Clear the area, we have a fresh deluge of Palin info coming our way -- most of it straight from her lipsticked mouth (fine, via People magazine).
But first, a follow-up to yesterday's big makeover reveal, when we learned the devil-hater wears Prada (and Escada! And whatever else comes from Saks, Barneys and Neiman-Marcus). Some of those who paid for those clothes -- GOP donors -- hope a shirt or two are still unwashed and with tags. Because they want their money back.
Others are all for the new clothes, basically arguing our point (in comments from yesterday) that her look and appearance are a significant part of her appeal (we're not saying it's right, we're just saying it's so). Palin's aides are also defending another of yesterday's Daily Palin-isms, charging the state for her travel.
Let's move on to the new stuff:
Palin calls herself an intellectual and says she's up on current events.
She says she's "voracious reader," and likes autobiographies, "historical pieces, anything and everything."
She reads books about sled dog races by Alaska natives to her kids. That and nursery rhymes.
Five is enough in terms of kids, but she regrets that means never having a son named "Zamboni." (Bristol? Are you taking suggestions?)
Speaking of Bristol, she's a smart girl, according to mom, who hopes her girl will marry before next summer.
And more, much more.
Palin's interview with Evangelical leader Dr. James Dobson revealed a certain lack of current events knowledge regarding her running mate's stance on stem-cell research, constitutional bans on gay marriage and other favorite topics for conservatives. Which is a little long and winding for straight talk expressed.
Last bit of Daily Palin, the candidate says her medical records are set to be released and will show she's had five kids and no major illnesses. Please, oh, please don't let the idiot boy bloggers dig deep into pap results.
Also released to the public are 4 minutes and 33 seconds of an interview with John McCain when he was a POW. The video, from a French TV archive, are the fullest distribution of this particular interview.
Apparently, Al Qaida is not only glad McCain survived the ordeal some 40 years ago, but they're really rooting for him to win the election. They think he's a great recruiting tool. Richard Clarke explains.
The Dow totally sunk again yesterday as the rest of the world gets a grip on reality and the coming recession. The good news? AIG says it will suspend millions in executive payouts. No, they didn't come to this voluntarily. They're getting spanked a ton by the New York attorney general.
Early alert for Santa! Some toys containing banned plastics are still being sold.
And 50 students at a high school in St. Louis will get tested for HIV after having possibly been exposed to the virus. Exposure came via sexual activity, tattoos and piercings. Officials aren't saying whether the infected person was a student.
