@PhillyLass: God knows she isn't writing those books, she probably has approval rights for the things that go on TLC and on Fox News, it's all questions like "Governor Palin, do you think our government is getting too big under Barack Hussein Obama?"
I think we should give Sarah Palin a microphone, an unlimited amount of time to speak, and let her go at it. Every once in a while, someone could yell something like "Iran!" or "health care!" or "John McCain!" I'd love to see what madness comes out of her mouth.
@formerflautist: Well, there is no law that says that a company cannot discriminate based on size. First, this isn't state action; and second, being overweight is not (and will likely never be) a protected class.
I truly don't think Sarah Palin had that much influence in many elections. She came to WV to stump for Raese, but that nutty old bat lost pretty decisively. And she and Christine O'Donnell are basically twinsies.
I agree that we have a screwy system. But the victim doesn't have the right to a speedy trial (she's not even a party to the case). I also think it's difficult to force people to receive psychological help, especially someone like Mitchell, who seems to be an egomaniac who is not remorseful in the least and believes God condones his activities.
