I'm not sure of your point, but it did take three attempts for Mr Reagan to get the nomination. While we can all look back in hindsight at the obvious rightness of his accomplishments, no one can claim that he didn't have to fight anti-conservative prejudices all the way to achieve them. And he wasn't nearly as scrutinized upon that nomination or had his writing fact-checked with the effort and gusto the press is directing toward Sarah Palin.

Hanes should have Sheen hawking those sleeveless undershirts. What are they called again?

Mud wrestling? I think I'll be changing my New Year's Eve plans.

Agreed. And like Andy, she also has the pipes to back it up.

A seat in Congress would make Mrs Palin a less attractive candidate, adding no value at all to her resume, given the reputation those narcissists have - and no doubt need - to be successful in the House or Senate. An executive such as a governor is always preferable to a professional horse-trader for President. Except for Jimmah Carter, of course.
As for the baggage, most of it is media invention or exaggeration. How much of the Apologist-in-chief's baggage has been hidden or minimized by the lefty-biased media? This is becoming increasingly obvious to independents and previously unconvinced GOP voters. Kudos to Conan O'Brien for giving her the opportunity to give one of our celebrity betters a taste of his own medicine.

Shows what I know, I can hardly keep up anymore. I had to double-check to see if Land Rover was still owned by Ford (it's not, btw). Anyway, congratulations on your self control. Whenever I encounter a Prius owner I laugh derisively until my eyes water and I'm forced to drive under 80 mph until I regain my composure. They're a menace to society, I tells ya!

I like the cut of your jib, but a truly evil Republican wouldn't buy a second GM product. Maybe something along the lines of a Range Rover Sport. Too fast, too thirsty, too much leather, too capitalist. Who could ask for more?

Ironically, while sitting in a theater watching a chick flick I feel as if I'm the one dying slowly.

Ditto those comments that suggest you write a novel. With your ear for dialogue you'd be the Elmore Leonard of political satire. "America is very totally different! It has 110 volt outlets" killed me.
