Icantstandit-Icantstandit-Icantstandit. Sarah's almost here. OMG!
Tonight's the night that the Queen Tea Bagger, Sarah Palin, addresses the hive. News reports have indicated a high level of anticipation with some Baggers saying that they only came to see Palin and didn't care about Tea. I'm a little skeptical because the convention's web site still says there are tickets available. Maybe they just don't know how to update their site.

Perhaps the anticipation is really for the potential Queen fight. The Queen of the Birthers, Orly Taitz, showed up in Nashville today and word has it that the media fled in mortal fear of being smothered by her. Those brave enough to stick around are hoping to get a front row seat as the rival Queens battle for camera angles.
This morning featured a stem-winding oratory by Drudge-spawn, Andrew Breitbart. His rabid rant, complete with frothing and spittle, was a non-stop harangue directed at the press - who were dutifully covering the whole thing from the back of the room. Breitbart delivered one contrived applause line after another, and the audience did their part like the good Pavlovians they are.
Outside the convention hall there were demonstrators who alleged that the convention organizers had hijacked the Tea Party movement for their own greedy purposes. It's not likely they will be well received by the "establishment" Baggers. Especially after saying this:
"We don’t need Sarah Palin to be the face of our movement."
Uh oh. Sacrilege never goes down easy. Even conservative icon David Frum is less than enamored with the Baggers. he penned a column titled "Tea Party's Fifteen Minutes Are Up
Andrew Breitbart is introducing Palin. So far he has lauded her for being the first to talk about "death panels" and for referring to community organizers as thugs. Really? This what she should be hailed for? Lies and insults?
Sarah opens with the courageous twofer that she is "proud to be an American" and a birthday wish for Ronald Reagan.
Don't wear yourselves out people. Chris Wallace has Sarah for the full hour tomorrow Fox News Sunday.
[6:35pm PST] Is it just me, or she just spewing retreads from the 2008 campaign and Glenn Beck reruns? Didn't we already vote on this?
[6:48pm PST] Palin is taking questions submitted weeks ago and selected by the moderator (Judson Phillips). Apparently she can't take extemporaneous questions from the audience. I wonder if she got the questions beforehand.
[7:09pm PST] Wow. That was devoid of any substance. And wasn't the last question a repeat? I'll review the transcript later tonight or tomorrow. I'm sure that I missed some of the funniest stuff while I was laughing.
[7:22pm PST] Palin's platform: Divine Intervention. I just wrote an article about the similarities between the theocracy of Al Qaeda and Glenn Beck with quotes you probably couldn't tell apart.
