1. Damn right! What an incredible cretin--as is the woman who

promoted him...

Hah, I just noted that RamboLiberal used the same term. Cretin does perfectly fit him.

5. Ross is an absolute & complete lying republican slime bucket (as they all are) only Ross

was publicly candid and proud of his racism, hatred & lies (most republicans hide these same views they have but simply lie about it).

6. Yay for Alaskans!!!

No one deserves someone like him....

Kudos to the AK bloggers who kept the heat on SP and got/kept the guy's name/quotes/history "out there".


Maybe we can send Palin and our TX gov off on a one way cruise somewhere..they seem to be a match made in heaven.

7. Where's Waldo (Sarah)???

Is this the day she is off babling to anti-choice fanatics?

Because she didn't need to be in Juneau because there was nothing as important going on there?

Gotta love it. Yet. Also. Gotcha.

8. Palin was surprised:

"I believed I knew what Alaskans wanted when I selected an individual who is a strong backer of 2nd Amendment rights, a staunch supporter of the state Constitution and a defender of life,"

What a comedy.

It is so nice to see bi-partisanship

10. Yeah!!!!

I'm glad that sad excuse for humanity was swiftly and resoundingly rejected by the elected representatives of the people of Alaska. Maybe people are slowly beginning to realize all the hate from the right is just that, hate.

Unbelievable.
