact-checking;

Take her word that she's qualified and has been properly vetted;

Not ask any difficult questions; and

Ignore all reports of missteps from within her own campaign unless the source is willing to go on the record and the story can be independently verified with complete certainty.

7. Oh, those media "stinkers" who keep picking on poor Sarah!

:nopity:

She might want to worry a bit more about bloggers who are paying attention than about the media. For instance, Mudflats has noticed some serious discrepancies between Palin's description of events in Troopergate and other known facts, admissions and emails.

Palin’s Neiman Marcus Pants on Fire?
<..>
The not-so-coincidental timing that released the Personnel Board’s contrary “Palin is innocent” finding on November 3rd, meant that headlines on election day in Alaska and elsewhere proclaimed Palin’s exoneration of wrongdoing. How very beneficial for her.
So now that election day is past, it’s time to revisit that slippery little event that snuck past us right before the election.
There’s a lot to cover, and these two Troopergate reports contradict each other in multiple ways. So, rather than to overload our poor brains that are still recovering from the frenzy of the election season, let’s just look at one for now.
The question at hand: Did Palin, and/or her staff inappropriately apply pressure to then Commissioner of Public Safety Walt Monegan to fire her ex-brother-in-law Alaska State Trooper Mike Wooten? And was the reason that Monegan subsequently lost his job at least in part because he didn’t fire Wooten?
Commissioner Monegan testified under oath that the Governor called him in January 2007 to talk about Trooper Wooten.
Sarah Palin denied, under oath, that the conversation occurred.
<<<LOUD FIRE ALARM SOUND>>>

8. She needs to be in jail

Sarah Palin's attacks on Barack Obama's patriotism provoked a spike in death threats against the future president, Secret Service agents revealed during the final weeks of the campaign.
