Too bad Tom Coburn asked Sen. Ensin to payoff that bitch and her loudmouth husband. I'm still rooting for Mitch Daniels.

Sarah was a schoolgirl
When she heard her first right wing hack
Rush Limbaugh I think it was
And from there it didn't take her long
Got herself a satellite dish
Used to watch Hannity every night
Now she's in a governor's mansion
and everything's all right
Don't ya know
Sarah told her mama
Hey, Mama, I'm going away
I'm gonna hit the big time
Gonna be a big star someday
Momma came to the door
With a teardrop in her eye
Sarah said "Don't cry Momma,
Smile and wave goodbye."
Don't you know
Chorus)
Don't you know
That you are a shooting star,..(don't you know, don't you know)
Don't you know that you are
A Shooting Star
And all the world will love you
Just as long..as long as you are?
Sarah made a big jump
Went straight up to the VP slot
Suddenly everyone loved to hear her make a speech
Watching the world go by
Surprising it goes so fast
Sarah looked around her
And said "Well I made the big time at last."
(chorus)
a shooting star.,....
(chorus)
Sarah resigned one night
Resigned from her post
With her husband and that mongoloid kid
By her side
Sarah's career passed her
by like a warm summer day
If you listen to the wind
You can still hear her say
Don't you know,...

Bad Party,
If you're taking requests, could you do a rewrite of DEVO's Come Back Jonee?

The elephant is the room that no one will address is Bristol's pregnancy.
Try it a different way.
"I'm John Adams, and I want to to introduce my lovely family. This is my sweet baby girl who has Down syndrome, and Carol, my preschooler, John, my noisy pre-teen, and Kyle here, a handsome great guy who talked the panties off a schoolmate and knocked her up. We see fine things for Kyle once we get past this hurdle and he finishes high school."

Reynolds is right about one thing: Our system is weighted towards douchebaggery. Thus, we elect douchebags.
Imagine having a different federal legislator over to your house for 535 straight days. Now imagine that you're in the district of none of these people and that you're forbidden from relaying the events of the evening to your blog or the outside world in general, so that they are free to be themselves. How many do you think you could entertain for the entire night without throwing them out of your house? Is thirty enough? Is five too many?

"Entire night" being dinner, drinks, cards, whatever. Think ~3 hours.
