I may disagree with Seth MacFarline on lots of things…

but even though I resent the anti Palin stuff, why not focus on areas of agreement? After all some things just can’t be argued with:

The team also declared the show’s upcoming spoof of “Return of the Jedi” would be the show’s last full-episode “Star Wars” parody, a venture that’s generated healthy DVD sales for 20th Century Fox TV. In addition to increasing the creative team’s workload, the more recent prequels, MacFarlane explained, would be “too expensive” to recreate.

The problem is, we try to be as faithful as possible to the look of those movies; to do that with the prequels, I don’t think TV budgets have reached that level yet,” MacFarlane said.

Added Alex Borstein, who plays Lois: “That, and they sucked.”

Emphasis mine, well actually emphasis pretty much everybody.

I’ll have what he’s having

Sestak: I can’t tell if Pelosi’s a liberal

2012 = 1980

This story brought back flashbacks:

If former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin decides to jump into the 2012 presidential race, liberals would be thrilled, an unofficial poll released today shows.

In a straw poll of attendees at the Netroots Nation conference in Las Vegas over the weekend, 48 percent of respondents said they’d like to see Palin as the Republican Party’s 2012 nominee. Rep. Ron Paul came in a distant second, at 11 percent. Ten percent voted for Rick Santorum, 9 percent for Mitt Romney and 8 percent for Newt Gingrich. Seven percent chose Tim Pawlenty, while 5 percent said Mike Huckabee, and 1 percent said Rep. Mike Pence.

I seem to recall that back in 1980 democrats supporting Jimmy Carter were thrilled to death that Ronald Reagan was the Republican they were going to be facing. They were much more worried about this lightweight ex-governor who’s popularity was based on celebrity

Now I’m agnostic on the subject in one respect. Palin is young enough to run any time in the next 20 years, but liberals if you want to face Sarah Palin after 4 years of Jimmy Carter redux, bring it on!

As I recall the republican establishment didn’t care much for Reagan either, Rush is right liberals will tell us who they fear the most.

Allahpundit agrees, I don’t know how well he remembers 1980.
