Top article! The point made towards the end is something that has been circulating in my mind for the last couple of days …

That’s why the Palin choice was brilliant politics — not because it rallied the G.O.P.’s shrinking religious-right base. America loves nothing more than a new celebrity face, and the talking heads marched in lock step last week to proclaim her a star. Palin is a high-energy distraction from the top of the ticket, even if the provenance of her stardom is in itself a reflection of exactly what’s frightening about the top of the ticket.

I remember when every day was another McCain gaff and I think Frank Rich is on the button – Palin takes away the focus from the old white wrinkly guy.

I hope they don't change it before you see it. It shows the difference between Bush and McCain. It ends up with McCain and Kerry. http://www.thedailyshow.com/ This is absolutely brilliant.

That's why pointing out the "glaringly obvious" is sadly not very relevant. Wearing a Tiepin on the other hand is. Thomas P -
