“Sarah Palin went to a Yankees game yesterday. There was one awkward moment during the seventh-inning stretch: her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.” David Letterman, June 9, 2009

"The joke, really, in and of itself, can't be defended. I feel that I need to do the right thing here and apologize for having told that joke. It's not your fault that it was misunderstood. It's my fault that it was misunderstood." David Letterman, June 15, 2009

"Don't Retreat, Instead - RELOAD!"

Sarah Palin, March 23, 2010

"When I talk about 'Its not a time to retreat its a time to reload'--now media, try to get this right, OK?--that's not inciting violence. What it's doing is trying to inspire people to get involved in their local elections."

Sarah Palin, March 28, 2010

We are now approaching primary season. Filing deadlines are upon us, consultants are being hired, strategies are being mapped. In Republican primaries, candidates are trying to figure out how to appeal to the most conservative voters in the party. Those are the ones who will come out to vote and they are the ones who will volunteer. Those who want to win a competitive Republican primary may well want to have a visit or and endorsement from Sarah Palin or someone associated with teabaggers.

There are times that I find myself hoping that Sarah Palin runs for President. I imagine her at an actual news conference. I picture her debating President Obama. I see an enormous amount of Tina Fey.

Then I slap myself for two reasons: First, I think about the unthinkable. In addition, I think that Presidential elections are about a real debate with real candidates. We ought to hope for the very best Republican possible who can, with authority and ease, present Republican ideas and values. The election in 2012 should be a contest between the best and the best.

One of the most memorable and heartening lines of the Obama campaign was, "I know I haven't spent a lot of time learning the ways of Washington. But I've been there long enough to know that the ways of Washington must change."

He was absolutely right about that and the ways of Washington have not changed. Tonight we got a flavor of what is to come if the ways of Washington do not change.

According to my journalist friends from China, the Chinese Communist Party yesterday, through the Propaganda Department, issued warnings to all media outlets to not write anything about Google's decision to disregard censorship rules. It's likely (not certain) that Google's departure from the Chinese market is imminent, leaving China with Baidu as the only search engine.

The People's Daily (and it's International sister, The Global Times) has developed a spin that Google is leaving for business purposes. They further suggest that Google wants to save face by making some noise about censorship (which only prohibits pornography) and hacked emails (which happens all over the world every day).

Jim Bopp, Indiana member of the Republican National Committee is circulating the following test for candidates. If Bopp's concept is adopted, a candidate who fails more than three of these questions would not receive RNC funds for their campaign.

I began noticing it in 2007 when the Bush Administration made some very unpopular announcements right after Jon Stewart went on vacation. I think there were wiretap stories and maybe some torture things. But the one that really caught my attention was the timing of the announcement that Bush would commute Scooter Libby’s sentence.

Reading right wing blogs can be trying, so as a public service, I’m scanning some of them and reporting back some of the interesting and valuable things I learned.

Alaska needs to investigate the so-called "troopergate" allegations to get to the bottom of the case. Did Sarah Palin try to use her office to take care of a personal matter? I have nothing to add about the case because all we have right now are allegations and more facts need to come out.

Since John McCain no longer wants to answer tough questions from the media, maybe he will answer my question. OK. I'm not going to hold my breath. But here are my questions. I'd like to hear your's too.

According to Republican sources, Hurricane Gustov is an ideal way to demonstrate the basic difference between John McCain and George Bush. McCain is a conservative and believes in all of the Republican ideology, but unlike Bush, he will execute the Republican agenda with competence—not like the Michael Browns of the Bush Administration who were light on knowledge, experience and competence. No, John McCain will keep the ideology of small government that does big things cheaply and efficiently—just competently.
