I heard that the Downs kid isn't hers, but her daughter's. Possible shenanigans there.

Interesting to note John McCain has been a huge advocate for this and autism. McC's views on autism are strange. He believes mercury in vaccines causes it.

Actually, a number of people subscribe to that theory, though IIRC it's been pretty thoroughly proven false.

1. None of the above have large breasts.

Engrish fail.

I never said that any of the named slags had large breasts, nor does my sentence necessarily imply it. "Those other" can suggest another set of women who have large breasts in addition to the named women (who don't), or "other women who like the named women have large breasts".

The one I was thinking of is called Debbie Schlussel, or something like that. She has a nice pair and there's another one with enormous mammaries whose name escapes me.

Are people so desperate to try to score points that they abandon the rules pertaining to the parsing of English sentences?

We're lucky we have Agathon and other people who rape infants around to teach us the proper use of the English language.

Palin has far more experience then Obama.

Jesus, that's dumb even for you. Obama has 8 years in the IL state Legislature and 3.5 years (basically a full term by election day) in the US Senate. Palin has 6 years as mayor of a tiny town and two years as governor of Alaska.

If you want to claim that only executive experience counts then I disagree but fair enough, however, then you have to also throw out McCain's 26 years in the Senate since it is also not "real" experience.

Consistency, Ben. You need it.

I'm sure you didn't mean that defamatory insult the way its sounds.

Of course he did. He's just crying because I put him on ignore for being a stupid prat, and his ego can't handle it.

Actually, calling him that is offensive to stupid prats to be honest.

Speaking of Kos...

Sarah Palin left the finances of her town Wasilla in tatters when she moved on in 2002 (h/t xgz). She wanted a legacy as mayor, it seems, and pushed hard for the town to build a hyper-expensive sports complex. But Palin screwed the process up badly. Instead of buying the land for the complex when it was offered, her administration allowed a developer named Gary Lundgren to snap it up. Then Wasilla tried to seize the land from Lundgren through eminent domain. In the end, what with court costs Wasilla paid at least $ 1.7 million for land it could have bought for less than one tenth that sum - if the purchase had been handled properly. For this incompetence, Wasilla is still paying a steep price: higher taxes and cutbacks in services. In other words Palin is about as efficient as Michael Brown, onetime head of FEMA.

I think this pick is great. She moves McCain away from the center and puts him firmly back in the wingnut camp, and both removes the "experience" point McCain had while bringing the age issue front and center. I figure unless the Repugs can muster a phenomenal convention, the Dems have sealed this one.

Brilliant!

Well i was leaning McCain... after this debacle, this ridiculous shallow gimmick i am perfectly fine with giving Obama a chance at change. McCain went against everything he has attacked Obama for & tried to get his own celebrity. Pathetic.

[Ben Kenobi]

lonely loser conservative men who fantasize about women like Ann Coulter, Rachel Marsden, Michelle Malkin and those other *****es with the large breasts and short skirts who go around screeching about liberals

They all wear short skirts and they all screech about liberals, but they don't all have large breasts.

Epic fail.

Palin opposes the right for women to decide whether or not to get an abortion and she opposes equal marriage rights for gays and lesbians.

Also, her entire military experience is as commander-in-chief of the Alaska National Guard. This means Republicans better tone-down their attacks on Obama on his lack of military experience.

8 years?

Is this the new math?

I should think executive experience would be more important.

If you want to claim that only executive experience counts then I disagree but fair enough, however, then you have to also throw out McCain's 26 years in the Senate since it is also not "real" experience.

That would be the case, except for the fact that neither Obama nor Biden has executive experience, neither of them have served in the military either.

I think if you don't have one you should have the other.

How does being in the military make one a better president?

Why?

Palin who is a chick has more military experience then the entire Dem ticket combined.

That's solid gold for this race.
