As much as it pains me to see the following byline pop up in the Washington Post:
. . . at least people are reading the goddamn thing:
Why pay journalists to write about Sarah Palin when Sarah Palin is perfectly willing to pay people to write as if they were Sarah Palin? It's almost too easy.
Hopefully the above photo, published on the cover of the New York Times today, has some sort of innocuous explanation whereby Sarah Palin has not kicked off her resignation victory tour with a bizarre twist on the sexy rock star pastime: Signing the chest of a crying child, what the fuck.

On July 3, Alaska Gov. Sara Palin announced her impending resignation from the Governor's seat, citing "a higher calling."

Letterman certainly has the right to 'joke' about whatever he wants [...]
It is a simple formula for both comedy and political commentary:
