Remember when comedian Louis C.K. got all hammered on rum-and-cokes at an airport and tweeted a whole bunch of nasty stuff about Sarah Palin? You know, the time he called her a "c---face" and a bunch of other things that weren't so much funny as they were mean? Or the time he was on a radio show and accused Palin of being a bad parent because she takes her mentally challenged son on stage with her? Well, according to the latest issue of GQ , C.K. feels really bad about that. "God, what a mess.

The former governor of Alaska tod Fox News that she found it "odd" that the card featured the dog rather than the cores of the holiday: "family, faith and freedom. " Americans, she added, want "American foundational values illustrated and displayed on Christmas cards and on a Christmas tree.

Dearest Sarah, You are my hero! It would have been so easy to say, "Oops, I misspoke. You see, I've been on the road, I haven't slept much, and I have this terrible fire in the belly. Of course, Paul Revere wasn't warning the British…" But no. You stuck to your story with, "I know my American history. " What do those Bostonians know about Paul Revere anyway? The important thing here is that you looked so attractive while saying it! Where were you, Sarah Palin, when I was getting a "D" in American history in college?

"The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. " --Sarah Palin, Aug. 7, 2009 The death panels are back. Sarah Palin's vision of a dystopian society in which the elderly and infirm would be required to justify their continued existence before a jury of federal functionaries has been widely ridiculed since she first posted it on Facebook three years ago.

Former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin has made another foray into Maryland politics, endorsing GOP candidate Dan Bongino in what she calls his "uphill battle" for the Senate, his campaign announced Monday. In 2010, the former Alaska governor backed Republican Brian Murphy in his unsuccessful GOP primary bid against former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. Bongino, a retired Secret Service agent, is challenging first-term Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin. "Dan has seen what politicians have done to our country, and he's decided, 'If I'm not part of the solution, I'm part of the problem,'" Palin said in a statement released by the Bongino campaign.

T his week, as Sarah Palin's book arrives in stores and she makes the rounds of media outlets, I am listening to the talk radio chatter about her and whether she might be a viable presidential candidate in a few years. I've heard from some acquaintances who find Ms. Palin invigorating, others who find her appalling, but few who are neutral. I've been a soccer, basketball, football, and dance mom, though never a hockey mom like Ms. Palin. Mostly, I was a swim mom. Ms. Palin described herself as a pit bull in lipstick.
