Anyone from the Democratic party appearing with Sarah Palin is not worth a damn.

No, I'm not opposed to an open, intelligent debate or intelligent discourse with the other side. It's just not possible to have that with Sarah Palin. So it's a waste of time a publicity stunt.

Ever since Brazile suggested she thought she could replace Hillary as the Democratic nominee I've pegged her as a delusional bullshit artist.

two ambulatory, morally corrupt self-destruct buttons trade their collections of "hit" lines from the past?

working people in the country, so maybe Brazile really needs the paycheck, and this is one way she can do it.

23. Some People Cannot Let Go of the Spotlight
Sun Sep 2, 2018, 04:25 PM
Sep 2018

I like Donna Brazile. However, things like this keep happening because some people cannot let go of the spotlight. It is very possible that both Brazile and Palin do not know how to live outside of the spotlight. Brazile has been in the spotlight for most of her life. For at least 30 years she has been at, or near the center of Democratic politics. It must be hard to one day find yourself out of the mix and out of the spotlight. Palin has not been in the spotlight that long, but clearly she loves the attention.

The Palin-Brazile thing shook this loose in my memory:

Ny Public Library ARCHIVES
Transmissions from The Timothy Leary Papers: A Buddy Film Starring Timothy Leary and G. Gordon Liddy
by Julia Lipkins
August 15, 2012
<snip>
By 1981, both Leary and Liddy had re-entered the public sphere as commentators on morning radio programs and talk shows. After their accidental reunion in Austin, Leary and Liddy decided to team-up as ideologues from opposite sides of the political spectrum; they embarked on a national tour of politically-themed debates, which would serve as the the basis for Return Engagement.

Throughout the film, Leary and Liddy tackle broad issues, such as national security and civil liberties, with provocative one-liners. "From time to time, for very good reason, this country engages in homicide," proclaims Liddy.[3] "Every state is a mafia… I love America — it's the greatest mafia of them all," cries Leary.[4]

While their rhetoric is acerbic, the relationship between Leary and Liddy is obviously good-natured. They laugh at each other's insults and banter about the events at Millbrook, like old friends reminiscing of youth.

I don't know what APB Inc is, this is the first time I've heard of Northwest Florida College

I figure just let it play out. If we hear nothing after about it, then it was truly C-list politicians reciting talking points. I really want to believe they'll find some spark of humanity and actually come out of it doing something useful together, and that's probably the only way we'll ever hear anything
