		<description>Palin has apparently &lt;a href=&quot;http://adviceunasked.blogspot.com/2008/10/barracudas-smile.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;had extensive plastic surgery&lt;/a&gt; to create her look. Her younger self looked much like her daughters--a slightly plump, round-faced woman. This is someone who wants to play the role with her whole heart.</description>

		<description>The link at #11 posted by the Original Maverick is a must read! 
 
Although it&#039;s nothing new for most informed people, it is a nice compilation of facts that shows just how self serving and deceitful Mr.Country First really is. One item that was left out of the article was McNasty&#039;s recent involvement in facilitating an extremely lucrative land swap for one of his high rolling donor buddies. The crux of it was that it was an equal swap in so far as acre for acre —federal land for private land — But the market value per acre had a disparity in McNasty&#039;s buddy&#039;s favor of over a thousand times per acre. Worthless desert for prime government real estate swindled from the American people under the guise of just serving a constituent. The same game NcNasty played in just helping Charles Keating.</description>

		<description>I think Palin&#039;s folksy schtick is about as authentic as George Bush&#039;s Texas drawl. Both are weapons or personas, to be used as needed.

In the debate she tried to use it to turn a disadvantage - her utter inexperience - to an advantage. But she did it in such an over the top, earnestly ambitious way that was off putting to at least me.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Palin also draws on goofy neighbor characters from old situation comedies. &lt;/i&gt;

Love that.  I see no similarities with Marge Gunderson, except maybe that the VP debate inspired me to speak Marge&#039;s line: &quot;Oh, no... I just think I&#039;m gonna barf.&quot;

Sarah McPal-in&#039; Around With Secessionists was in my state last evening.  The GOP actually fears losing Omaha, Nebraska to Obama!  I avoided hearing her remarks, because I already know it consisted of false attacks.  Bring it on, unfunny comedic sidekick.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s some really good stuff for McCain to use to distract from the Keating Five. Read the article as Rolling Stone Magazine: http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/make_believe_maverick_the_real_john_mccain</description>

		<description>The key difference between Sarah Palin and Marge Gunderson is that the Gunderson character, like so many decent Americans, is not into lying and manipulation. Palin, however, fits the classic profile of so many ambitious and deceitful Republican leaders. Think of them: Richard Nixon, Oliver North, Lee Atwater, Newt Gingrich, Tom DeLay, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Paul Wolfowitz, Jack Abramoff, Ralph Reed, Grover Norquist, Pat Robertson, Douglas Feith, Karl Rove, Duke Cunningham, Alberto Gonzales, Scooter Libby and on and on and on. 

Neither Democrats nor Republicans are perfect, but our nation has been going down an increasingly darker road since January 1981. I&#039;m no fan of Reagan, but I am astounded by the scores of Republican leaders who felt Reagan didn&#039;t go far enough. How many now feel that George W. Bush didn&#039;t go far enough?

We can turn our nation around but only when enough people reject the kind of values that have dug our nation into the deepest hole we have seen in 75 years.</description>

		<description>Josh Marshall just linked to &lt;a href=&quot;http://keatingeconomics.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;KeatingEconomics.com&lt;/a&gt;.  Goes live tomorrow at noon, complete with a 13-minute documentary on McCain&#039;s part in the S&amp;L bailout scandal 20 years ago.

I had a feeling that once McCain decided to play hardball, Obama would respond in kind.  I&#039;ve been wondering for months why he hadn&#039;t played this card yet, and had concluded that he was saving it until the end of the campaign, if the need arose.  And here it is.  Things are gong to get interesting now.</description>
