Actually, when you look at the big scene, I see a politico-religio war between Dobson evangelicals (Palin) and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Romney)…An interesting fight to see within the ranks of the GOP. Now, all the GOP need is to have a Catholic come forward as a possible 2012 candidate and talk about a fight…

I personally would be dispatching undercover IRS agents to the largest Evangelical and Mormon churches to find out who is violating their non-profit status for political activity and yank their NP status and send a tax bill.

Huh. If it all starts with fancy girly clothes, fancy stores, and ultra-high-limit credit cards, then the first character who pops to mind is… Cindy, she of the Amex Black Card. Didn’t the shopping start right about the same time Cindy started getting her nose all out of joint over McJohn’s sudden intense interest in Sarah? Weren’t the expenditures limited to the Palin Family camp, not tainting any of Team McCain? Wasn’t Toobz’ trouble with inappropriately accepting spendy stuff fully evident by then? In short, could this all be Cindy trying to contain the Rogue Sarah threat going forward?

(And just BTW, how weird is it that everyone in Palin’s family dresses way fancier on the campaign podium than anyone in McCain’s much richer family does… with the single frequent exception of Cindy herself?)

ew, sorry to comment without reading them above me here, as i’m sure someone has already made this point. but it seems to me that the mystery is somewhat solved by the fact that it was the RNC that paid for those clothes, not the mccain campaign. given this little piece of the puzzle, the sniping makes sense. i mean, those purchases could therefore have been made behind the campaign’s back for the most part, leading one to suspect someone like, oh i dunno, kristol the killer (with a heartthrob) may have had a hand in it.

but it all makes chaotic sense to me, really, sort of like watching the logic of monty python films. they’re not predictable, but the lunacy is so consistent and persistent it all makes sense somehow.

Ew/all have you seen this?
Hagel: Palin “Arguably the Thinnest Resume candidate” for V.P. in U.S. history. With Colin Powell, Christopher Hitchens, Kathleen Parker, Buckley, Chris Matthews etc. ripping into Palin’s lack of qualifications does anyone really think they could be thinking about her for 2012?

Wardrobegate (pictures of her clothes).
The one photo of the young men looking through her legs says it all “every time Sarah speaks Joe six pack feels smarter and harder”

You have a stronger stomach than I do; I saw that headline and didn’t have the stomach to go read the article.

Which, ironically, has made it all the more incredible to watch this year.
Especially the knives coming out and the GOP bickering.

Against a background of 100,000 people in Denver (of all places!) supporting the Dems and Obama.
I still have to pinch myself to believe this is really happening.
