Ahhh, well, that's where her honor belongs: on Fox with all the other folks who don't bother with facts and just spout whatever they feel like saying. You know, "The Truth".
I feel like the description of her job on Fox - host of an occasional special series of varying length - is very similar to how she approached the governorship of Alaska.
Ahh, posted too soon. She's going to be on Larry King tonight talking about the conspiracy that got Obama elected. She's going to be talking about, you know, "The Truth".
BUT THAT'S WHY I LOVE HER!! SHE'S JUST LIKE ME!!!
GRRR....
Does anyone else ever notice that the word verification letters are oddly apropos? This one says 'goved'. It's like something a Sarah Palin follower would say, "She goved Alaska". Past tense of govern.
She did gov Alaska, Rebecca. And now she'll gov or fox on fox. She's hilarious. I can't get enough of her...sort of.
Yes Mary, she is JUST like you.
Oh John...the things we will watch her say and do!
Think of all the fun you'll have compiling a new list... She's a walking mess...
