If I asked you what the biggest problem facing American politics is, what would you say? Would you say "a lack of civility"? If so, get excited, because, oh boy do I have a political movement for you!
That's right! If you genuinely believe that the number-one thing wrong with American political culture is "hyper-partisanship" and not, say, the fact that
one of the two major parties in this country
has spent the last ten or so years electing actual crazy people to Congress, you will be deeply excited to know that MSNBC host Joe
Scarborough and his deeply boring centrist friends—New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.), Sen. Joe Lieberman, (I-Conn.), former Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.), Rep. Chris Shays (R-Conn), ... (nods off)—are launching a "new national group dedicated to restoring civility in politics." Swoon! They had me at "Lieberman"!
Yes, "No Labels," (which was apparently launched last year? But is now being launched, also, next month? Get it together, centrists) which is the real name of this thing, is coming, and, according to Howard
Fineman, it's got "organizational ambition and big-buck backers."
So get ready! Because nothing says "change for the better" like assembling
a panel of unpopular former politicians to moan about how everyone ignored their technocratic center-right reform ideas, and nothing says "exciting" like "former New Jersey Governor Christie Todd Whitman."

These are media feuds that Sarah Palin has participated in from the last two years since she was launched from obscurity. It should be noted they are in no particular order. I’ve also omitted people who just flame her without her responding (e.g. Meghan McCain) but those are rare.
Quick math: there are around 60 in the last two years – roughly 29 months- that’s over two feuds a month. Every month.
