“I think he diminished himself by even mentioning my name,"

31. If what you're saying is we should let people forget about Palin I disagree.

Not that we should go out of our way to belabor this, but when she continues to throw herself into the public debate I think Democrats should take the opportunity to remind voters that THIS was the person the Republican Party told us only four short years ago was the best qualified person in the nation to succeed an ill and elderly John McCain as commander-in-chief. This arrogant, bigoted, ignorant, self-absorbed clown, this shameless grifter, this shallow quitter, this whining narcissist, this dangerously uninformed, misinformed zealot was the person the GOP decided in all its wisdom was what the country needed in the midst of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

And after we remind them of all that, we say: If their judgement was so flawed then, what makes you think it's any better now?

Or, to paraphrase Bill Mauer, "We're supposed to believe Sarah Palin is the most ignorant idiot on earth, and that Paul Ryan is some kind of genius. And yet they agree on every single issue of substance?"

As long as half-governor Palin is willing to inject herself into the public dialogue, she's a gift that keeps on giving. But only as long as we tie her to the GOP, every chance we get.

Hell, far from having her disappear, I wish she'd run as a third party candidate. If the Obama people were as underhanded and Machiavellian as the GOP keeps saying, they would have found a way to intice her into such a ploy. Given what a narcissist she is, it wouldn't have been all that difficult.
