    Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

    -Napoleon Bonaparte

    If you guys on the left want to think of Palin as an airhead, while at the same time bowing at the alter of Nancy Pelosi, go ahead. Knock yourselves out.

    If you think that most Americans are going to follow you along that path, feel free to lead the way.

    Excon's right: love her or hate her, she's a force to be reckoned with. Dismiss her as a "lightweight" at your own peril.

    Do I think she's ready for the Presidency? No, I don't. But I think she'd be perfect for the Veep spot.

    Wow, just because she's a woman? Grow up and give Wondergirl more credit than that.

    If he doesn't like then don't buy the magazine. But don't come here trying to tell them not to do what he does.

    It's almost as if he wants censorship to protect his side only. Can't the people decide what's appropriate or not? I'll leave you back to your love of tom. :)

    I don't want any censorship . But I'm pretty sure that they violated the contract agreement between the photographer (or whoever gave them the photo) and the magazine.

    As usual you are inflating a minor point to deflect and in the process bringing little substance to the discussion .

    Until you read the book you won't know if there is any substantial policy discussion in it .Will you ?

    What did I say to make you think that? She is a very pretty woman, her biggest asset -- easy on the eyes with an engaging, honest smile. Nothing wrong with that. It's what's under her hair inside her head that concerns me. Heck, I'd vote for her for president if she had her political act together.

    Um, we've had it for a while at the library -- advance copies not to be put out on the public shelf until the release date.

    Assuming you've read it then are you saying there is no substantial policy positions articulated in the book ? I've heard differently .

    What is a "substantial policy position"?

    How patronizing. Heck, I'd vote for Barack if there was anything inside his head that made sense, not to mention getting his political act together. Wow.

    No you wouldn't. But the majority of the voters obviously felt otherwise. You'll just have to keep posting your bitter threads for the next four years :)

    MY BOOK REPORT: To find out if there are policy discussions, you'll have to read the book yourself.

    No, I won't be reading her book. If the Republican party wants to regain credibility, they won't give her the nomination. My dream ticket would be Ron Paul for president and Mitt Romney for vice president. I know Ron Paul is too far outside of the mainstream to get the nomination so I think the best realistic ticket would be Mitt Romney for president and Rudy Giuliani for vice president.

    I'm a registered Republican and sometimes have even voted that way...

    You must know I voted for Barack because of his white teeth.

    You so smart, NK: midterms next year; hear of 'em? And, how many years? Perhaps Bo may not even be on the Democrat ticket; you ever heard of that happening?

    I believe you are a very compassionate human being; unfortunately, Obama was the recipient.

    Bo must be getting some pretty special dog food if you think he might make the Dem ticket.

    His term has three years; the evaluation of his performance begins in a scant two; I can hardly wait.
