Young, Handsome and Suntanned
Excuse me, why are we still hearing about Sarah Palin now that the election's over? That's because, of course, the election is not over. I fear it will never be over. Obama is everywhere now, just as he was weeks up to the election. Given that there's not much more to say, even stuff like Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's latest gaffe calling Barack Obama “young, handsome and suntanned" has made it into your New York Times. I laughed at the comment (does that make me racist?), cried at it being covered as news.
