    Conservatives4Palin is redundant.

    I would like to believe that she would never get elected to another position after she quit being the governor of Alaska. She didn't even finish that job so who would elect her for another? I know better than to believe in common sense anymore. #sarahpalin

    As much as I loathe Palin, her followers frighten me more. They are ignorant, angry, hypocritical, racist, reactionary bigots who long for a more Patriarchal, "Christian" theocracy - and they vote. I'm also willing to bet that they are well-armed. I loathe Palin for tossing them their red meat, riling them up and giving their twisted world view legitimacy.

    Hortense, how did you know about my mom's Farmville plot being watered today?

    Also, I bet my mom's high score in Bejeweled Blitz blows Palin's out of the water. #sarahpalin

    "Amazingly, but not surprisingly, the AP somehow nabbed a copy of the book before it was released."

    It's called an advanced reader copy, idiot. *I* have gotten them and guess what, I don't work for a WORLDWIDE NEWS ORGANIZATION.

    Also, it's the Associated Press, they HAVE people covering all the things you've discussed and they're not the same people who would be covering your book. But hey, I always find it's REALLY smart to lash out at an enormous media outlet right before you do a huge press junket for your stupid book. Way to be a winner.

    Three good things about Palin's continued existence:

    1) It gives my mother-in-law something to talk about other than the lack of a grandchild in her life. As I have mentioned here before, she hates Palin with the fire of a thousand suns. Any conversation can be swiftly re-routed into OMIGOD WOLF KILLER HATE HATE HATE! with the slightest mention of her name. This is valuable stuff, people.

    2) She proves definitively that women can be just as dumb as men. Therefore, the reverse must also be true, right?

    3) She's keeping the right wing thoroughly distracted. You think they're going to come up with a viable candidate while she's winking and grinning at every red state Evangelical alive?

    That's all I got. I should also point out that my mother-in-law doesn't actually mention potential grandchildren all that often, so there isn't much need to drop a Palinade. #sarahpalin

    @la.donna.pietra: You're lucky. My m-i-l is a big fan of Palin. She thinks her entire family is a bunch of sexist bigots because we can't get together for dinner without it devolving into a Palin hatefest (all of us are anti-Palin except her). "Loving, Christian mother! Special needs child! She speaks her mind! She's a maverick! Women should support her!"

    She's coming to our house for Thanksgiving dinner. If I could gag her with food for the entire weekend, I would. #sarahpalin

    I learned today that my grandfather earned $4,000 selling burial plots on Craigslist. He has a few left -- maybe we could bury all the books in a random Jewish cemetery on Long Island? That would cancel out the book tour, right?

    @KatieBLV: My in-laws are right-wing nuts and they're coming for Thanksgiving dinner. We have two Obama campaign stickers on the fridge and the back door that I have told my husband will NOT come down, upon pain of death.

    We also have a sticker on the fridge depicting Bill Clinton in holy robes and a halo, from the 2004 election when we hoped St. Bill would give Kerry a boost. My m-i-l was pissed when she saw it two years ago and told us it was sacreligeous. It's still up and it's staying there.

    I'm about to go buy a bunch of rainbow flags and peace signs to decorate the guest room. #sarahpalin
