VIDEO- Jeb Bush: If Sarah Palin only had a brain....

By GottaLaff

Jeb Bush could easily have been talking about his own brother, but he wasn't. Nope, he was discussing Fluffy McSimpleton's lack of qualifications for a presidential run.

The fun starts at approximately 18:38 and goes for about a minute:

Tamyra d'Ippolito fails to get on Indiana ballot

By GottaLaff

Put away the Excedrin:

It looks like Democrats have averted a big headache in Indiana.

Tamyra d'Ippolito, the Bloomington restaurant owner who claimed to be nearing the required amount of signatures to make her the de facto Democratic nominee for Senate in Indiana, appears to have fallen short in her bid to get on the primary ballot.

To get on the ballot, a candidate must have submitted at least 4,500 signatures by noon Tuesday, with at least 500 coming from each of Indiana's nine congressional districts.

But Terry Burns, a Democratic official with the Marion County Board of Voters, said d'Ippolito only submitted three signatures Tuesday to the county clerk's office (The entire seventh district is in Marion County). Burns noted that one of her signatures came from the state's 5th district.

"She fell 498 signatures short in the seventh district," Burns told CNN.

Buh Bayh.

Sarah Palin Going "Into Seclusion" In Alaska After Convention

The headline above is what Chuck Todd just said on MSNBC. I don't know who he was talking to, but he said that she was going back to Alaska to be "in seclusion" to see her son off to the war. The day he leaves, September 11th is next Thursday, one of the many pieces of this Lifetime Movie that just seems too bizarre.

Excuse me, who the hell does this woman think she is? Gotta and I were screaming at each other over this [Laffy Note: In agreement]. She is applying for the second most important job probably in the WHOLE DAMNED WORLD!! Get your moose eating butt out there and answer some questions lady. This is total crap.

Not only is this insulting to America, it's damn insulting to women, mothers and mothers of soldiers. No one is begrudging you your goodbyes, but if we are going to put our children's lives in your hands, you go hug your kid and then get your ass out and tell us why we should trust you with our kids' lives.

I'm livid.

Laffy Note: We are both livid. This post talks about her seclusion to some degree. But to avoid the press to the degree that she has deprives voters of an honest, transparent look at what appears to be a dishonest, under qualified lightweight. Her transparency is clearly (no pun) limited to the neck up.
