(sigh) it’s probably better to say something like this than let some little dork named Elwyn Tinklenberg gain advantage. Even though I see nothing wrong with what either Palin or Bachman said.

Actually, with that spoof that Tina did... she inadvertently may have helped McCain/Palin ... and with the highest ratings in 14 years for SNL... that doen't hurt either.

I think the American parts should spin-off the Leftist parts into a new socialist country. We'd have our culture back and the Left can roll in Utopian delight until they go broke. Then, Europe can bail them out.

This is probably the only time I will ever disagree with my heroine... but she should NOT have apologized for speaking the truth.

“Why do the ‘RATS have a problem with this?”

Of course it is true - you are stuned because you value truth. Forget it for a second, and you will understand that a liberal (sans truth) has an ordinal worldview, with a defined set, but no universal measure. Thus to assign value, to admit a universal measure, as the Governor did, is an absolute affront to the way things must be (less dissonance creeps into the mind). The added insult was that on this transcendent measuring rod, liberals are of a lower order than traditional Americans.

Once the liberal mind is understood for the shrill cacophony that it is, you too can partake in the sheer joy of insulting them with the greatest of ease.

I site the row we heard recently of “black holes,” and my personal favorite, niggardly.

even as similar comments by two Republican congressmen were causing a backlash that threatened their chances for reelection....

Hey Washington Post, don't forget Murtha. Remember, he's a democrat and the backlash to his statements definitely threatens his chance at reelection. Of course, we understand why you don't mention him.

Uh, Bachmann is not a congressman. She’s female. That makes her a congresswoman.

Yes, because while nothing Obama and Biden says matters, we can’t have people talking about the “real America”, that’s just racist.

Meanwhile I’m still trying to figure out where the actual dividing line is for Eastern vs Western PA where according to Murtha all the racists, er.. rednecks live.

I know I’m in the part where we all cling to our guns and religion and antipathy towards people who call us racists and gun-nuts.

Gag - if the metrosexual blue-staters get their panties in a wad over that comment, they should be forced to sit and watch the SNL NYT skit 10 times to see what she meant.

"real America"

The issue is not just about who are the real Americans and who are the anti-Americans.

It is also about who are the "True Conservatives".

The self-annointed "True Conservatives and Real Americans" hate the RINOs more than they hate the anti-American democrats.
