All Palin, All the Time

Wow.

Andrew Sullivan posted this chart showing the instances of the above search terms in google in August. Notice that "sarah palin" peaks at August 29th.

McCain Backpedals on Iraq Timetable

Once upon a time, I wrote about how the Iraqi Prime Minister agreed with Barack Obama's timetable for troop withdrawal.
