    "... in an exclusive interview," no less. "Exclusive" of any useful information, and devoid of anyone who matters? LOL

    Precisely. But it happens all the time in our media, now obsessed with filling the gaping maw of the 24/7 news cycle with anything they can find. If there isn't any news, they make some through speculation, innuendo, etc., like using the last bit of wood for the fireplace and throwing in leaves to keep the embers from entirely going out. What emerges gives off more smoke than light.

    I think the answer to Palin presidential worries is to run Obama against her in the primary, thereby definitively knocking her out of the running, and aligning Obama with his real base. The only problem left to resolve, then, is to find a competent and committed Democrat to run ... as a Democrat and mean it.

    Believe me if there is one thing I am not laughing at it is Sarah Palin, Barack Obama may go down in history as the man who made Palin president.
