I’m tired of hearing all the Repugs falsely claiming that Barack Obama was referring to Gov. Sarah Palin personally when he decried the lies of John McCain and Palin as lipstick on a pig. It’s a metaphor and is frequently used — even Saint John McSame has used the expression before.
Face it. Obama got it [...]
Oh my! The Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sara Palin is on a first-name basis with the wealthiest man in the world — Warren Buffett.
The Washington Post has a big piece today on Sarah Palin billing Alaska’s taxpayers for “312 nights spent in her home during her first 19 months in office, charging a ‘per diem’ allowance intended to cover meals and incidental expenses while traveling on state business.”
In addition to the traveling, while not traveling, expenses, the governor [...]

ACORN:
“Jesus was a community organizer; Pontius Pilate was a governor”
Josh Marshall:
“Isn’t Palin supposed to move to Cheney’s undisclosed location after she gets elected, not before?”

Unbelievable. The McCain campaign needs to revisit Democracy 101 and pay particular attention to sessions on the Fourth Estate. From Marc Ambinder:
A senior McCain campaign official advises that, despite the gaggle of requests and pressure from the media, Gov. Sarah Palin won’t submit to a formal interview anytime soon. She may take some questions from [...]
I can’t see Bill Maher passing this opportunity up tonight. From The Hill:
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, whose choice as John McCain’s vice presidential running mate is being touted as a hit with social conservatives and supporters of “family values,” has acknowledged smoking marijuana in the past. Does it matter?
In a word, yes.
On Aug. 6, 2006, [...]
Excellent! I can’t think of a better person to prepare Gov. Sarah Palin on foreign policy than Joe Lieberman.
Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman is among several national security experts helping brief Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin on foreign policy issues as she prepares to hit the campaign trail while cramming for a debate with her [...]
The results from NBC News latest straw poll.

It would be hard to surpass Glenn Greenwald’s superbly written critique of Sarah Palin’s and Rudy Giuliani’s speeches last night at the Republican National Convention.
With last night’s cheerfully vicious speeches from Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin, the Republicans did what they always do in order to win elections: they exploited raw cultural divides while [...]
