"Have I mentioned that David Plotz constantly tells me that Paul Ryan bears a resemblance to my husband?"

Says Emily Bazelon, as she tries to cast Paul Ryan as another Sarah Palin. He's "a cute young thing with bright blue eyes." Good looks... must be like Sarah Palin...??? And her husband... says one Plotz. (To plotz is to faint from excitement.)
Of course, Ryan's deep grip of the specifics is not at all Palin-like. No one will be worrying about whether he knows how far away Russia is, even though he has no foreign policy experience, or can handling the prep for his debate with Joe Biden. Come to think of it, odds are that he will ice Biden, right? 
It's so hard to say what you want to say! Oh, well, my husband's really cute!

Hey, imagine if Sarah Palin had written a post as flighty and disconnected as Bazelon's.

"Fellow for Creative Writing," I like that.

"Soros media fellow." That explains something.

She was a recipient of The Michael Kelly Award is for "The Fearless Pursuit and Expression of Truth"

This style of writing seems neither fearless or expressive of truth.

Honestly what would a President Romney do to create 12 million new jobs? I thought conservatives said that government doesn't create jobs, that it's the private sector. So which is it cons?


All he has to do is NOT do what Obama is doing.It really isn't all that hard of a concept to grasp, but people on the left are positively mulish in their lack of understanding of basic economic principals.

No. It will turn on R&R wanting to end Medicare!


ObamaCare cuts over $800 billion from Medicare.

Democratic Senator Ron Wyden supports Ryan's Medicare plan.

You're a flailing imbecile.
