      It's amazing how he, Beck, et al...are always saying 'What are you going to do believe me or the lying tapes?' And, OMG, watch out for the backpeddling!

        He, of course, was taken out of context by Media Matters, the Daily Kos, and MSNBC. Also, those three parties owe him an apology. He, of course, is the biggest defender of disadvantaged individuals.

        ... again...

      Incredible. Again, Blimpy demonstrates the stupidity of his audience, and the contempt with which he regards them.

        The Frankenstein's MOnster metaphor has been used quite a bit now in reference to the propaganda machine the right wing created, but it seems more fitting every day.

        Sarah Palin being considered a serious candidate for VP was ridiculous enough.

        Her staff apologizing to a radio entertainer for non-specific remarks that may have upset him should be a wake-up to anybody but the most dim-witted American.

          And the idea that she was "in a panic" pretty much confirms who's in charge of the GOP.

      I'm sure they did. Just shows how truly out of control Limpy's ego is that he has to go on the air and crow about it.

      So, in Rush's terms, Sarah Palin bent over and grabbed her ankles for Rush.

      This has been great entertainment, that's for sure. Proud to have been one of the thousands of comments making Palin's interns panic on her facebook page, looks like those of us with the IQ to call our her games are actually having an effect in realtime, the newsites are watching/taking notes. Gotta love the power of the internet.

      They seem to have finally realized their comment page was wide open to all non-fans, seem to have closed that and may have blocked some people to boot. Its hard to tell, facebook is buggy because of their recent update. But it doesn't seem to be slowing down the heat.

      I'm cracking up, her sheer hypocrisy is bleeding out her ears. Slap a governor's (Perry) aide on the wrist, and campaign with him this weekend when he's said the EXACT same thing you tell the President who he should fire over? And send Rush desparate calls to warn him you don't want to hurt his feelings for his jokes about "Retard Summits" on the air?

      The best part is, she has the audacity to claim papers like the Washington Post, who question her outrageous inconsistency are simply trying to "take the heat" off Obama.

      I'm trying to figure out if she's actually deluded herself into not seeing how silly she's being. Have been some psychological studies showing people can literally not see things if they believe hard enough.
