Palin. Hannity tends to say uninformed and outrageous things. If he blurts out something especially egregious and Gov. Palin fails to oppose or correct him, she will appear to agree with him. Worth watching. Appearing on Hannity might be a mistake for Gov. Palin.

Keep Sarah Palin on that island staring those Ruskies down (with occasional Moose and Wolf hunting expeditions to keep those bastards in line and her shooting eye straight). We want her on that wall. We need her on that wall. I would be happy to send her my book collection to help keep her warm while she's on guard duty on those long cold Alaskan nights.

Well, I have seen and heard enough. Sarah Palin = certified nutjob, in my view. Or, at the very least, far too far to the right for my liking. The actual danger of her assuming the office of the Presidency won't necessarily be the result of McCain checking out....in 4 years, he's just not going to run again.

The only way people on the right can continue to support Bush and the rest of the Republicans is if they avoid opposing view point completely. And why should Olbermann invite someone on his program who has a track record so bad that they are still supporting Bush? “Jaim, she won’t because Olbermann won’t invite her.

Obama? Going to Xinhua for her second interview isn't so bad, even if it is with Hannity (whose drooling over Romney and now Gov. Palin is pretty painful to witness). There are loads of people that only watch Fox, after all, and a candidate ought to make an effort to reach everybody. It's only bad if it becomes a habit, or if she insists the tv is set to Fox before she enters a hotel room.
