A lovely run-down of the various Glories of Sarah Palin and how they’re lies<\/strike> myths<\/a>. Includes these top hits:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Palin visited troops in Iraq.<\/li>\n
  2. McCain-Palin appearance drew a crowd of 23,000.<\/li>\n
  3. Palin is a fiscal conservative.<\/li>\n
  4. Palin ha succeeded in signing a deal to build Alaska’s long-stalled gas pipeline.<\/li>\n
  5. Palin’s energy experience will lower gas prices and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.<\/li>\n
  6. Palin told Congress “Thanks, but No Thanks” on that Bridge to Nowhere.<\/li>\n
  7. Palin never sought earmarks as governor.<\/li>\n
  8. Palin has taken a tough stance against earmarks.<\/li>\n
  9. Palin cut taxes.<\/li>\n
  10. Palin is a reformer who brought ethics back to Alaskan politics.<\/li>\n
  11. Palin traveled abroad to Ireland.<\/li>\n
  12. Palin has experience in foreign affairs because she was commander-in-chief of the Alaska National Guard.<\/li>\n
  13. Palin sold the state’s jet on eBay.<\/li>\n
  14. Palin fired the governor’s chef.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Some are major, some are trivial — but the constant pumping-up of Palin’s rep by the McCain campaign (in part a reaction to the media inquiries into her quality as a VP candidate) keeps being shown, in small things and great, to be a tissue of … um … something.<\/p>\n
