When I got this letter enclosing 20 some business cards from a St. Paul bail bond company about three weeks before the Republican National Convention, to give to members of my peace group, I couldn’t believe it. As a retired FBI agent and former FBI legal counsel who also knew the non-violent composition of the protest and peace groups that were organizing the various marches, rallies, concerts, picnics and “unconventional” artistic events during the RNC, I wasn’t very worried about police brutality or jail.

At last night’s Broadway opening of Billy Elliot, Rosie O’Donnell spoke out to “Extra” for the first time since Barack Obama was elected president - expressing her excitement about his historic win and even praising the woman who could have been vice president. Admitting she’d like to meet Governor Sarah Palin, O’Donnell comments, “I’d like to have a beer with her. I’d like to meet her kids. She seems like a pretty nice woman. Although I have to say, I am thrilled her party did not win.

Pretty please, Sarah? Per Jason Linkins and The Huffington Post:

Sarah Palin is fond of saying the media get their facts wrong. She often accuses the media of being biased against her. “Why didn’t they just check with me first?” is a familiar refrain. Well, now we have the answer - because if they check with you, you’re going to give them answers that don’t match the facts. The video below is a small example, but it is indicative of how little preparation she goes through and how little regard she has for checking the facts.

Sarah Palin sat down with Fox News’ Greta van Susteren to discuss the 2008 campaign and her political future. One thing that stood out was this shot at bloggers:
The governor also lashed out at bloggers “sitting in their parents’ basement, wearing their pajamas” for some of the questions that were raised about her record and credibility. She was particularly incensed at the questions that were floated about whether or not she was the mother of her youngest son, Trig.

A former campaign adviser to John McCain named Martin Eisenstadt has outed himself as the proud source of the Sarah Palin “doesn’t know Africa is a continent” story. The New Republic and MSNBC have picked up the scoop. But it’s not at all clear that Eisenstadt exists. William K. Wolfrum of Shakespeare’s Sister, who was suckered by Eisenstadt during the campaign, did some digging and concluded , “There is no M. Thomas Eisenstadt. There is no Eisenstadt Group. There is no Harding Institute for Freedom and Democracy. M.

Sure it was a landslide as far as the electoral map goes, but did we actually come kind of close to having this woman one heartbeat away from the White House? Carl Cameron of Fox News reported in detail of the frightening behavior, and lack of knowledge that Sarah Palin contributed to the McCain campaign.

Sarah Palin voted in Alaska this morning, and when asked who she voted for, she refused to answer, stating her right to privacy. Obviously, we know who she voted for. But, maybe she actually believes we don’t know who got her vote. Did Sarah Palin vote for Barack Obama? Or maybe Bob Barr? Maybe she thinks that she wasn’t allowed to vote for McCain? Who knows what is going on in that little head of hers. Video below via YouTube: Or did she write herself in? Wouldn’t surprise anyone, would it?
