Rest to follow.

Palin spoke with a snideness more at home in a catfight on Project Runway than a vice presidential acceptance speech. Fortunately, I suspect this will wind up being to her advantage. If allegations of an affair and other unseemly shenanigans prove true, her family is going to make for television’s most rivetingly nasty and bawdy reality show.

Tellingly, the image that lingers is not of Palin at all. It is her young daughter slathering the palm of her hand with spit and then smearing it on her baby brother’s head. Like her mommy’s speech, it was both cute and off-putting at the same time.

At first I thought the McCain/Palin ticket was just the "DoubleTalk Express" - now I know that they're real, they're evil and they're robots. Czechit: http://tinyurl.com/6ajcuk
