Campaigning in Virginia, Palin upbraided supporters who were only yelling out to ask her to speak more loudly. A little defensive, no? Luckily the First Dude was there, and he told her what was up.

Another questionable image claims to reveal the vice presidential candidate’s standardized IQ score. Prepare to have your worst conceptions reinforced! This somehow makes her performance on the SAT seem kind of impressive.

POLITICS BUZZ: An Alaskan legislative investigation found that Sarah Palin abused her power as governor in pressuring a commissioner to fire a state trooper who’d been married to her sister-in-law. But her firing of the same commissioner later wasn’t unlawful, said the lead investigator. My head is spinning from typing that.

POLITICS BUZZ: In an effort to protect moose and caribou, the Alaskan governor has condoned the practice, in which volunteers chase wolves from above and shoot them after they’ve died of exhaustion. Palin unsuccessfully tried to have the state pay $150 for every slaughtered wolf, which was considered an “illegal use of bounty payments.” Also, it would make wearing this shirt in Alaska a huge bummer.

POLITICS BUZZ: While Sarah Palin is new to the arena of making public mistakes , Joe Biden is a practiced professional. Here are some highlights. Biden’s known to savor the taste of his own foot, and his career is littered with big public oops moments.

POLITICS BUZZ: McCain picked Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska , as his running mate. A bold move! McCain can now safely count on those three electoral votes from Alaska. Palin’s a reformer who plays well to the cameras, but a state probe into her official conduct — she may have used her clout to fire her ex -brother-in-law from a state trooper’s position — could really backfire.

Is “racist” Joe Biden the perfect compliment for the first black Presidential nominee? Obama is on the verge of announcing his running mate . Picking Biden would show that Obama is not all uptight and politically correct. I mean, how could white voters resist supporting a black candidate who laughs at racist jokes? It is the best of both worlds!
