Insufferable sarcastic politicians
From Politico:
"Ms. Palin needs to be reminded that Jesus Christ was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor."
I think if you had Rush Limbaugh read Sarah Palin's speech, it would have seemed completely in character. Which is to say, snide, semi-hypocritical, and content-less. Why hasn't the economy been mentioned one single time at the RNC?
The other thing I can't stand is the fact that if Chelsea Clinton had a child out of wedlock, conservatives would be all over Hillary. It would be damning evidence of Clinton moral bankruptcy, etc. etc. etc. But when this woman's 17-year-old daughter gets pregnant, somehow she's mom of the year? What? And her motherhood seems to be her major "qualification" here!
I guess being a "maverick" means that teen pregnancy is now AOK in the Party of Moral Rectitude and Family Values (this goes waaaay beyond "flip-flopping"). There, see how easy sarcasm is? Even an Alaskan could do it!
What a BUMMER! My head hurts.
EDIT 9/05: Lest you think this is all hot air, here's the FAQ.

Man, she's a MILF !
No argument there --- that's the core of her electability.
I am definitely against claiming that she has Russian foreign policy experience. (If only because it would lead to governors looking for opportunities to interact with foreign leaders, which can only lead to trouble. And which is banned in the constitution, right?) But you must admit, it's a bit of a harsh "FAQ"... for instance, left out are the actual charges in "Troopergate": DUI on Duty, tasering a 10-year-old, and other child abuse--details as important as the family relation. In another answer, the FAQ's only source is someone she defeated in a bitterly contested election; the FAQ fails to identify this potential conflict of interest. That said, the FAQ certainly is a good effort to try to cut through all the absurd reporting surrounding her.
It's kind of insane how polarizing her 1-week-old national career is. She's an adulterous, corrupt, Big-Oil-supporting right-wing nutjob with no experience, selfishly putting herself before her family and her family before the state; or, she's a family hero, everywoman yet Superwoman, who walks the talk and cleaned up Big Oil's sleazy dealings with the corrupt Alaskan political establishment.
95% of the country had never heard of her 1 week ago; now everyone is in 1 of 2 completely alternate universes.
