Sarah Palin is gold for Democrats. Strike that…she’s platinum. She is the absolute most valuable asset the Democrats have against Republicans. She’s worth far more to us than Rush or Dick or Steele or Newt. In fact, the only Republican on earth who is worth more is George Bush, but he’s apparently gone into witness protection since the election. Every time Sarah Palin opens her mouth, either something stupid comes out or something hilarious ensues. Platinum.

When John McCain picked this unqualified idiot for vice president he virtually conceded the presidency to Barack Obama. I will be eternally grateful to John McCain for that. Conservatives love Sarah Palin. Infatuated is probably a better term. So much so that they believe this weird mythology about her. That she is a fiscal champion (even though as mayor of Wasilla she left the town 20 million dollars in debt). That she fights government waste (she actively supported the “Bridge to Nowhere”, then flip-flopped, then took the government money anyway). That she is the very definition of ethics (she was found guilty of abuse of power in the Troopergate scandal by a Republican dominated committee). She’s been a complete fraud from the beginning and even Alaskans have taken notice as her approval rating has plummeted 30 points in the past few months. But now the freakshow has gotten even better

Palin has quit.

Rush Limbaugh tried to capitalize on the death of Michael Jackson by making the ridiculous statement that Michael Jackson’s success was directly related to the success of Ronald Reagan. He even went so far as to say that he “languished” under Bush 41 and Clinton and “died under Obama”. Now the stupidity of a statement like that could be dissected every which way, but I would argue strongly that Michael Jackson was never not a huge success story. And his success certainly had nothing to do with a particular president.

This past week, Rush Limbaugh not only called Sonia Sotomayor a racist, but impugned the entire Democratic party for  supporting her and for nominating her in the first place. On top of that he said she’d be a complete failure and a total “disaster”.  He even compared her to David Duke, which is ironic considering his next comment.

Today, Rush Limbaugh says he could support the nomination if Sotomayor would overturn Roe v. Wade.

So from Rush Limbaugh’s perspective, he would knowingly put someone he believed to be an unqualified racist to a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court if that supposed unqualified racist voted the way he wanted them to do, in this case, overturn Roe v. Wade.

Which means… using his own logic, Rush Limbaugh would support David Duke for the Supreme Court.
