I had to laugh when I heard from an older friend that his 70-year-old lady friend, a retired nurse, said of Sarah Palin, “She’s a monster.” I haven’t seen Palin’s entire interview with Charlie Gibson, but I’ve seen enough to know we should be very scared of her. Listen to her dissemble, trying to back out of her assertion that our being in Iraq is a “task from God.” She was thinking like Lincoln?? Oh, puh-leez!

This is wrong.

Fannie and Freddie CEOs may collect millions
By Martha Graybow

NEW YORK (Reuters) – The top executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, both losing their jobs as part of a government bailout, may get multimillion-dollar payments from the mortgage finance companies upon their exits.

I am so fed up with executives walking away from their failures with millions of dollars. This is simply unfair. We need a serious attitude change in Washington, and I promise you that John McCain is not the man to deal with out of control executive compensation.

I’m amused by how Republicans insisted it’s the Democrats who made an issue of Bristol Palin’s pregnancy, which simply isn’t true. It’s yet another straw man they’ve set up to knock down.

The Daily Show’s Samantha Bee, mother of two, was at the RNC. She did the best job I have ever seen of getting average Republicans to consider the implications of saying that teen pregnancy is a private, family matter that shouldn’t be politicized.

“McCain tells cheering GOP he’ll change Washington”

I don’t get it. When you want change, you vote for the other party. That’s how it works. How can McCain say he’ll change Washington without repudiating Bush?
