This is a great article...

Some highlights:
The Alaskan Welfare Queens:
Quote: | "As a former governor of a state that receives about $14,000
in federal money per resident (only the District of Columbia gets
more) and whose total spending increased 16 percent between 2007
and 2009, she is not very credible as a fiscal conservative." |
I guess Obama is not the only one with "fainters" & giving people "tingly legs":
Quote: | Watching last year’s vice presidential debate, National Review’s Rich Lowry squealed that Palin’s smile “sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. |
Honest Sarah:
Quote: | Palin’s penchant for shading the truth, even on trivial matters, didn’t help. One of the governor’s biggest applause lines on the stump was that she had said “thanks, but no thanks” to federal money for the notorious “bridge to nowhere” at Gravina Island. In fact, Palin supported the project until it became controversial and, after it was killed, refused to return the federal funds, using them to construct what Conroy and Walshe call a “road to nowhere” leading to where the bridge would have been. To paraphrase another of her regular lines, that’s absolutely politics as usual. |
