Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You know, if they DID have a little "cover up" with Trig I really don't care. Plenty of families have done that and will continue to do so. I mean, in 2008 you'd hope this wouldn't be an issue anymore, but the fact is you're trying to protect the privacy of vulnerable people.

But if you go and run for national office you're disturbingly arrogant if you think you're going to get away with it. At that point you 'fess up and everyone understands.

(Yeah, it think its entirely possible this is just lie no. 2.)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I am going to say maybe its fair to question whether Sarah Palin is a big fat liar.

We already know this. She got busted for it in the precursor to Troopergate (said nobody was terminated where upon the terminatees produced letters stating "your employment is terminated") and in her first speeches with her statements about having turned down Federal funding for Ted Stevens' bridge.

This would be a much more explosive example, for sure.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think if I was an Alaskan, I would also be a bit put out about the take that Palin and her family are typical Alaskans. "We Alaskans. We kill moose. We eat of the mooseburger. We have lots of sex and make babies."

Someone made a little clip of Bullwinkle J. Moose speaking out against Palin. For her stance on abortion.

Cracked me up....

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just don't get how a large political campaign with an army of supposedly savvy PR people all got together and said, "Hey, let's hire the pretty lady with the intelligent design and the stupid!"

Seriously? I mean, you're running for president, you've hired assloads of handlers and such. And this happened? Seriously?

McCain is a maverick. Mavericks don't need all this sissy "vetting" crap. Mavericks make snap decisions, often when they're angry.

But seriously, it appears McCain did virtually no vetting of Palin....

Art Crawl!!!

McCain preferred to vet AFTER choosing.

Or that Maverick McCain wanted everyone chattering about inane crap instead of actual policy.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

There was the theory that she would decline during the convention and then ANYONE who gets picked after would look fantastic by comparison.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Seriously? I mean, you're running for president, you've hired assloads of handlers and such. And this happened? Seriously?

McCain wrapped up the nomination in February. He's had six months to make his decision.

And the McCain/Palin campaign has yet to comment about Palin's ties to the Alaskan Independence Party.

The McCain campaign has been hitting Obama about his lack of experience, and has also been making insinuations about his patriotism. And this is his choice to be VP?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Maybe he secretly wants to lose.
