The Show about Nothing, indeed!

Mostly competent if not inspiring delivery of the SOS: partisan attacks, not a whiff or whit of substance about programs, and Welfare Queen in a Cadillac distortions.

Maybe that’ll be the new line of attack against women for Palin.

And as for the men (the heterosexual ones, at least) maybe this:

“You are clearly biased because you think she’s a hotty.”
