Palin gets mavrique – c’est pa?

I don’t know how to speak French. Apparently, neither does Sarah Palin. But I don’t think I’d fall for a prank phone call from “the French President.”

Joe the Plumber, Alaskan, Veteran. . .

There’s no stopping Sarah Palin. Today she claimed good ol’ Joe is a


“fellow Alaska[n], and he’s a fellow military man who has served our country proudly”

He did live in Alaska for four years, but never served in the military. Just six more days. I wonder how she’ll describe Joe then? My prediction: answer to a future Trivial Pursuit question.

Oh crap. Palin’s personal shopper is. . .


. . . a republican operative named Jeff Larson. For the record, I, Jeff Larsen, have never met Sarah Palin, nor have I shopped for women’s clothes (or any other) at Saks, Bloomingdales, or Needless Markups.

Dressing Up Caribou Barbie

It seems that dressing Sarah Palin and family is an expensive endeavor. The RNC spent over $150,000 in September for clothes and hairdos. Doesn’t look they got Todd a new goatee trimmer, though. 

Makes me long for the days when we griped about John Edwards’ $400 haircut.

Keepin’ it real in Wasilla

Who dares show us the real Wasilla? Why, The Daily Show, of course:

Please note: these Alaskans do not reflect, in any way, my cousin Gary and his family, who live waaaaay up north.

Was picking Palin a cold, calculated choice?

Why don’t we ask John McCain:
