What Would A Maverick Buy For $150,000 In Donations?

Last night while Letterman was treating Sarah Palin as though she is some kind of bozo instead of the candidate for the vice presidency (of the United States... of America), our pals at BraveNewFilms were rescuing the good name of a fine American family, the Mavericks.

Meanwhile,according to today's NY Times "prominent conservatives" take her seriously. They claim they're looking for a leader, but what they mean, of course, is they want their own puppet who is a convincing mime for their crazed ideas and are salivating because Palin draws many time more mindless zombies to her rallies than McCain or any other dull GOP empty suits do. One of the most odious of the far right lunatics, Brent Bozell "called it a 'top order of business' to determine Ms. Palin’s future role. 'Conservatives have been looking for leadership, and she has proven that she can electrify the grass roots like few people have in the last 20 years,' Mr. Bozell said. 'No matter what she decides to do, there will be a small mother lode of financial support behind her.'”
