Boo!

Key West's annual 10-day Fantasy Fest masking and costuming began Friday evening. This year's theme is 'Pirates, Pundits and Political Party Animals,' ascribing to the upcoming presidential election.

Gahhhh! So, yeah, the dull-witted hockey mom will be on SNL tonight. Whatever. In what way does the McCain campaign think that this is good for them, that their veep nominee is, basically, a walking sight-gag? Alex Pareene at Gawker referred to her as "America's saddest joke," and I couldn't possibly come up with a better description.

She has provided the funniest comedy moments I've witnessed for a long time - she must be Obama's best asset.

Agreed. Like I said, her only value at this point is as a walking sight gag.
