Power To The PJ's

I'm just sitting around in my pajamas, trying to decide which political "big wig" I'm going to take down next.

According to Palin, "I was brought down by bloggers in pajamas in their parents' basements".

On the one hand, that's really sad that an implied low life loser, living in their parents' basement, could take down a Governor and VP candidate, without ever having to put on pants. What does that say about the empty skirt who was "brought down"?

On the other hand, she's absolutely right. Obviously, I take no credit for her downfall. Although hopefully, the handful of people who read my blog get some good morsels now and then.

But the real bloggers, like the Daily Kos, actually played an unprecedented, instrumental role in this years Presidential campaign. Indeed, it was the bloggers who were out there doing the real research, investigating and fact checking. And only after the bloggers dug up the facts, did the "real" journalists take heed and start covering the stories.

What she's really trying to say is that she "would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those pesky bloggers", with their insatiable desire for the "truth". Their steadfast reliance on "facts". Their willingness to actually do McCain's job and "vet" the VP candidate.

But she does have a point. If you bloggers are going to wield all this power, you should at least dress the part. My advice? Grab your political party's credit card, head on over to Neiman Marcus, and buy yourself something nice. Hell, go on a shopping spree, max out the card. Charge additional items for your family on your staff's credit cards. You have the power. (Ab)use it!
