#1 Kerry attacks Palin as "Cheneyesque"

This is an attack? You could have fooled me; I took it as a high compliment. Only higher political compliment I can think of for Gov. Palin would be "Thatcheresque." That wonderfully bright, courageous woman is the gold standard against which all modern politicians, and particularly all modern female politicians, should be measured. I give Mrs. Thatcher pride of place over President Reagan simply because she was always fighting a more difficult rearguard action against her enemies at home.

Cheney has been a very good VP. Self-effacing, effective, always working for his President and his country without caring who got the credit for his efforts. That he was successful in his endeavors is shown by the bitter hatred his enemies on the left bear him. If Gov. Palin measures up to Dick Cheney she'll have done herself and her country proud. I, however, expect we'll see even better from her. Maybe I'm just being too optimistic, but I truly think this woman is something special.

#3 because, after all, John Edwards (D-Screwingthestaff), was soooo experienced and all. Waffles is an idiot. Let him speak more often

#4 Ah, I see my blow-dried blowhard Senator is at it again.

"With the choice of Gov. Palin, its the third term of Dick Cheney,"

This is bad in what way, Captain Hairdo?

#5 What Kerry means is that she produces more testosterone per day than he does.*

*(the average woman produces .5 milligram/day. Him? Not so much)

#6 Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) described Palin as a member of the "flat-earth caucus," who McCain picked purely to please the conservative base. xx

Let me then describe Thee One as a member of the ~~Congressional Black Caucus~~ who Senator Pelosi picked to please her extreme, liberal socialist base.

#13 They are worried. Politicos attack w/crazy assertions when they are nervous. The fact is, she prolly will pick up Hillary women voters and the evangelical core-conservatives of the GOP and Johnny boy knows it.
