Some folks you just can't please. i am pleased, it appears that we have much to point and laugh about for the next 4 years. it is rather amusing to hear Fox news being boycotted for airing the Palin criticisms.

I felt like a cynical act of desperation, a grab for the female 'Hillary' vote. The introduction of Palin was the end of the McCain campaign for me.

Tattling like this is like sawing off the branch while you're sitting on the wrong end of it. * and Western second. We got both kinds of music!

I had a thought this AM about the shopping spree reports. It would seem that the actual trips to the stores was done by aids. Consequently, they would have likely picked up several sizes, shades and variations of most items. Then they would return anything Palin didn't like. She still could have run up 150+ thousands of dollars in bills, but the possibility existed that this wasn't the case. What makes me think that I am wrong, and she really did go nuts shopping, is that they never offered any explanation along these lines. Good observations.
