Seems as though that pathetic psychopath Palin, completely unqualified to be anyone's VP, quotes racists. No wonder the Conservatives are excited over her. Sad.

I don't understand why this isn't the lead story on every newscast and front page.

Who IS this woman?!?!

So, where is the "reading list?" All I saw was a lame little paragraph with another Kennedy whining. Why is it they feel entitled to be relevant and suckle from the public teat for generations, all because two of their relatives were shot 40 years ago?

Well, hopefully it will be. It's not now because it's the Huffington Post and people discredit it. Hopefully RFK will make the rounds soon.

it's not the lead story because it's not a story.

Well because murder is illegal for one, and for another, being a racist is a bad thing these days.

It's fodder for the cannon. This book is the cannonball:

Palin pick means McCain is like Bush - Paul Begala - Politico.com

Ah, so anyone who's had a murder in their family needs to run for Congress and stay there for decades, bringing in their nephews and grand-nephews and kids and cousins because the American people need to pay them back and support them for generations and generations?

And using a quote about small towns doesn't a racist make. I'm still looking for the "reading list."

Pegler sounds like a lovely guy (not). But it's probably the speechwriter Matthew Scully that we can thank for the small town quote.

Where the bars are open until 5:00am
Palin likes to invoke the lovely lines of Pegler, a political columnist who built his reputation on investigating people in power. But in quoting his paean to small-town values, Palin leaves out that Pegler was an anti-Semite who, according to his 1969 obituary in The New York Times, wrote that he regretted that a bullet aimed at Franklin Roosevelt "hit the wrong man."
