Palin's balls

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Sarah Palin yesterday, defending Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and her state's draconian anti-immigrant law:

Jan Brewer has the cojones that our president does not have. If our own president will not enforce our federal law more power to Jan Brewer.

How is Obama not enforcing the law? It was Brewer who backed, and signed, the particularly reprehensible Arizona law that repels pretty much everyone outside of the right-wing insanitarium (including pretty much the entirety of the Republican Party). Obama is still being awfully tough on illegal immigration -- Fox News notes that he is sending 1,200 more National Guard troops to the border -- but Palin, forever basking in ignorance, seems to think that having balls means hating Mexicans -- or at least allowing the police to target anyone who looks "illegal," which is to say, Mexican.

It is telling, of course, that Palin is deeply popular with her own kind and deeply unpopular with everyone else.

Ignorance, bigotry, stupidity -- she's got it all. Including the massive cojones of her right-wing fantasies.
