Wow. This was the Palin we saw at the 2008 Republican convention, the snarling pitbull in shimmery lipstick. I know journalists aren’t supposed to use words like mean and dumb, but I can’t help it. Palin is one of the meanest people on the public stage today. She wallows in it. She loves it! Also? Possibly one of the dumbest. But mean works, and so does dumb. And so do lies, and there were many mean, dumb lies in her speech.

Joan Walsh - On Palin

[Today], we as the little guy have been subject to all the bullshit that corporate America throws at us. Conan may be a multimillionaire, but NBC has made him out to be the little guy, and he stood up to them, and I think that’s a message that resonates with young Americans. Like I already said, in the face of corporate greed, and executive F-ups, Conan took a stand, and did it with professionalism and integrity. He left his show with some great parting words that will stick with a lot of people for the rest of their lives. Not to mention, he is one funny ass dude. Who under the age of 50 doesn’t love Conan?
