well the good thing for sarah palin (2) is that it's all coming to an end. and when she cures cancer or develops spacepac technology or creates some hot new dance move - the other sarah palin will be merely a footnote in a very bad smelling period of american history.

The President and CEO of the company I work for is named John McCain -- referred to as President McCain. We have a Vice President named Tim Conway. And another Vice President named Vice. Also a Vice President Dick. Pretty sure young Ms Palin can write her own ticket in my office.
