just not in the way they think. Today’s must read. Yes, go. Read.

While McCain Raises Money For Hurricane Victims Obama Set To Jet Off For Geneva.

Wait, it’s false? You mean Reuters put out a false story? Unheard of!

Runner-up: New Palin smear: She “slashed” funding for pregnant teens by, um, expanding it.

Ed’s question of the day:

Are Obama’s people actually coming after Palin on pork? After Captain Earmark tried to stuff his fat face with federal money last year and voted — together with Biden — not to shift the money for the bridge to nowhere to Katrina relief?

Speaking of Ed Allahpundit: Palin goes on offense in Troopergate, releases affidavit.

The latest Palin ad. The campaign is reportedly releasing another today.

They county GOP just called me to work for the McCain campaign.

Wow. They are alive.

Not to be cynical, but despite the email messages, the phone calls, and signing several volunteer sheets, he opened with, “I see you volunteered for the Lynn Swann campaign . . .”

But hey. Does it really make a difference that they got my name off a two year-old list?

Kathleen Parker in the Chicago Tribune:

Should Palin and McCain prevail come November, feminism can curtsy and treat herself to a hard-earned vacation. The greatest achievement of feminism won’t be that a woman reached the vice presidency, but that a woman no longer needed feminists to get there.

It went right over my head. Drew:

The most striking thing about the first real night of the Republican convention was the stark contrast it provided with the Democrats who gathered in Denver. The chants of O-BA-MA were replaced with U-S-A. I love how they makes skin of liberals crawl because they just don’t get it.

Here it is (some were having trouble with it, so I’ve changed it to the MSNBC clip — it’s much better quality, anyway):

Don Surber has the perfect Sarah Palin campaign song.

Gretchen Wilson’s Redneck Woman (video and lyrics).

Hot.

Because I just saw this, thanks to Gateway Pundit:

The Obama Campaign is now admitting to being behind the inaccurate Sarah Palin smears.

That would include the false Alaskan Independence Party story, and the Pat Buchanan story. More at the Corner.

Thanks to Gateway Pundit for posting this:

Send her a letter.

This is awful! Do you know what Sarah Palin did? She prayed — in church! Yes, she did!

And these idiots think that’s scandalous. Stupidity that profound should be a firing offense.

A quick run-down (I’m watching now).

Bush did a really good job.

Fred Thompson is rocking the house (he’s on now). A quotation:

Some Washington punidts and media big shots are in a frenzy over the selection of a woman who has actually governed, rather than just talked a good game on the Sunday talk shows and hit the Washington cocktail circuit.

[Audience erupts]

I say give me a tough Alaskan governor who has taken on the political establishment in the largest state in the Union and won over the beltway business as usual crowd any day of the week.

[Audience erupts]

More after I’ve seen everything.

You decide. Leftist Palin-bashing that’s way off the deep end:

“Hey, come on, guys! No way can a woman handle this job, right? She has harmones every month and would have her finger on the nuclear button if she had a bad day or someone looked at her wrong! She has five kids that we are having to pay to raise, so it is our business if she has all these kids and then wants to live free on taxpayers. Go OBAMA!!!!”

“DNA testing for the whole northern redneck Palin clan. We can’t wait for the movie! Jed and Granny Clampett!”

“Maybe Bristol is not Trig’s mother …but there are 3 other adult children in the Palin family …maybe one of them? I find it hard to swallow that a woman who already had 4 grown children would elect to have a 5th at the age of 44 ! It seems logical that a 4 month old baby would belong to someone much younger …Am I making sense ?”

“If the 6 and 7 month photos are to be believed of the Governor, but so too are the ones online at 8 months (provided by Republicans bloggers), I think there is a prosthetic device being employed here that could just as easily be worn by the daughter now to continue the story-line.

Ace helps them out:

Hey, here’s a question:

How do you know Trig is even real?

Kinda small. Doesn’t talk much… I think you’re missing the obvious: Trig’s an animatronic babybot.

Ragnar makes a prediction — and frighteningly, he’s right. I’m thinking more each day that we need to dump lithium in the water supply.
