Even Palin has given up on Joe Miller - calls him a lost cause




http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/10/sarah-palin-calls-joe-miller-a-lost-cause-quotes-skopes-monkey-trial-attorney.php

There are probably better ways to inspire confidence in a candidate's prospects when he's in free fall than to call him a lost cause. But that's exactly what Sarah Palin did to one of her favorite tea partiers last night.

"Joe Miller - do not give up. It's you against the machine. This is it. 'Lost causes' are the only ones worth fighting for,'" Palin tweeted, quoting famed Scopes Monkey Trial attorney Clarence Darrow.

It seems unlikely that Palin is aware that Darrow was a big wig at the American Civil Liberties Union given her penchant for scoffing at...civil liberties. And one wonders whether Palin knows that, in the Scopes trial, Darrow defended John Scopes, who violated Tennessee law by teaching evolution. But there you have it.

5. She doesn't write/send these
She has no idea who Clarence Darrow is/or his place in history. I wish this idiot would finally STFU.

7. The more teabaggers that lose on Tuesday, the greater the chance of her shutting the fuck up.
Well...perhaps that's wishful thinking!
