On both sides? I doubt liberals are buying her book or donating to her vacation fund (err... I mean PAC).
she's laughing all the way to the bank, taking advantage of the re s on both sides of the aisle

Actually, the joke is on the kids... smh
i was watching cnn yesterday and anderson cooper was saying her bus was for publicity. Giving her the publicity she wants
Not surprised the media wants to catch a nugget or two of the intelligible stuff she utters... but, do you think showing her bus switched any dems to like her?
Well , now that WH has shown me her bus I'm a fan.
Nationalism, boilerplate, intentional pratfalls and sly winks to churchy white folks. Worked fine in 2000 for Bush. The trick for the GOP in 2012 will be finding a candidate who can do the bit convincingly.
Rudy Giuliani publicly pondering a bid can't be a very good sign. Just saying.
Geez, perfect example of college being too easy for its own good.
Julie Annie is actually leading some polls.
The Repugs know they have a very weak field, and the millstone around their necks is Ryan's vicious Kill Medicare debacle.
The millstone around her neck is a 25% negative rating among likely GOP voters. That's an election breaker for any candidate that may make it to the general election. While those people won't vote Obama, if it's windy or cloudy or they have some allergy congestion, they'll stay home on election day. I would also say that most of those folks are in primarily purple states, the ones you need to flip to win the election.
Finally Palin and Lady Gaga mentioned in the same thread, allowing me to post this:
So Now All These People will apologize to Sarah Palin, right?
As with most people, I simply took at face value the popular version that Paul Revere warned that the British were coming, the British were coming.
Not having any real reason to look into it any deeper, Sarah Palin's statement that Revere warned the British that the colonial militias were waiting seemed odd.
But it appears that the popular version is not complete.
In fact, as pointed out at Conservatives4Palin, Revere did in fact tell the British that the colonial militias, who had been alerted, were waiting for them. Here is the original historical text written by Revere (spelling in original, bold added):
I observed a Wood at a Small distance, & made for that. When I got there, out Started Six officers, on Horse back,and orderd me to dismount;-one of them, who appeared to have the command, examined me, where I came from,& what my Name Was? I told him. it was Revere, he asked if it was Paul? I told him yes He asked me if I was an express? I answered in the afirmative. He demanded what time I left Boston? I told him; and aded, that their troops had catched aground in passing the River, and that There would be five hundred Americans there in a short time, for I had alarmed the Country all the way up. He imediately rode towards those who stoppd us, when all five of them came down upon a full gallop; one of them, whom I afterwards found to be Major Mitchel, of the 5th Regiment, Clapped his pistol to my head, called me by name, & told me he was going to ask me some questions, & if I did not give him true answers, he would blow my brains out. He then asked me similar questions to those above. He then orderd me to mount my Horse, after searching me for arms
Palin's short statement on the video was less than clear; that sometimes happens but the part of the statement which has people screaming -- that Revere warned the British that the colonial militias were waiting -- appears to be true.
I've learned something new today, about Paul Revere.
The leading lights of the left-blogosphere have made fools of themselves, as have people who are not of the left-blogosphere. I presume they all will be apologizing.
Update: Aaron Worthing at Patterico has a round-up of all the hyperventilated left-blogospheric reaction, including by Think Progress, which writes:
It’s hard to imagine why Revere would warn the British of anything, or why he’d do it with bells and gun shots.
This account in "Paul Revere's Ride" by David Hackett Fischer (Oxford University Press 1994), may be of interest to Think Progress and all the others laughing because they purport to be so much better informed than Palin:
"A townsman remembered that 'repeated gunshots, the beating of drums and the ringing of bells filled the air.'.... Along the North Shore of Massachusetts, church bells began to toll and the heavy beat of drums could be heard for many miles in the night air."
It's available on Google Books.

He's been butthurt about people hating on Palin before...

Wow, they didn't even have to waterboard Paul Revere.
And of course, there's nothing about Revere's shooting guns or ringing bells.
The Star of David Giant Cross is pretty damn good.
Yes, I'm sure Sarah Palin meant that when she said Revere warned the British that we weren't giving up our 2nd amendment rights before there was a 2nd amendment.
She should have worn the first outfit to the biker rally and the second to New York. Now that would have been entertainment.
At first glance, I thought it was just a Biden-esque gaffe. Upon rewatching the video, I thought she may very well be a complete dumbass. Then Crookshanks post appears, and I'm not so sure. She may only be 50% dumbass.
Why are you liberals to afraid of Palin?
If she isn't a threat, why do you keep her in the public eye?
