He'll do what it takes to keep her from speaking extemporaneously anywhere near a microphone. Like Sullivan says—Palin is like Ricky Gervais sketch. You squirm, you wince, and you keep watching....

The McCain campaign forwarded private e-mails from Sullivan that WaPo printed.

So much for the evil liberals and their rumor mill.

Obviously a journalist would have asked for McCain's medical records in response to that whopper from the campaign, but I don't think it crossed the mind of a guy who's arguing that it's not fair 'at this stage of the game' to be asking about Trig. Fucking hack. WaPo can't stop embarassing itself.
