She said disingenuously...

"I did not call [Sarah Palin] Gov. Gidget or Caribou Barbie." — Creators.com columnist Susan Estrich

Nice mention, though, 'ey, kiddo? I love it when they refuse to twist the scalpel without anaesthetics.

I've called Sarah Palin a glow-in-the-dark biohazard, but that's only because she's a fear-mongering secessionist twit who doesn't mind inciting to riot. (To be fair, the only real danger she poses is to McCain's chances on November 4th.)

That said, we did hear a word of Zen from John McCain this week: "No, ma'am. No, ma'am. [Barack Obama] is a decent family man." This, contradicting the woman who said Obama's an "Arab." He even added, to another audience member, "You don't have to be a-skeered of President Obama."

That's the John McCain I remember, the one I could have supported months ago, before it became too late. It was interesting to hear Joe Biden defending McCain earlier, on the grounds that McCains's actually unhappy banging on the ol' Nixon/Rove/Atwater war drums.

The Sean Hannity/Rush Limbaugh wingnuts are as much an embarassment to Eisenhower Republicans as the Ku Klux Klan was to New Deal Democrats.
