Sarah Palin told reporters yesterday that she would heed a call from God
to run for president in 2012. And this time, she would be prepared for
the brutal ride. In the meantime, she'll be praying for God show her an
open door if a run for the White House is, indeed, His will.
One thing that might help? Father McCain has absolved her of any campaign sins, which may have led them down that most evil of paths, election night failure.
The GOP presidential candidate told Jay Leno last night that she did nothing to damage the ticket, rather, she inspired voters. Also, he's pretty much caught on that he's way too old for the job.
In her whirlwind damage control tour, she also told Matt Lauer yesterday that Katie Couric's questions were fair, just before mocking them. Then she says she reads the same stuff in Alaska that people read in New York. OK, then. Name something!
Political analyst Michael Barone claims he was honing his comedy chops when he told a roomful of pissy journalists that the liberal media mistreated Palin because she hadn't aborted Trig, the son who we all know was born with Down syndrome. He later apologized via email.
While we're on regrets, Bush, he's got a few. Interestingly, his regrets are bits and pieces of the last eight years. Not, you know, the entire thing. The short list: "Mission Accomplished," "Bring'em on," and "Dead or alive." We were thinking more, Donald Rumsfeld, Patriot Act, signing statements, torture.
At first blush, Bush's mortgage bailout appears to be too little and too late. Only hundreds of thousands of homeowners will get some relief (as opposed to millions) and this is all coming 15 months into a deepening mortgage crisis. But, you know, dump this on the other guy.
Last night Indiana University, today San Francisco ... it's the launch of John Edwards's comeback tour! He's also scheduled to debate Karl Rove at an upcoming bankers convention. Are we ready for this yet? Eh, what the hell (though we're kind of more interested in an Elizabeth Edwards vs. Rove thing).
Parents of teens are speaking out on Nebraska's liberal (but soon to change to very restrictive) safe haven law. Seems most agree that teens are a pain and they could use some help.
Eight people were arrested for allegedly shooting an Oklahoma woman at a KKK retreat in Louisiana.
This'll make you crap your pants: about 7,000 hospital patients on any given day has been infected by Clostridium difficile, a diarrhea bacteria that is increasingly common in hospitals. Only bleach kills it. And overuse of antibiotics may be to blame for it.
