All that Palin bull about lawsuits is untrue. If Coleman can use campaign funds to pay for lawyers, so can Palin.

I don't care why she left, I'm just glad she's gone. Just a few hundred more to go. Republicans must go.

Cynthia Tucker hit the nail on the head. Petty and vindictive, good words to describe Palin since the beginning.

TMZ increasingly gets it right - whether they pay their sources or not, at least they're getting the right answers. Other news sources take note.

I hate to admit that I love TMZ. They usually break the story first and are accurate. Other sites rush to post something and then later have to back pedal or apologize. TMZ always nails whatever story they are after. Too bad they don't do more hard news.

It was hard to accept when the National Enquirer was the first to break the John Edwards affair and then TMZ also breaking and accurately reporting stories. I have had to re-think what was a tabloid and what wasn't.

I wish the Republicans, even Powell, would quit talking about "the huge national debt" as if one didn't exist before Barack Obama.

In fact, Reagan tripled or quadrupled the national debt, Clinton began paying it down, then Bush doubled it with his tax cuts for rich people while starting a war in Iraq (and screwing one up in Afghanistan). In fact, Cheney once defended it by saying "Reagan proved that a big increase in national debt has no real effect on the economy."

BHO was left in the position of doing nothing about an impending financial and economic collapse a la Herbert Hoover, or doing a stimulus plan like FDR and incurring more debt until the economy turns around.

Oh, yes. He could have given everybody huge tax cuts and further increased the national debt that W increased. And the trickle-down economic effect would have occurred about 5 years later, just like his 2001 tax cut.

And if anybody gives me the Republican mantra about Keynesian economics not working, I have a whole bunch of economic references about the Great Depression and it's economic programs for you.

two more words to describe palin's rhetoric ... divisive and inflammatory ... she is just terribly inept ... she is totally self serving and fake ... makes a complete fool of herself every time she opens her mouth!

"Powell added that he hasn't decided whether he will be supporting Obama for re-election in 2012." ~Politico
Better yet:

"Does Powell have any credibility left? After
Powell despicably used Sarah Palin as his excuse to vote black, rather than just plain honesty, Powell is now wavering.
Yeah he wanted a first black president (who didn't!) but for those who may come after Obama, Powell is worried that Obama is stereotyping blacks as: get the keys to WH, grab the gvt. plastic... and SPEND like its your mamma's credit card."~ Femisex.com
LMAO funny stuff

Ms. Tucker, how many Democrats you think need sucking it up? I do not agree with Palin. But all Democrat feminists can not stand Republican women. How many Republican women Tucker thinks highly of. Ms. Tucker does not have to agree with their policies, so they get personal attacks from her..

Did Boehner come straight from brunch? He sounds loaded on mimosas.

Powell sounds like a candidate of some sort - might he be eyeing a step into the R leadership breach, swaying some moderate minority votes back to the near-Right side of the aisle?

re Cynthia Tucker:

so that is it? don't complain about sexism? can The New York Times call Obama and have Tucker tell him to "Suck it UP!"
Obama bawled like a baby about the whiff of racism, real or imagined and the media had his back. Where is the media for women? Oh yes, sharpening their knives as they tell us it is gonna hurt real bad--Suck it up!
screw that. this woman has too much self-respect to deny sexism!
