The Palinbots haz a big sad tonight.

One of the Quitter's biggest fans, Cornell Putz, is coming apart at the seams with grief.

Probably for the better in the drive to unseat Obama, but only because of the political corruption of the media and establishment Republicans, who have been relentless in their attacks on her. It disgusts me that a candidate of such quality cannot run as a practical matter, and that we are left with second and third choices. But reality is reality, and it would have been a tough road to overcome the past three years.

Yes, the fact that the Quitter is one of the most reviled figures in politics -- and that over 70% of Teabaggers didn't want her to run -- is all because they read too much of the New York Times.

And I love this touch.

At a moment when Erickson could have shown himself to be a mensch he showed himself to be a schmuck.

On which planet is Erickson ever a "mensch"?
