You can watch it all here . It was a relaxing, friendly interview. I noticed: 1. Palin thinks bloggers probably live in their mother's basement and wear pajamas ... at least the bloggers who said maybe Trig was not her baby. …
"Mr. Obama walked just at Mr. Bush’s shoulder and appeared to be speaking animatedly, gesturing with both hands." Love the picture . Michelle looks great in a bright red dress -- as she towers over Laura. Laura's we…
"Is she TRYING to make a play on that old chestnut where a guy stares at a girl's cleavage and she coos, 'My eyes are UP HERE'? Or is it just an ugly dress that looks like someone sewed the bodice out of old shou…
FoxNews is covering it live. The main theme at this point is: What's taking him so long? It's been at least 5 minutes. Predictable joke: Is he reconsidering voting for himself? Plausible theory: He's encountering prop…

So if I have nothing to say then I wasted 148 minutes. To try to salvage my lost time, I'll go with a numbered list: 1. Why is a comedy 148 minutes long? Especially a comedy based on a half-hour sitcom. It was like 5 TV episo…
