Great teaser, Kevin. If you'd said Palin Lite I would have thought you were talkin' 'bout her brain there...

This obsessive, lame and gratuitous Palin bashing does seem to indicate (besides not much ability to use humor) that these guys may have a bit of Gynophobia caused by women with independent (different from their) political views.
"Making" governor in this day and age has much more to do with ambition than smarts, and you should know it. George W. Bush made governor. He's also made our country an objectively far worse place. There's nothing obsessive, lame, gratuitous or gynophobic (nice try though) about doing as much as humanly possible to keep another incompetent ideologue from doing the same. Why, had the phrase not already been fallowed by Bush and John "Let the Eagle Soar" Ashcroft, you might even call it a patriot act.
