&lt;P&gt;From the news wires:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"The Boston Herald reported that on Wednesday, before South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford's exact whereabouts were widely known, the Massachusetts senator mused to reporters the wrong elected official had dropped out of sight.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"Too bad if a governor had to go missing it couldn't have been the governor of Alaska," he said, according to the paper. "You know, Sarah Palin."&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Palin herself, speaking to U.S. troops in Kosovo, responded Friday with a shot aimed straight for the face — literally. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"Then Sen. John Kerry makes this joke, I don't know if you saw this, but he makes this joke saying, 'Aw shoot, of all the governors in the nation who disappeared, too bad it couldn't have been that governor from Alaska…'" she said.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"But the way he said it, he looked quite frustrated, and he looked so sad, and I just wanted to reach out to the TV and say, 'John Kerry, why the long face?'"&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Gov. Palin is overseas visiting Alaska National Guard troops on a peacekeeping mission.""&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;WAY TO GO SARAH!!!!!!&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;btw: ever wonder why Dems don't complain about our occupying troops in Kosovo - which was our only truly illegal and unaurhorized by congress war?&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Actually, the REAL joke goes like this:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;A man is sitting on the curb, crying after seeing his beloved cat run over by a steamroller.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;A passerby stops and asks, "Hey fella, why the long puss?"&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Frankly, only an idiot would concern himself with a pissing match between two phonies. &lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: The Mittster will lay her low (figuratively, not literally)</title><link>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2938977.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 26 Jun 2009 20:55:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8e55aff1-63ee-4857-a1e9-69fccb83d317:2938977</guid><dc:creator>NCmusicman</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2938977.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=1649&amp;PostID=2938977</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;If not already (as I am) - most people will be wishing they had voted for Romney, as I did.&lt;/P&gt;
