Palin Email's

This whole scale attack on Palin's emails if quite funny. It certainly proves the bias of the media today. When did they jump all over Obama's emails when he was in office? Oh, never..... Funny as hell and completely reinforces what we have known all along about the media.

Palin isn't in office.
When Obama's emails from when he was in office are released, they will be jumped all over.

Perhaps, just perhaps, thats because they haven't been hacked and released?
Another alternative: they aren't interesting or shocking.
The bias of the media? You mean their bias to sensationalize any trite information they can in order to get/keep the public's attention?

Arnold had an extra marital affair, and a secret child, for 10 fucking years. Are we hearing about that? Not so much, we're hearing about a few smut pics taken by a Dem congress person. Which, at least for most regular dwellers, you're being pretty fucking hypocritical if you're gonna complain about smut pictures shared with interweb friends.

Palin is no longer a politician. She ceased being someone anyone had to take seriously the moment she left office 2 years early and signed up to be the subject of a "reality" show. She's a "celebrity commodity"; she asked the public to consume her "product" and they are.

I'm sure that any and all publicity Palin gets is exactly what she wants.

Palin is brilliant. She's an absolute genius that puts Howard Stern to shame. She's combined attention whoring with politics, to create a money harvesting machine that would do Silas McCormick proud.

Of course she should never hold public office.

The Palin machine operates on the energy created by the anger of the left, and earns her $12 million per year.

She doesn't anger me (well, not anymore :p

but she does entertain the hell outta me.

The guy who coined 'bread and circuses' had Ms. Palin in mind.

And good for her, if she can live with herself why do I care?

Still, she pukens me, and stands for pretty much everything I find appalling in human nature.

Meh, bet she never worries about her car payment.

But payment in HELL? That's gonna smart.

Did you hear about Palin and Thatcher?
Made me snigger.

Not a joke - a reported state of affairs where Thatch refused to see Palin (who cites her as an influence) because she is "nuts".

Can't say if it's true or not - might have been debunked since I heard it - but funny nonetheless.

When the Governor told reporters that she would like to meet the Prime Minister during her world tour next month, a Thatcher aide reportedly said, “Lady Thatcher will not be seeing Sarah Palin. That would be belittling for Margaret. Sarah Palin is nuts.”

That kind of phrase is liable to cause concern in my part of the country :P

I'm culturally inept: in what way would it cause concern?

Note it was Thatcher's aide who said that, not Thatcher. The way the aide said "That would be belittling for Margaret" makes me think Thatcher's capacities may have dimished to the point where visitors speak at her not with her?
