Live Blogging Gov. Palin at Tea Party Convention

by Smitty Below is a sampling of the speech. Themes included Scott Brown as a Tea Party signal, the need for common-sense values, questions on national security and stimulus money. Broken promises. I thought it a solid effort. The critics are going to be all over the shrill voice, in their own shrill tones.

The Olbermann Rule

“Anything done by any Republican is a scandal, if I decide it is, because being a Republican is such an inherently shady choice to begin with, you just know they must be up to shenanigans.” Lefty journalists have operated by this principle for years now: “Hey, look, Joe Congressman (R-Somewhere) is on the banking committee and […]

Oh. My. God.

Just when you think Andrew Sullivan can’t possibly go further off the deep end, he manages to surprise you. When someone put this on Twitter — “Andrew Sullivan hits new low in attacking Palin” — I thought they were joking. Surely his new low couldn’t actually be lower than his old low? Foolish naivete!

Palinistas + Paulistas = Wow. The Kentucky primary is extremely bitter (53 […]

Sarah Palin’s PAC Raised More Than $2 Million in Its First 11 Months

Tommy at Conservatives For Palin has the details. Perhaps the most encouraging bits are that the PAC received contributions from 14,000 individuals: “Dollars were raised primarily on the Internet and small fundraisers; no direct mail.” Having a large number of small donors is very important to grassroots activism. Those $10 and $20 contributions have a way of adding […]

Feminists OK With Women in Panties Selling Beer. Pro-Life Ads? Not So Much

Sarah Palin nailed the National Organization of Women for trying to prevent CBS from airing a pro-life ad during the Super Bowl: “My message to these groups who are inexplicably offended by a pro-woman, pro-child, pro-life message airing during the Super Bowl: please concentrate on empowering women, help with efforts to prevent unexpected pregnancies, stay consistent […]

Conservative Lesbian Goes Austrian

Last week, Cynthia Yockey ordered two books by Hayek, two books by Mises and one book by Sarah Palin. Alaskans, Austrians, Lesbians, Cosmopolitans — who says the GOP doesn’t have diversity?
