• Letterman/Palin: dull meets dumb. Offensive in parts, nothing to do with this blog. I don’t like Letterman. There’s a lot to like about Palin: for example her looks and her frontier-sized lust for life that makes her even sexier. I wish her nothing but good. But I’d never vote for her. As a friend of the blog has rightly said she’s ‘woefully unqualified’ regardless of her political positions and from the account I’ve read of her incompetence in Wasilla, like Letterman (in this case because of her beauty?) she has a bit of the smug bully in her character. I wonder if, based upon her remarks about the disabled, Mercer does as well.
