Letterman's Top Ten List for Sarah Palin's Memoir
10. Close curtains so you don't get distracted by Russia
9. Increase vocabulary — use words like "slanket" 8. First buy yourself 100-grand worth of writing outfits 7. Don't write a word until the check clears 6. Limit yourself to one "you betcha" per chapter 5. You can never have enough stories about ice fishing or killing things with your bare hands 4. When in doubt, just type (wink) 3. Don't let writing cut into attending "Fire Letterman" rallies 2. Have a book translated for sale to European countries like London 1. "I'll try to find ya some tips and I'll bring 'em to ya!" I thought it was hilarious. MFS |

She gets a mention once in a while, but considering she basically tried to get the guy sacked, its hardly surprising he takes a shot at some of her stupider antics and its not like the other late night chat show hosts don't also use her stupidity in their monologues too.

Even George W. Bush (that's junior) thought she was a poor choice by McCain -- at least according to one of his former speechwriters. Supposedly GW thought she wasn't remotely qualified for the vice presidency.

If it makes you feel any better, it looks like we'll be getting our own imbecile soon. Looks like a guy called David Cameron will be our next PM. He is basically a puff of hot air in a suit who will make this country a laughing-stock when elected (rant over). |

I wonder how much Mr. Letterman is laughing this morning.
Karma works not only here in MR, but often in many places you would never expect. Be careful about having a malicious laugh at the expense of another. Life might just turn around and surprise you. |

According to today's publishing rumors, Palin's autobiography is giving Dan Brown's novel a serious run for preorder kingship.
What I find interesting is how many of the self-righteous speak with forked tongue: do as I want, not as I do. (After all, we did have a budget surplus January 1, 2000, and a record deficit January 1, 2009 -- all while under conservative watch.) Also, for those who are interested in the power of the right-wing media in the United States, there was an excellent op-ed piece in today's New York Times by David Brooks, a conservative columnist, dissecting the power of the Limbaughs and Becks. |

I admit that I will read her book if she dishes campaign dirt. Politics is a soap opera to me. |

Ironic isn't it!! You would have thought he and his staff would have found another target after the fiasco of attacking her daughter(s). They way he and others treated her family was disgraceful. If anyone had treated Chelsea Clinton that way, the media would have held them in contempt. I'm not a big Sarah Palin fan, but I don't think any politician's children should be dragged into the fray for any reason. Quote:
