Is there really any reason for anybody to get all worked up over Sarah Palin one way or another? She's not running for POTUS.

Actually she is running for prez when you consider the fact that McSame has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.

Palin was intended as a distraction and a way to fire up the Republican base. But, McCain would be the oldest person ever elected and has had cancer (twice, if I remember correctly). The scary thing is that she could become pres. She's already lied repeatedly about The Bridge, troopergate and earmarks. She's a creationist who believes dinosaurs and humans walked the Earth at the same time. She's against a woman's right to choose and sex ed. She believes this is the 'end times' - "'Yes, I think I will see Jesus come back to earth in my lifetime." She's shown a Bush-like capacity for secrecy and appointing totally unqualified people to important govt posts. And she wanted to ban the book 'Pastor, I Am Gay" from the Wasilla Public Library. She's a nightmare waiting to become reality.

Here's an article about Rev. Howard Bess, who wrote the book and has had numerous skirmishes with Palin on other issues as well:

True, but let's not forget that in addition to that the Religious Wrong made it clear that they wouldn't tolerate Ridge or Lieberman because of their pro-choice stances in the past.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (CNN) -- Aides to Gov. Sarah Palin won't comply with subpoenas issued by state lawmakers investigating the firing of Alaska's former public safety commissioner because Palin "has declined to participate" in the probe, her attorney general says.

Gov. Sarah Palin has refused to cooperate with an inquiry into the firing of her public safety commissioner.

"As state employees, our clients have taken an oath to uphold the Alaska Constitution, and for that reason, they respect the Legislature's desire to carry out an investigation in support of its lawmaking powers," Attorney General Talis Colberg, a Palin appointee, told the investigation's manager in a letter released Wednesday.

"However, our clients are also loyal employees subject to the supervision of the governor."

The chairman of the bipartisan panel that commissioned the probe said Colberg is breaking an agreement his office made a week ago.

"I feel like Charlie Brown after Lucy moved the football," state Sen. Kim Elton, the Democratic chairman of the state Legislative Council, wrote back to Colberg.

Palin once pledged to cooperate with the state Legislature's investigation into the July firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. After his dismissal, Monegan accused Palin of trying to pressure him into firing her ex-brother-in-law, a state trooper who had been involved in an acrimonious divorce from the governor's sister.

Kathleen Parker in the conservative National Review says it's time for Palin to go:

"It was fun while it lasted."
"My cringe reflex is exhausted."
"If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself."
"If Palin were a man, we’d all be guffawing, just as we do every time Joe Biden tickles the back of his throat with his toes. But because she’s a woman — and the first ever on a Republican presidential ticket — we are reluctant to say what is painfully true."
"Only Palin can save McCain, her party, and the country she loves. She can bow out for personal reasons, perhaps because she wants to spend more time with her newborn. No one would criticize a mother who puts her family first."

Did you see that clip of her in church being prayed over for demons or some such nonsense? It was on MSNBC I believe...and the Katie Couric interview...could Palin be any more clueless?

That's 4 times he's had cancer.
