Makes the reasons for some statements in that recent interview clearer, in retrospect.

They may have had a shot to make it all work, if not for the immense pressures from the constant attention and prying from the "blogosphere" vultures. (For lack of a better term)

I will say that the kid would have been better off if Palin had not been picked to run for VP (or if she had declined).

I'll be perfectly happy to see the entire Palin clan return to anonymity. --Bob

I like Sarah Palin, but I do not want her to become the standard-bearer for the Republican Party.

Cool. What time does Tech lose today? I know what happened last night, but if Pat Knight's in charge, bad things happen.

Seriously. The final score was 71-64.

I knew you weren't lying. I was expressing my surprise, not disbelief.

I thought about posting this yesterday but couldn't do it because I couldn't separate it from Sarah Palin. I'm still mad at her assertion that it was 100% Bristol's choice to have the baby, while at the same time asserting that in every other pregnancy there is no choice.

But that has nothing to do with the lives that Bristol and Levi are going to have. Let's give the kids a break.

Rush Limbaugh is not the leader of the Republican Party, no matter how much President Obama and Jon Stewart want you to think so.

According to David Frum, Limbaugh wants us to think so too. Here's the URL:

Yes- if she had not been picked for the VP slot, they wouldn't have had to pretend they were going to be together in the first place.

Yes, I'm much happier that Rush is.

No, just an additional comment.

As long as Rush is the self-anointed leader of the Republican party, Democrats will have an easy time winning elections.

I heard on the radio here yesterday that Sarah Palin's PAC is raising money for her to visit Indiana next month, to "show support for causes she believes in." She's already scheduled to speak at my county's Right to Life banquet, followed by a breakfast with an organization devoted to helping special-needs children.

FDSN.

The end is nigh. We agree on something related to politics.

Time to stock up on canned food and ammo...

edited to add: The same applies to the Obama children. They should be strictly off limits to any sort of press coverage.
