(click for source of this fantastic photoshop!)We've now had a week of blaring headlines and one-liners about Sarah Palin as the mavericky, pork-busting reformer from Alaska. But we seem to be witnessing the first stirrings of a backlash and a dawning realization that the 'Sarah Palin' we've heard so much about over the last few days is a fraud of truly comical dimensions.
The McCain camp has made her signature issue shutting down the Bridge to Nowhere. But as The New Republic put it today that's just "a naked lie." And pretty much the same thing has been written today in Newsweek, the Washington Post, the AP, the Wall Street Journal. Yesterday even Fox's Chris Wallace called out Rick Davis on it. (Do send more examples when you find them.)
On earmarks she's an even bigger crock. On the trail with McCain they're telling everyone that she's some kind of earmark slayer when actually, when she was mayor and governor, in both offices, she requested and got more earmarks than virtually any city or state in the country.

I have more sympathy for Tracy Flick. Besides, it was the teacher in that movie who was messed up, not the girl.
Sarah Palin is a brazen liar, and that's all I have to say about her.
Apparently she's being coached by Rove himself. Olbermann said Rove is on the campaign team and offering advice. No wonder the ads have gone to pure slime and sewage.
There's real irony in that, considering Rove's butt should really be in jail right now.
Either this will eventually catch up with them and Obama/Biden will be elected and actually assume office (since 2000, one has to be specific about the consequences of being elected), or else Palin will succeed in bamboozling everyone, and will one day become preznit herself. On that day, I shall launch the Project for a New American Location... for this one American, at least.
I'll be right behind you, Steve. Maybe you can get Texas to finally become a sovereign nation like it's always believed itself to be...
