>From the New York Times today: One of the more disconcerting leaks about Gov. Sarah Palin turned out to be true.
Ms. Palin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, arrived in Phoenix, Ariz., on election night hoping to deliver her own concession speech. "It was a great speech," Ms. Palin told Matt Lauer on the "Today" show on Tuesday. Aides to her running mate, Senator John McCain, told her it was not customary for the No. 2 to speak, she said. "But, you know, I thought, even if it was unprecedented, so what, you know?" Ms. Palin told Mr. Lauer. "Geez, let's do something a little bit out of the box there." My guess is that Sarah is unaware that Geez is short for Jesus. She probably thinks it's "just a word." But this fanatical Christian was, as they say, "taking the name of the Lord in vain." Wonder what the "base" thinks of that?
