And you thought "I can see Russia from my house" was bad

Sen. John McCain's senior foreign policy advisor cites a steamy romance 50 years ago with a Brazilian babe among the things that illustrate the candidate's decades-long interest in Latin America.

What's really bad is that your use of this Tina Fey quote from a Saturday Night Live satire perpetuates the hoax that this was actually spoken by Sarah Palin. There are a lot of folk that really believe she said this because of the tripe posted on the internet. Try being informed instead of being merely opinionated.

Try getting a life instead of whining about year-old blog posts which are, in any case, only playing on a well-known trope for laughs.

Try admitting to yourself that the reason this line stuck to the Wasilla Wingnut is that it sounded exactly like so many other dumb things she did say.

Try looking at your own side for a while. How much shit has been made up and repeatedly attributed to candidates like Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, and Barack Obama? When the rightwing noise machine stops spewing lies 24/7, then maybe you'll have some place to stand.

And finally, try wrapping your head around the idea of standing up for someone who has some conceivable worth. You doe-eyed fans are just getting milked by a cynical hustler for every dollar she can grab.
