#2 I watched on TV while Eagleton gave his acceptance speech at the '72 donk convention. I don't remember what he had to say but I do remember he was sweating and his hands were shaking. He got through it but you could tell he wasn't very well prepared.

Sarah Palin was cool, calm and collected all throughout her speech even when the teleprompter got ahead of her. She was very well prepared and she did a wonderful job. No comparison.

If they're trying to compare a girl's pregnancy to Eagleton's depression and shock therapy I'm not seeing that either.

Besides, Eagleton was a donk.

#3 The liberals just keep digging themselves deeper and deeper into a hole. If they think Palin is going away, then they're even more delusional than usual. I smell fear. I love it.

Whatever you do, mister, please do don't throw Sarah in that Eagleton briar patch!

Pretty please? With ~~hockey sticks and moose guts~~ sugar and cream on it? :-D

#6 "particularly about how and when Palin disclosed the news that her teenage daughter is pregnant"

This was a well known item in their home town for WEEKS before the VP announcement. It was no secret. The only thing was that the idiots in the MSM didn't know it, therefore they claim it as a surprise, as if those fecking arrogant urban elite morons are the fount of all knowledge.

#7 I have a (very) low opinion of Obama and crew, but this, THIS, is just bottom-of-the-barrel clueless. Can they possibly stay this stupid for the next 60 days?

#8 They can chalk up next week's McCain/Palin poll jump to convention/9-11 anniversary bounce. Much after that though, and even they will catch on.

#10 I read somewhere on the internet this little tidbit:

Q: What's the difference between Thomas Eagleton and Sarah Palin?

A: Eagleton was a sissy.
