Levi confirms he is running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska and he’s ready to talk about his plans. On his intention to run for his hometown’s highest office, he says “It’s for real. I’m going to go there and do what I can. Obviously that’s where I grew up and that’s my home. It’s always going to be home to me. [My son] Tripp’s going to grow up there and I want to change a few things.”
[...] I do care and I do want to make a difference. Whether I win or not, I want Tripp to look up to me and see what I’ve done and be proud of his Dad.”
Cool. And what does the current mayor of Wasilla, Verne Rupright (good name), have to say about Levi’s mission to “change a few things”?
“Well, it is a little early to declare. Usually most wait until the year the seat is up. But since I am nearly old enough to be Levi’s grandfather I think it would be wise for him to get a high school diploma and keep his clothes on. The voters like that!”
I think Levi has a bright political future ahead of him with or without a diploma and pants. If Bush and Palin have proven anything, it’s that ownership of a fully functioning brain is not a prerequisite to reaching high office.
Go for it Levi because in the world of satirical political blogging, there can never be too many fools to mock.

Sometimes I actually feel sorry for Sarah Palin…not much though. Here’s the dingbat tweeting her disapproval of the proposed mosque being built two blocks from the 9/11 site.
Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn’t it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate
Someone must have pointed out that “refudiate” is not a word. She pulled the tweet and sent this one.
Peaceful New Yorkers, pls refute the Ground Zero mosque plan if you believe catastrophic pain caused @ Twin Towers site is too raw, too real.
Oops. “refute the Ground Zero mosque plan” is improper use of the word “refute”. Sarah tries again.
Peace-seeking Muslims pls understand. Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing
Damage done, the Brainless One then compounds the idiocy by comparing herself to the greatest writer the English language has known.
‘Refudiate,’ ‘misunderestimate,’ ‘wee-wee’d up.’ English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!’
Right, Sarah. In the same way that you and your hopeless followers celebrate stupidity every single time you open up your mouth.
As for the “healing” you claim you yearn for, give it a break. You and the political party you are a part of have done everything possible to prevent healing by demonizing Muslims and Islam. You use an entire people and their religion as a political tool to foster hate and fear because when you don’t have a single substantial idea to present to the country, then hate, fear and lies are your only hope.
Refudiate that moron.

Does anyone doubt that a Palin presidential nomination in 2012 would be anything less than a godsend for Dems? While the outcome would not be as one-sided as it was in ’84 when Walter Mondale lost 49 states to Reagan, there is little doubt that Republicans would be crushed at the polls.
If she did somehow [win the nomination], Democrats would spend most of the summer and fall of 2012 rubbing their eyes in disbelief at their good fortune… [A] ticket headed by Palin would be hard-pressed to break 40%. Palin as the nominee would probably make 2012 the most lopsided election victory for the incumbent President since 1984.
Like Mondale in ’84, she would represent to the general election audience of 2012 just about everything they’d rejected in 2008 (and 2006). In nominating her, Republicans would be saying to the country, “We have learned nothing these last four years. We have changed nothing.” Moreover, today’s GOP calls to mind the Democratic Party of ’82 and ’83: An aggrieved, resurgent base asserting itself after an electoral drubbing, believing with all its might that inevitable midterm blues facing the new president mean more than they actually do. That is the environment that produced Walter Mondale in 1984. And it’s the environment that could produce a similar debacle for Republicans in 2012.
So if one can dismiss Palin as a serious candidate in 2012, then who do Republicans have that could possibly prevent Dems from running ads asking Americans why they would ever want to return to a Bush era mentality? Bobby Jindal? Mitt Romney? Newt Gingrich? Tim Pawlenty?
And if a Republican candidate could somehow get over that Bush hurdle, they would then have to contend with teabaggers and other crazies on the right screaming out for a further radicalized party platform – one which would only further alienate independents and minorities.
Palin or not, I’d put my money on President Obama pulling it off in 2012. Right now, Republicans got nuttin’.

Curious minds want to know; did Sarah Palin get breast implants?
Nah, I don’t really care. What I find of greater interest is Palin’s comment over the hullabaloo.
“No, I have not had implants. A report like that is about as real and truthful as reports that [my husband] Todd and I are divorcing or that I bought a place in the Hamptons or that [my son] Trigg is not my own child.”
A number of responses quickly come to mind: ‘You lie! Release your medical records.’ or ‘Forget breast implants. Get a brain implant.’ but here is something out of the comment section which I thought was a better response to the Palin statement.
…or that the president was not born in this country or that the health bill advocated “death panels” or that the president “pals around with terrorists”
Nope, Sarah, this type of report is right up your alley.
Yes it is. She dishes out the crap with great ease but has a real problem accepting it in return. Typical trait found in all lame-brained simpletons.
