Ha! That's so dumb. Everyone knows that Paul Revere is famous for being the guy who demanded to see Crispus Attucks' birth certificate.

I like how she had him shooting off guns, never miss an opportunity to push the 2nd amendment.

She stays admirably on-message, even if she can't tell the difference between Paul Revere and Yosemite Sam.

John (Edwards), meet John (Ensign), your cellmate.

Good one.

It's not like Palin is out there blaming pollution on plants and trees, after all.

being stupid isn't as bad as lying, plus you acted as if Edwards was qualified to be President. I knew Palin was an idiot from the start.

He fathered a child out of wedlock, like Jefferson, and he cheated on his wife, like Clinton. He was just trying to follow in his predecessors' foot steps.

I didn't vote for Edwards before, so I'm not sure how I acted as if he was qualified to be President.

Now that he's been revealed as a liar, and Palin is revealed as stupid, who do you think will get more votes?

Okay, but did you ever see Edwards as a viable candidate? #rhetorical

Even I'm missing your point. did you know he was a philanderer? Had a child out of wedlock? had committed election fraud? Yeah, she was a slick plaintiff's lawyer and I wouldn't have touched him with Coltrane's 10 foot dick, but he appeared to be a much more intelligent* person than anyone currently in for the R's.

I think Romney is smart, but the Mo thing kills me.

it's what always happens- I simply made the joke he was wrong about facts, then Sidd picks up some weird spin and I stick around for that ride doing my best to respond. in this run, I was simply making the point that Edwards appears to be one dedicated liar, like to Nixon levels.

I think Romney is smart, but the Mo thing kills me.

anyone else hear his announcement as buried racism?

"when we elected Obama, we knew he was inexperienced, but we did what makes America great, we trust this "inexperienced" man..."

to me the "what makes America great" bit implies something other than "inexperienced" as to what it was about BO we gave the chance to.

He looked okay in the primiaries against Kerry, but I voted against him.

Now, when I say "he looked okay," I did not know he was a liar and a cheat. In contrast, people knew Palin was a moron when they flocked to vote for her, and they know it today. Is she viable in your party? 'Cause I don't think Edwards is in my party, now that we know what we know.
