Amused Cynic

The polls are showing a distinct bump for the McCain-Palin ticket, which is exciting, but the really important thing is that American women now want to cop Sarah’s look.  I think that now Obama is officially toast.

“How come everybody wants to be your friend?…..You know that it still hurts me just to see ya…”
