Palin's lame clothes defense

Over the weekend, Sarah Palin lamely tried to defend the McCain campaign's expenditures for her clothes, and she sounded about as genuine as I'd expect any politician to sound when he or she is on shaky ground, or maybe as genuine as she sounded when she says repeatedly on the campaign trail that she never supported the Bridge to Nowhere.

Palin really is the most superficial, phony candidate that has been on a presidential ticket in my lifetime. Who would have thought that in 2008, 20 years after Mr. Superficial, Dan Quayle, we would have someone who makes him look like a policy wonk?

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I don't believe a word she says about the $150k tab, or McCain's defense, for that matter. Yea sure, it was all going to charity before that damn lib-rul media found out about it. Dry that one out, you could fertilize the lawn.

Palin is probably delighted that the issue of her clothes was raised in the media, because she now gets to spend less time talking about policy and answering questions, two things that she has proven more than reluctant to do.

I know, I know, there are, ahem, 150,000 other things the media could be and should be focusing on, a little more than a week before the election. But, it goes to character, Your Honor.

This certainly makes John Edwards' alleged $400 haircuts seem trivial by nature, doesn't it?

What's more, the McCain camp has got to explain it - after all, McCain has to keep the river of campaign cash flowing, a mere eight days before the election.

Sarah Palin Bingo!

This is one of the most creative things I've seen on the Internet since Sarah Palin was selected by John McCain to be his running mate. Of course, our corporate media is completely falling down and neglecting its duty to ask tough questions of Palin, but thank God for the Internet - it's the only way the truth is getting out and getting reported at all. (More to come on Palin later on this afternoon.)
