... police in Sarah Palin's hometown of Wasilla have arrested the half-sister of her husband, Todd, for allegedly breaking into a house in a robbery attempt.
Do you ever wish Palin was VP - even if just for the editorial cartoons?

Bizarre. Frightening and hilarious at the same moment. She could not have been created by a cartoonist - reality can be stranger than fiction.
But no, even the possibility of a laugh a minute could not justify installing a creature out of Lil Abner as vp.
Think what her answer to economic collapse would look like:
"I am providing a 30-06 and 40 rounds to every real man - and every real woman - who is ready to go out there and rustle up their own food, 'stead of waitin' for the state to serve you up a steak."

That could make quite a bit of sense in Alaska.
But could you imagine a government arming the poor in the cities?
NOT going to happen!

Good point Ghis, the privileged often fall into the trap of believing their connections and established position will protect them from legal complications, since they expect that the legal protections used to defend their privilege will extend even into other peoples homes, it seems. Those without privilege know the score.
But lets muse on the original point made in the OP for a second and consider the extent of that privilege, Does anyone know for sure that if Palin were VP if this story would even have made the news, or if charges would have been laid at all? I am doubtful on this point.

Okay, maybe:
"Andrew Jackson was the smartest president there ever was, and the smartest thing he ever did was to invite his friends to the White House for a drink 'pon 'nauguration to get the lay of the land, I'm told. I'm going to start with the no-nonsense states, like Texas and work my way down, one week per state,BYOB, and take two weeks off for Christmas at home.

Really? I don't recall defending break and enter. Do you see the problem with communications? One person says one thing and another decides to make shit up.

I suspect a pulling of leg, FM.
But let's hear a possible Palinism, please folks. Down home in Alaska or up in the Appalachians stuff.
