Send This Commenter Some Flowers

Just read an average, run-of-the-mill campaign story about Sarah Palin visiting Nebraska to try and drum up some voters, which shouldn't be too hard in a red state. Piece was fine, not too exciting, etc. But I liked the comment response.

The story had 517, and nearly every single one of them skewed blue. Here's a sampling:

"My son, a 6th grader, was laughing when he listened to Sarah Palin's answer about the newspaper."

"The McCain/Palin events are starting to look and sound more and more like Klan rallies. All McCain needs is a white sheet and a pointy hat. Palin already has a pointy hat—a dunce cap that is." (Okay, this one is ridic but hilar.)

"Does anyone imagine a Sarah Palin would have actually earned the nomination of the Republican Party had she run with the rest of the pack? How John McCain could have risked the security of America and the world with such a brazen and reckless mind as hers is bewildering and beyond comprehension."

"Three days of negative attack on Obama and the polls are going up for him. What does moosemama have to say about that?"

"John McCain is behaving like a trigger happy soldier."

"I don't know why so many are criticizing Sarah Palin. After all, this chick has helped the OBAMA ticket pretty well. Send the lady some flowers!"

"I would be willing to bet the farm McSame didn't know Palin had a pregnant teenage daughter or son who was constantly in trouble . . . The reason we are not reading about Biden in the paper is because he was thoroughly vetted. All we have is that he used someone elses words once and didn't footnote it. That is not interesting enough to read in the National Enquirer."

"Too bad McCain didn't chose a woman with a measurable IQ."

"Vote for the guy with one house."

"You lost this election McBush and that country bumpkin sidekick of yours. Even I don't sound like that and I'm from Texas."
