This is precious.
Immediately after the election, a few networks ran with the story that McCain campaign workers were claiming that Sarah Palin did not know Africa was a continent, among other ludicrous claims. Turns out, MSMBC’s source for the claim was one Martin Eisenstadt.
Turns out, Martin Eisenstadt isn’t real. He’s a fictional character.
Some people were [...]

Realizing that her very public message that Democrats never had anything to do with the finance meltdown regardless of the fact their legislation and policies OBVIOUSLY caused it to the point even Bill Clinton personally accepted some blame, Nancy’s got a new gig:
“Elect us, hold us accountable, and make a judgment and then go from [...]

Sandra Bernhard had this to offer when defending her man, Obama:
“Now you got Uncle Women, like Sarah Palin, who jumps on the sh** and points her fingers at other women. Turncoat b****! Don’t you f*****’ reference Old Testament, b****!” Bernhardt said. “You stay with your new Goyish crappy shiksa funky bulls***! Don’t you touch my [...]

Given it’s opportunity to see a woman advance to the second most powerful position in the world, NOW punted. She’s not “woman” enough according to them. In reality, she’s not liberal enough for them. They didn’t even bother to fact-check their opinions, they had already made up their mind. Now, most people I’m sure had [...]

Matt Damon had this to say about this year’s election:
“It’s like a really bad Disney movie, “The Hockey Mom.’ Oh, I’m just a hockey mom from Alaska, and she’s president,” said Damon. “She’s facing down Vladimir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It’s absurd.”
Of course, Damon’s referring to the [...]

Now things are getting a bit nutty. For way too much money you can have your very own Sarah Palin action figure:

Oprah Winfrey has said she won’t allow Sarah Palin on her show until after the election. A lot of people are crying foul and threatening to boycott her show. Quite frankly, I think she’s making the best of the situation. Having Sarah on her show after publicly endorsing Obama is a no-win situation for both. [...]

A lot is being made over the Republicans, me included, complaining how biased the media has been. I could cite evidence all day and night if I felt like it. I’ll just cite a couple of quickies from my own observations in no particular order:
Sarah Palin has been scrutinized mercilessly, criticized, and editorialized relentlessly over [...]
