ABC has released some transcripts of clips of Charlie Gibson’s interview with Sarah Palin: Clip 1: GIBSON: Governor, let me start by asking you a question that I asked John McCain about you, and it is really the central question. Can you look the country in the eye and say “I have the experience and […]

Shorter Verbatim Camille Paglia: Sarah Palin has “made the biggest step forward in feminism since Madonna channeled the dominatrix persona of high-glam Marlene Dietrich and rammed pro-sex, pro-b
For starters, I’ll simply vow that if the essence of this campaign distills down to earmarks — and if that becomes the McCain-Palin route to victory — I will join the Alaska Independ
Jesus, make it stop: More than 40 million people tuned in last week to listen to the speech from Palin, the 44-year-old, first-term governor whom McCain announced as his surprise vice presidential pick just days before.

I give you Wasilla during “The Sarah Years.” Ari asks the appropriate rhetorical question: What is there to say about a politician who believes that government should be big enough to prov
Oh, sure, it’s been done on American blogs too. But “decent” uber-wanker Nick Cohen gives us the full Republican-ressentiment script. Claim: “On the other, liberal journalists turned [Palin’s] family into an object of sexual disgust: inbred rednecks who had stumbled out of Deliverance.” Omitted: a single name or concrete example. Presumed reason: some Guy With […]
And P.T Barnum. For several weeks the McCain campaign has been running this ad pretty much non-stop in Colorado. Today we got this: COLORADO SPRINGS — The banners, buttons and signs say McCain-Palin
Steve M. says just about all that needs to be said about this piece in the Times, wherein we learn that throughout her adult life, Sarah Palin has been distinguished among other things — wait fo
