Hendrik Hertzberg points out that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin engages in some sort of wealth distribution. So where’s the wingnut priest to say that she’s no Robin Hood?
For her part, Sarah Palin, who has lately taken to calling Obama “Barack the Wealth Spreader,” seems to be something of a suspect character herself. She is, at [...]

Ok, so maybe John McCain is looking at Palin’s notes but I like to think he checking Sarah Palin out. That’s a good indication that McCain is healthy and virile. And maybe a bit lecherous. It would be good to get some lechery back in the White House.
Or maybe it’s just creepy. You be [...]
