"Ready, shoot, aim"

Though many have said it, Billmon says it best: (my highlight)

When I suggested a couple of diaries ago that the best course for the Democrats might be to simply wait and see what shakes out of Palin's Alaskan tree, I had no idea so many things would start falling out of it so quickly. But I'm glad to see Obama come out and warn his troops away from the really personal stuff. It's already clear that Palin offers an embarrassment of riches for the Obama campaign, and a wealth of embarrassments for McCain's. There's no need to get greedy -- or cruel and vindictive, which is the one thing that could cause this whole feeding frenzy to circle back and start munching on the Democrats. McCain's people wanted to toss the pregnancy story into Hurricane Gustav? Good. Let it be buried in the muck.

I don't see anything wrong with pointing out the facts. How's that cruel or vindictive?

So do you think the McCainanites will replace her soon? Either way they are screwed.

Well, it would be cruel and vindictive if it came from the Obama camp right now... I see nothing wrong with stirring the pot or shaking the trees in a couple of weeks if the media hasn't eaten her for lunch... much like they tried to do with Obama.

The way it's going... she is turning out to be the gift that keeps on giving.

Truth or facts, you know the Rovian narrative will not play in the media. No matter what this has been the fundies pick...
