Leave Sarah Palin alone!

Also, anyone shocked by this please raise your hand:

One of the most enduring taboos in American politics, the airing of graphic images from the September 11 attacks in a partisan context, died today. It was nearly seven years old.

The informal prohibition, which had been occasionally threatened by political ads in recent years, was pronounced dead at approximately 7:40 CST, when a video aired before delegates at the Republican National Convention included slow-motion footage of a plane striking the World Trade Center, the towers' subsequent collapse, and smoke emerging from the Pentagon.

The September 11 precedent was one of the few surviving campaign-season taboos. It is survived by direct comparisons of one's opponents to Hitler.

I may spaz about this later, but for the time being let me say; I am sick and fucking tired of national politics for the last two decades being carried out on the moral and intellectual level as the race for Homecoming Queen at the University of Alabama.

There were so many things that disturbed me about the RNC.

Honestly, I was fully expecting them to pull the 911 crap. One of things that really bothered me was how her[1] Downs baby was paraded and passed around like a hot potato. That child isn't going to have any problems later in life. None, whatsoever.
