    Banging a broad that's had like 8 kids with names like Rope and Maple and Flax isn't that goddamned exciting anymore.

    Not sure I can write anything after Joe's Freakanomic's verified statement. Except to go to Flagg's persistent question. I don't think she did, and not because I don't think she couldn't, but rather it's not near the style she's written in the past. I think she may have contributed, been consulted, etc., but the WSJ wanted her name because none of us are going to plunk down cash money or Paypal to read what Obama, Romney or Mayor Rahm would write - and who'd believe them?

    I just think the smart ones don't become politicians any more.
    They'll end up running companies, paying both candidates fortunes to their campaigns, so if their gamble (got to maximize profit) fail - they'll get bailed out. It's the circle of life, like the lion king.

    So does Snooki, and she makes way more money than any of us. Palin will fade away, she was a gamble to pick that may have given a slight boost initially but as she became exposed to more media she was picked apart and opinions went from positive to negative to a ****ing joke. The reality is McCain would not have won no matter who he picked as his running mate, not even a zombie Ronnie Reagan would have worked.

    Ahh, I'm sorry. Only the current ones...Which it doesn't say anywhere in the article. Of course, she is not saying that. She is only quoting. Just helping a friend sell books? Like, she doesn't really think that? She is only the voice for Peter?

    I like your enthusiasm though. You are very persistent in your blindness to the fact that she got rich off her political status.
    What's the title of the article "How Congress Occupied Wall Street"" Politicians who arrive in Washington as men and women of modest mean leave as millionaires." Gee Mujo that pretty much sounds like the article is about folks going into Congress and using their position in office to get rich. You're the only one on here who doesn't see that so that means you get the Capt Clueless award.

    What political status? When she was governor of Alaska nobody ever heard of her in the lower 48 until McCain picked her. Nobody's courting her for the "massive influence and political power that she wields like a mighty scepter." Was she different than the other suits that had been flung on the people before? Yes and that's why people took interest in her. Political status?She has none. It was popularity status. Now some can say that both are the same but when it comes to politics she's a light weight.
    I just can't see her telling Putin or Iran to go pound sand like Reagan told Gorbachev about Star Wars.


    ....and now for the other shoe to drop...I was at the Orlando Barnes & Noble during her book signing tour. I thought she was a very pleasant person and seeing the very large orderly crowd that was there is can see why the dems were scared shipless of her.

    I can't stand her, but the Palin threads never fail to deliver:

    I'm with Joe - it would be like chucking a sausage down Oxford Street/a frank down Broadway...

    The bottom line is that nothing that gets published front and centre by one of the major media organisations is "written by x". x writes a draft, it's critoqued and edited and sent back to x (or someone else) for a polish/rewrite before its edited again. Then if it really is front and centre the big boss (and even the big, big boss) sticks their 2 cents in too...

    All that said, from the little I've bothered to watch of her interviews I don't think she had much more to do with it than allow WSJ to put her name at the bottom.

    That may be, but a hole's a hole, right? What if she does kegels...just for you?

    And either way, the bad hole is still good to go

    Always attempt to salvage the situation

    You don't see the irony of your statements there? Not at all? I guess I can't expect you to.

    On Topic:

    I doubt she wrote it.
