Gustav – bad news or good news for Republicans?

Do they realize how stupid they sound?

To me, the first good thing about the Palin nomination is that it highlights Obama’s inexperience. You can just hear him going around the house muttering, “I know you are, but what am I? I know you are, but what am I? I know you are, but what am I?” To date, Obama has written […]
